SOME SECTIONS ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER IN CALHOUN - Storm Disrupts Service To 88,000

(07/26/2005)

About 21,000 West Virginia residents were still without power today following a severe storm that swept across part of the state. Several areas of Calhoun were still without power, including sections close to Arnoldsburg, Stinson and Sycamore, among others. Several areas of the county have experienced disrupted telephone service. Crews are in the county working on the problem. At least two people were killed yesterday evening in WV. A tree limb snapped and fell on David Colby in Charleston's East End. He died before paramedics could get him to a nearby hospital. Seventy-three-year-old Pedro Pastor Escobar-Gonzalez was killed by a window that police believe blew out from an adjacent building. The window fell on him while he was sitting outside reading his Bible. The power company reported 88,000 without electric last night.
