Franklin County hit by strong storm Monday night

A strong storm Monday night brought strong straight line winds across the county and possibly a tornado to Carrabelle and Lanark Village.
The Franklin County road Department said they believe there were tornadoes in the eastern end of the county, and Lanark Village was particularly hard hit.
There were no injuries reported, but Public Works supervisor Howard Nabors said there was plenty of damage to trees.
Road workers were able to clear the roads quickly but said there is still plenty of debris is people’s yard that they will be cleaning up for quite a while.
Power was also knocked out to many areas of the county but was mostly restored by Tuesday afternoon.
Storm damage was also seen farther east in Wakulla County.
Wakulla County Fire Rescue says that at least two homes were damaged when the storm moved through that county and several dozen large trees blocked roads for hours.

There was also storm damage reported in Sopchoppy.
