A severe thunderstorm rolled through Covington and the lighting that accompanied it knocked down many trees, some landing on vehicles and homes. The wind, however, appears to be the biggest culprit in much of the damage, a lot of which is concentrated in Covington's Westside along Holman, Banklick, and Russell as well as Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth. Linden Grove Cemetery also suffered serious damage when a tree struck by lighting destroyed portions of its fence. A residential parking lot with about five to seven cars in it is now covered by a large tree that came down on Bakewell. Covington city employees, including fire, police, and public improvements are hard at work all over town.
