Much of the damage from the high winds seems to be on the west side of Emporia at this hour.
There are several downed tree limbs, one snapped from the bottom of the tree, a downed power line by a home, and a wood privacy fence has been destroyed. Winds swept through Emporia earlier this evening as a severe storm passed through the area.
Westar Energy's Web site is reporting that 680 people are without power in Lyon County.
See Friday's Gazette for more coverage and photos from this storm.
