Saturated soil and high winds are causing trees to uproot along State Route 250.

There are reports of trees down along the route, one landing on a porch roof. Another was seen laying across power lines near a local nursery.

High winds are expected to continue throughout the day.

According to the Appalachian Power Outage map there is not yet an estimated restoration time.
