Trimble was hit worse than anywhere else in Dyer County on Tuesday when a summer thunderstorm blew across the town on the county's northern tier at about 11 a.m. Clockwise, from top: Trimble utility manager David Nosworthy operates the city's only trackhoe to remove a fallen tree limb from East Mitchell Street as a Gibson Electric Coop crew works to restore power after the storm; Another Gibson EMC crew works to repair a fallen line on Church Street; the Trimble sign on U.S. 51 south of the town sufffered damage once again due to high winds; a Trimble volunteer firefighter checks out the house on Baldridge Street that was covered by a fallen tree; and a pickup truck is pulled from the southbound right-of-way of U.S. 51 south of Trimble, where the driver lost control of the vehicle and drove off the road into a ditch. The Dyer County Sheriff's Department reported a fire on 104 East caused by lightning, and about 3,400 Dyersburg residents were without power for 20 minutes on Tuesday due to lightning.
