One person died, more than 60 trees fell and up to 4,500 electricity customers were without power at the height of a lingering thunderstorm that slammed Warren County Saturday evening.

The death came in a housefire off Youngton Road near the Yazoo County line in north Warren County.

Sheriff Martin Pace said the person, who early this morning had not been identified by gender, race or age, died in a blaze at a mobile home during the storm that hit the county with full force at about 6:30 p.m. The mobile home was at Buck Creek Hunting Camp.

&#8220We have downed trees from one end of the county to the other with the majority of them in the north end of the county,” Pace said. &#8220We have them all the way from Yokena to as far east as Oak Ridge Road and Flowers. These were just some strong straight-line winds.”

Winds reported by the National Weather Service to be up to 65 mph slammed the area from the west and seemed to hang over for more than two hours.

By 10:15 p.m., said Entergy spokesman Don Arnold, up to 4,500 customers were without power. At 1:30 this morning, Entergy was continuing to reconnect power throughout the city and county.

&#8220It’s a slow go, because we have a lot of isolated (outages),” Arnold said.

Pace said the E-911 dispatch center received more than 50 calls of downed trees in the county. Up to 10 more were reported down in the city.

At the height of the storm, Warren County Emergency Management Director L.W. &#8220Bump” Callaway said the county was not under a tornado watch or warning.

&#8220There is a lot of noise and wind and the potential is there for high wind and thunderstorms,” he said. Callaway could not be reached later in the storm.

In the county, Whatley Road, Winchester Road at Edinburgh, two portions of Freetown Road and Haleys Point were still &#8220completely blocked” around 11 p.m., Pace said. By then, Pinehurst, Grange Hall Road and Glass Road at U.S. 61 South had been cleared by the Warren County Road Department and other workers.

Sgt. Randy Blake with the Vicksburg Police Department said about 10 roads and streets were blocked in the city due to downed trees. The streets included Locust at Cypress, Confederate Avenue at Halls Ferry Road, Meadowbrook at Pemberton, Mission 66 and Military and Drummond and Finney streets and Indiana Avenue. Some property damage was reported as a result of trees falling, Blake added.

Pace said many volunteers came out to help remove debris and trees from roadways at the height of the storm.

Vicksburg Ready Mix and Tony Ford Logging Company both used their own equipment to clear trees, Pace said.

The National Weather Service forecast early today called for a 20 percent chance of showers throughout the day with a high near 79.
