Another round of storms that moved through Kentucky Sunday evening left thousands in the state without power.
According to Emergency Management Director Greg Beam, at one point, more than 800 in Montgomery County lost power.
As of around 8:30 a.m. today, that number had dwindled to 17.
"Besides that it was quiet," Beam said.
A flood watch remains in effect through Monday evening, according to an advisory from the National Weather Service in Jackson. One or more rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected today. Where thunderstorms are most persistent, flash flooding could result, the NWS says.
Sunday's storm came on the heels of severe weather Aug. 11. During that weather event, at one point, at least 22 percent of the county's electric customers (more than 3,000 homes) were without power.
High winds knocked down trees all over the county during the earlier storms.
The city of Mt. Sterling announced following the Aug. 11 severe weather event Public Works would pick up debris from storms Aug. 17-Aug. 21.
Residents are asked to cut limbs in pieces no longer than 5 feet in length and stack near the curb. Crews are picking up in each neighborhood daily.
