Unusually high wind gusts for this time of year have caused a number of problems across the High Country today. With many downed trees power outages began during the afternoon, as noted on the WataugaOnline Twitter account.
Multiple fire departments responded to a structure fire in the Meat Camp community earlier today. It is currently unknown if or how the high winds played a factor in it.
In Foscoe a downed power line caused a brush fire at a local man's home.
