AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Last night’s powerful storms continue to cause power outages to hundreds of residents throughout the CSRA.

However, 10 hours ago, over 1,900 customers in Columbia County were experiencing power outages.

Jefferson Energy Cooperative shows only 3 customers currently out of power in McDuffie, Jefferson, and Warren counties as of 6:30 a.m.

We went live Tuesday morning to West Martintown Road to see just how much damage the storms caused in North Augusta.

Several viewers sent pictures and videos of the storms forming right above their homes. Some also sent us images of them checking out the warm orange sunset.

Monday’s storm seems to have left behind wet roads, several trees and branches down, and thousands without power.

Crews were there last night to clear the entrance to a neighborhood there, after tree limbs knocked down some power-lines.

Crews worked late into the night in some areas to get power back up and running.

The majority of homes in this area weren’t affected by outages for long.

One neighbor told us her power kicked back on at 8:30 p.m. last night despite her power company saying it could last until 4:30 a.m. this morning.
