Winds had largely subsided in Lakeland by sunrise.
Paul Womble, Polk County’s Director of Emergency Management, said county employees were conducting a damage assessment Thursday morning. He said the county must compile a detailed inventory of debris and send it to state and federal authorities to get access to government assistance programs for residents and businesses.
“We’ve had calls and photos of trees down and water in people’s homes,” Womble said. “We are not aware of any injuries and certainly no deaths at this time.”
