Scenic KY 768, Adair Co., KY: MP 19 Daffodil Exhibition 2012-03-03 - Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Around every curve on the Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY, there was breathtaking beauty. Here on at MP 19, there's a trip marker tree, bare in this season, but late winter enhancements of a nearby endless view, and an early blooming bed of daffodils which withstood the previous day's storm quite well, thank you very much. Sparksville Road is one of six named segments along Adair County's longest highway, KY 768, nearly 30 miles with concurrencies, all within the county. For the record: the photo was taken at around 7amCT, Saturday, March 3, 2012. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

The Pines at Lindsey Wilson: Just cosmetic landscape issues 2012-03-03 - The Pines at Lindsey Wilson, 275 Country Club Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. At least the Clubhouse and Mulligan's Restaurant area appeared to have suffered little damage from the storm which moved through and a caused temporary store closing at Columbia Walmart, a few tenths of a mile away. The worst seemed to be a bit of pine debris on the drive across Country Club Road from the Donald and Bobbie McKinney home, background. Aside from a bit of insult to early daffodils - which were already recovering this morning - there was no heavy storm damage evident here.

Walmart 'closed till further notice' 2012-03-03 - Burger King, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Columbia Super Walmart remained closed this morning Saturday, March 3, 2012 with access only to the Walmart Pharmacy. When this photo was taken just a little after sunrise, between 6am-7amCT, the parking lot was only partially filled with Walmart and other Semis, employee vehicles, and a few vehicles apparently left after the hailstorm swept through. A sign over the Home & Pharmacy entrance reads, "Closed until further notice." The hailstorm appears to have followed a very narrow west-east path, generally paralleling the Louie B. Nunn Parkway. Even at Holladay Place, the only damage appeared to be atWalmart. The Duo County office, Goodwill store, Burger King Restaurant, and Five Star convenience store seemed to have escaped damage, and BQ and Five Star were operating as usual this morning.
