That final line of rain is the cold front and as it passes it's bringing wind gusts in excess of 50 mph. Lexington saw a wind gust just after 9:00 to almost 60 mph! There has been sporadic non-storm related wind damage from these gusts around Lexington and other communities including reports of a tree onto a house and one onto power lines.
