Storms cause minor damage
By Brittany WoodbyBWOODBY@CULLMANTIMES.COM
Thunderstorms Tuesday caused some damage in Fairview and Holly Pond, knocking some trees into roads and on houses.
Still, the damage was minor compared to recent storms which toppled buildings and power lines.
“There were a few reports of damage,” Cullman County Emergency Management Agency Assistant Director Kelly Allen said. “(Alabama) Highway 69 at Fairview was blocked by trees and traffic was being diverted around. The county road department on the east side was removing trees on the detour route.”
Allen said there were only two reports of trees fallen on houses, one on County Road 1718 and another on County Road 1742. However, Allen said there were reports of trees on power lines around Fairview and Holly Pond.
The Cullman County Electric Co-Op was unsure how many homes were without power at press time.
Before the storms hit, Allen said he and technicians repaired several weather sirens which had been out around the county, including sirens in Welti, Jones Chapel, and two sirens in Logan.
Allen said crews did not have time to inspect and repair sirens in Arkadelphia and Colony before the storms hit Tuesday, but he expects for those sirens to be fixed by the end of this week or the beginning of next.
