What just passed through...

Winds up to and maybe even exceeding 40 mph pushed rapidly through Marshall late this afternoon, toppling tree branches all over the city. Police, electric crews and firefighters were called to Dobbins and Green Street where a pole fell across the Dobbins Street entrance to the Redfield Plaza. While there, officers and crews were called to North Mulberry where a secondary line to a home sagged low over the sidewalk and while there, crews were reportedly called to Homer Road where a primary line was apparently felled by a falling branch, according to a preliminary report.
