Sunday storms damage local service center, 1500 left without power
(WHNT) – Severe storms on Sunday brought damaging winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours causing power outages and damage across North Alabama.
Several businesses were severely damaged including S&S Service Center in Owens Cross Roads which the Owens Cross Roads Police Department (OXPD) says is “mostly destroyed.”
S&S Service Center, located on HWY 431, had nearly half of its building torn apart by the storms. The wind carried much of the debris across a field next to the business and caused a tree to fall in the parking lot.
OXPD also says that the storm caused boards and nails to be scattered across US 431 but at this time are not reporting any injuries from the storm.
