Haletown Volunteer Fire crews responded to Hwy 41 late Tuesday afternoon when strong thunderstorms powered through the area, knocking down trees. Intense winds caused trees to fall onto the highway, making it unpassable at Sullivans Landing and near the Upper Bank restaurant. After a period of time, firemen were able to clear the roadway.
