At 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning, May 28, straight-line winds swept through the Haleyville area toppling trees, knocking out power and causing some serious property damage. The Haleyville City Hall and Centurytel were both utilizing their respective emergency power generators for most of the day as repair crews worked to replace a power pole and lines taken down by a tree on 9th Avenue in front of the Wallace Thrasher home. The home of Congressman Robert Aderholt was not seriously damaged when a large tree fell across the roof. A power pole with transformer was knocked down with a falling tree on 10th Avenue. There were no reported injuries.
