Last Wednesday,
Dec. 17, a massive wind storm hit the area knocking out power, knocking
down trees, blowing garbage cans down the street, etc. In Cottonwood
power was out from 5:15 a.m. to 11:05 a.m. Other areas were without
power for days. Pictured above is a tree that fell into the Brandon
Waller home behind the Hangout. The lower photo shows crews cleaning up
a tree that hit power lines and fell across King Street just north of
where it splits off of Business 95. Click on each photo for a larger view.
