This tree fell on a home in Heiskell during the storm that moved through the area early Monday. No injuries were reported. - Anderson County EMA Director Joe Mead
A major spring storm that brought a line of thunderstorms and howling winds through the area Sunday night and early Monday mostly spared Anderson County from any serious problems, authorities reported. “For the most part, Anderson County was very fortunate to escape major damage,” County Mayor Terry Frank said Monday afternoon. “Currently, EMA has reports of trees down on two homes, one in Heiskell and one in Oak Ridge,” she said. “The winds took trees and/or branches down around the county, and the Highway Department and volunteer fire departments did a tremendous job of clearing roads.” There were some power disruptions reported, but they were not widespread.

Still On track
Although pouring of concrete for the new sidewalks on Market Street in Historic Downtown Clinton was originally scheduled to be completed this week, weather has delayed the work, which may take about three more weeks, City Manager Roger Houck said Monday. But Houck said the sidewalks, planters and landscaping are still on schedule to be finished by the weekend of the Clinch River Spring Antique Festival, on May 1-2. “We plan to resume pouring concrete on Wednesday (March 18), and we should have the sidewalks ready by the time of the festival, but the street paving won’t begin until mid-May,” he said.” “We are 77% complete as of today,” he added. “We’ve seen a lot of progress over the past two-and-a-half to three weeks.” The city does plan to have Market Street open for street vendors during the festival, Houck said. Motorists also will have to use detours around sections of Main Street again beginning this week, he said, as sewer line installation resumes.
