LOCAL DAMAGE FROM WEEKEND STORMS — David Wayne
Strong storms hit the area over the weekend — and one home in Myrtle Grover suffered substantial damage after a tree fell on it. Fire crews were called to the scene after the owner smelled smoke. Firefighters say there was smoke in the home, but power was cut quickly to prevent further damage. Nobody was hurt at the home. The storms also resulted in some power outages around Pensacola, and thousands were out in Baldwin and Mobile counties for a time on Saturday.
