Around 500 people remained without power as of 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in and around Gadsden after Sunday afternoon storms inflicted damage in several different neighborhoods.

At least 10 residences were damaged by falling trees, but no injuries were reported. There were two lightning-related structure fires and more than 40 calls dealing with downed trees in roadways.

City officials said multiple local agencies are working around Gadsden to clean up and catalogue damage.

“This was the biggest storm we’ve had in several years, and the damage from it was horrendous,” Mayor Craig Ford said . “We’ve had every available firefighter, police officer, dispatcher and EMA staffer responding, as well as our public works department working through the night on clean-up. We’ve also received assistance from the cities of Attalla and Hokes Bluff.”

In all there were more than 217 reports of wind damage, city officials said.

Residents are also encouraged to use caution when traveling as some traffic lights may still be out, and public works clean-up crews are still clearing debris from roadways.
