Days after strong storms hit Jefferson County, massive trees are still impacting roads and laying on top of damaged houses.

The storms took down power lines and trees which blocked some roads. More than 200 active power outages are affecting 4,297 residents in central Alabama as of early Monday afternoon, according to Alabama Power.

Officials say they are working to clear the damage before another storm hits.

“We had a number of trees down over the weekend, especially in the southern part of the county, but we have crews on call and they are still out responding to things,” Jefferson County Public Information Officer Helen Hays told AL.com. “Our goal is to really have everything from this weekend storm cleared by tomorrow, before the next storm hits.”

The Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency reported that a higher-end severe weather threat is forecast for much of Central Alabama and Jefferson County through Tuesday afternoon and night.

“This system has the potential to bring significant impacts across the region,” The agency wrote in a Facebook post.

Residents across the county were impacted by the storms that hit Saturday and Sunday. Large uprooted trees remained on top of houses, some demolished, in Birmingham’s Huffman area.

Major roads were blocked by fallen trees, although most streets were passable on Monday.

In Birmingham, there were 128 reports of fallen trees and road blocked issues. Ten streets remain blocked, according to the Birmingham Department of Public Works.

“DPW crews have worked overtime since the storms, clearing up downed trees and roads blocked,” Rick Journey, city of Birmingham’s director of communications, said.

News reports demonstrated damage was widespread, with several residents having to extract themselves from their houses after trees hit.

During the weekend storm, Doris Reel, a McCalla resident, had a tree fall on her home while she and her husband Leonard slept.

“Glass fell down, the rain poured in, the tree came through the skylight and through our bathroom and other places in our bedroom,” Reel told WVTM 13. “We ran. My husband said, ‘Go right now. Leave before the walls fall in.’”

A Trussville resident said a tree fell beside their children’s rooms and missed crashing onto a car, WVTM reported.

A tree fell on a house in St. Clair County but there were no injuries, according to the National Weather Service.

One tree fell across a section of Colonnade Parkway. The tree blocked all lanes going towards Hwy. 280, forcing many drivers to turn around, according to media reports.

In Hoover and Vestavia, some businesses were without power due to the overnight storms. AMC Patton Creek 15 showed movies without air conditioning for hours on the warm and muggy Sunday.

Center Point Mayor Bobby Scott said that while the storm caused power outages and fallen trees, it did not cause much damage in the area.

“We did have some power outages, but no major property damage…We had a few trees down on different roads, but those were taken care of immediately by Alabama Power,” Scott told AL.com.

“We were very fortunate. We didn’t get anything that was a major threat.”

AL.com reached out to the Shelby County Emergency Management Agency but did not receive responses prior to publishing.
