In Marshall County, power lines were down in Kingston over the Roosevelt Bridge, which is on Highway 70. Traffic is backed up and being diverted. Also in Kingston, South Muncrief Road is flooded, so city workers have blocked off the road. There’s also reports of trees down across the county.
There is power outages reported in Durant.
And lots of heavy rain was reported in Gainesville Wednesday night. They had reports of street flooding. Elsewhere in Cooke County, a man’s pick-up was swept off the road into rising water in Era, but he was able to get himself out before emergency management officials arrived.
