Pinson Storm Recovery: Debris Clearance Underway

0:00In Birmingham, it's March 2nd. Here's what is happening. Clean up from severe storms is still underway in Pinson, Alabama after powerful weather hit on February 26th. The storms knocked out power and damaged homes, leaving some still empty as crews work through the mess. The National Weather Service confirmed a microburst in Pinson with winds between 70 and 75 miles per hour. Right nearby in Trussville, an EF-0 tornado touched down, causing scattered damage across the area. Fourteen families in Pinson now have no place to live because of the destruction. Residents are dealing with uprooted trees, broken roofs, and flooded yards, which has slowed down their return home. Service works, a local cleanup company, is hauling away debris and expects to finish most of the job this week. Officials say the hard work will keep going for a few more days to make streets safe again. Meanwhile, Trussville is bouncing back from its tornado hit, with teens repairing power lines and clearing paths. Everyone's hopeful normal life resumes soon for these tight-knit communities.
