A storm that hit Blount County this morning caused several trees to fall, blocking roads across the county.

Blount County Highway Department Superintendent Bill Dunlap said three trees fell in Leatherwood Estates at Walland. Crews were busy at 8 a.m. today clearing the roads, which included Brown School Road, Old Knoxville Highway and Johnson Road.

Townsend Police Chief Ronnie Suttles said his officers had driven all the roads in the city and found no downed trees over the roads.

While the river is full, Suttles said it is “not even close to flooding.”
