No injuries have been reported in Montgomery County.

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed says most of the damage happened in the Spring Valley neighborhood off Woodley Road.

“We extend our support to those impacted, especially our friends in the southern portion of our city and the Pike Road area, and our dedicated teams have been on the ground working tirelessly to restore normalcy,” Reed said.

According to Montgomery City/County Emergency Management Agency, most roads in Montgomery County have now been cleared, and crews continue to work on removing downed power lines and restoring power.

Residents are encouraged to report any storm damage by calling (334) 625-2339, emailing ema@montgomeryal.gov, or submitting reports through the agency’s mobile app.

Residents are also encouraged to stay informed by following the City of Montgomery’s official channels, as well as Montgomery EMA’s official channels, for updates on recovery efforts and resources.

“I want to thank our first responders, Public Works and EMA personnel, and residents for their swift actions and resilience,” Reed said.

Pike Road Mayor Gordon Stone also issued a statement, saying in part:

“We are aware of multiple locations where property was impacted. Local officials from the Montgomery County EMA are currently visiting the locations to assess.
We are also very, very appreciative of our fire departments, Montgomery County EMA, road service teams, sheriff’s department, state troopers, power/utility crews and helpful neighbors. All of these teams have been and are actively working to assist those in need.
All road systems are functional and power crews are at work. However, with the trees down across the area, we encourage people to be careful and patient.
If you have an emergency, please call 911 so proper responders can be notified,” Stone said.
