As soils wet, trees weaken…and fall

In these parts the recent rains have soaked soils to the extent that the integrity of some trees are impacted, and they’ve begun to fall.  The Walhalla Fire Department is an example of Oconee County fire departments who’ve responded this week to downed trees across the roadways.  With the likelihood of more rain starting this afternoon, motorists–and pedestrians–should be on the lookout.
