Road crew out twice during Monday/Tuesday night

By Ed Waggener

There were some trees downed by the storm Monday night, July 19, 2010, keeping some of the Adair County Road Department out all night.Judge Ann Melton went to the 911 Center at 7:30pmCT, last night, when the first call, that a tree was down in the Knifley area, was logged. "I stayed until 9 o'clock," she said, "and thought it was over, and went home," she said.

But County Roads Superintendent Jobe Darnell said that he received a call after he had returned home that a large tree was down across Sulpher Creek RD (District 1 in Northeast Adair County). The job was so big that a backhoe was needed, and Mitchell Rooks was called in to help.

That obstruction was not removed until sometime between 3am and 4am this morning, July 20, 2010. "Jobe said that when he got back to the county highway garage, and saw what time it was," he decided it was 'almost time to go to work,' so he just stayed," Judge Melton said.
