A severe thunderstorm packing incredibly strong straight-line winds rolled through Callaway during the early morning hours on Saturday, July 29, leaving residents without power for hours and downed trees all over town in its wake. Scenes like the one pictured were visible on every block in town. By Saturday evening, power was finally restored to all residents. Clean-up efforts will continue for several days.

We will have the complete story in this week's issue of The Callaway Courier.
