HOUSTON COUNTY: This is a post from a Houston County citizen concerning the weather Sunday and the lack of response.
It appears there were trees across the roadway and a Houston County Commissioner reported to them the county would not respond after dark. The FACEBOOKK writer reported neighbors removed the trees from the roadway and cleared it. There is no mention if county crews were dispatched and barricades placed for the tree to alert motorists.
But the nieghbors cleared the roadway and Bobby Shelley with Wiregrass Electric responded, after hours, and connected power. WIREGRASS ELECTRIC is great in taking care of their customers.

SUNSET TIME was at 5:11 PM. At 5:49 PM on Sunday Houston County 911 dispatched Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department to 1232 Junction Road to “a pine tree in roadway across both lanes”. The members of Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department responded, some 45 minutes AFTER SUNSET to the tree in the roadway yet Houston County Commissioners informed residents that Houston County would not responded atfersunset.
Southern Junction Volunteer Fire Department removed the tree from the road.
But all we hear from the Houston County Commission is “accountability” for the fire – rescue who donate their time and energies to assist the people in the community. But those paid, Commissioner $ 33,000.000 a year plus cost of living raises, $ 250.00 a month auto allowance, vested in Alabama State Retirement in 10 years of service, and county crews are not responding after hours. VOLUNTEERS, no compensation only critisism and you need to be more accountable.
BY THE WAY, only 3 of the 5 Houston County Commissioners attended the Houston County Commission Meeting on Monday. And the agenda had one item, selling some vehicles at the auction.
