This morning, work crews with the Bossier Parish Highway Department and SWEPCO cleared a fallen tree that blocked the road in the 500 block of Crouch Road in Benton.
The fallen pine tree snapped a nearby powerline, knocking off power at homes in the area.
Throughout the night, crews were busy handling more than 50 weather- related calls in the parish. Those calls ranged from flooded roads, trees across the road, trees on powerlines, trees on structures, and utility lines down.
Residents are urged to report flooded or blocked roads to the Bossier Parish Highway Department at 318-965- 3752.
