GREAT. THANKS, SARA 6.33 AND THE IMPACT OF WEEKEND STORMS IS STILL BEING FELT THIS MORNING. TUSCALOOSA COUNTY IS ON A TWO HOUR DELAY AND IN VESTAVIA, ONE OF THE SCHOOLS WAS FORCED TO CLOSE. VESTAVIA HILLS ELEMENTARY WEST WILL NOT OPEN TODAY. �������� 13 S MYA CALEB JOINS US LIVE FROM MARYVILLE ROAD ON HIGHWAY 31 AND MYA. WHAT IS THAT DAMAGE LIKE OUT THERE? WELL, GUYS, OFFICIALS TELL US THAT WATER FLOWED DOWN THIS ROAD RIGHT HERE LEADING TO SOME OF THIS DAMAGE THAT YOU SEE ON THE OTHER SIDE. AS YOU CAN SEE, PARTS OF THE ROAD HAVE COME UP. WE HAVE PIECES OF DEBRIS RIGHT OVER HERE, EVEN TO THE POINT WHERE THE ROAD HAS COME UP IN THIS AREA. AND THEY HAD TO PUT BARRICADES IN PLACE TO KEEP TRAFFIC FROM COMING DOWN ON THIS SIDE. BECAUSE OF THIS DAMAGE, ALONG WITH SOME OF THE FLOODING. THE ELEMENTARY HERE IS CLOSED TODAY, AND THE DECISION IS STILL BEING MADE ON WHETHER OR NOT THE SCHOOL WILL OPEN TOMORROW. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT MARYVILLE ROAD WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. AND OFFICIALS ALSO TELLING US THAT A BLOCKED DRAIN POSSIBLY LED TO ALL OF THIS DAMAGE. AND THERE IS NO IDEA YET ON HOW LONG THIS RESTORATION WILL TAKE PLACE. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT A CONTRACTOR WILL BE ON SITE AT SOME POINT TO EVALUATE ALL OF THIS. LI
