Clean up efforts underway in Franklin County after second round of winter storms After the winter storms, comes the clean up By DeAndria Turner | February 19, 2021 at 9:24 PM CST - Updated February 19 at 9:24 PM FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) - This week’s winter storms are gone, but they left behind plenty of trouble in Franklin County. In Franklin County, thousands of trees are covered in ice. The weight of the ice is what’s causing them to snap and fall. That’s a major reason why power crews battled a lot of power outages. Franklin County EMA Director, Mary Glass, said that crews have been working around the clock to restore power in parts of Franklin county.
