Primary power lines in the Claxton Loop area have been restored following recent severe storms, Independence County Judge Kevin Jeffery said Thursday.
Meanwhile, cleanup efforts continue as the Independence County Road Department diligently works to clear natural debris from roads and right-of-ways. The dusk-to-dawn curfew remains in effect for areas impacted by the storms.

Officials urge residents to remain cautious while recovery operations are ongoing.
