It didn’t take long for a high-wind thunderstorm to topple trees, knock down utility lines, and flood roads Monday afternoon in Warren County.High winds blew off a portion of the Taco Bell sign on Smithville Highway and it temporarily disrupted traffic before it was moved.Trees were down across the county, including several that fell across roads. West Green Hill Road, Couch Street, Spring Street, Pine Bluff Road, and Locust Street were just a few of the places where trees were snapped. On some roads, the fallen tree blocked both lanes of traffic.On Fairview Road, a vehicle crashed into a tree as members of the Collins River Fire Department were attempting to clear it from the road.
