A strong storm blew through the Hall County area Friday afternoon, sending trees and power lines into roadways all across the county. On Green Street, traffic was diverted in the midst of rush hour after a large oak on the property of 615 Green St. was struck by lightning and sent crashing into the road, taking out several power lines along the way. Gainesville Police Department spokesmen said no one was injured in the incident but the road would likely be closed until early morning.
