The Franklin County road department
says they are seeing number of dead pine trees throughout the county
since Hurricane Michael and they really need to be removed before the
next storm season starts in June.
They believe salt water pushed up by
the storm may have killed the trees, increasing the danger that they
could fall on the roadway and hit a car.
It has happened before.
Two people were killed in Franklin
County in 2010 when a dead pine tree fell on their car as they were
driving near Lanark Village.
The county doesn't have the authority
to remove all of the trees because many of them are on state-owned or
privately owned property.
The county commission did agree to
contact the state about the problem in the hopes they will hire a
contractor to survey the county and remove the most dangerous trees
as soon as possible.
