This was one of several local homes damaged by the passage of Tropical Storm Michael. Photo by Tracie West A tree blocks the road on Route 642 between Moon and Mathews Court House on Friday morning, forcing residents of Moon and Diggs to travel around to Salem Church Road to get out of their neighborhood. While the tree was cleared from the road by Friday afternoon, the downed power line caused by the tree falling took longer to fix; power wasn’t restored to that neighborhood until late Sunday afternoon, while others didn’t get power back until Monday.
