City of Marion has some water on roads

A vehicle makes its way through water running from a filled ditch, over the road to a small branch just east of Marion on Saturday morning. Tropical Storm Hannah dumped three to five inches of rain in the City of Marion, which closed some roads in neighborhoods on the east side of town. City sanitation workers began removing tree limbs and cleaning the streets about 7:30 a.m.
