Great River Energy linemen Dennis Clifford, left, and Dan Burnstein saw up 29 downed power poles just east of Brown County Road 13, south of Hanska, May 29. New power poles will replace the old ones this week. The Hanska Fire Department responded to a report of downed power poles and lines May 28 after a wind and thunderstorm dumped heavy rain in various areas including south of Hanska.
