HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — Strong thunderstorms rumbled across Madison County Wednesday night downing trees and power lines, and producing the first rain Huntsville’s seen in three weeks.

Dan Dixon, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said most places in the Huntsville area reported from a quarter-inch to a half-inch of rain.

 The last time any measurable rainfall was reported at Huntsville International Airport was May 26, Dixon said, a day when severe storms crossed North Alabama, producing several small tornadoes and damaging winds.

Outages were also reported in Madison, Chase, Gurley, New Market, west Huntsville, south Huntsville and north Huntsville.
