Friday about 11:30 I was about to go online and let you know you might not hear from me for a few days if we lost power because of the high winds and tornado warnings. They even cancelled school Friday because of the high winds. Anyway just as I sat down to message you I watched one of those 30 foot trees start falling over. It never hit the ground because it fell into some other trees. Just as I called upstairs and told Patricia to bring Lexi and Eva to the basement the second tree went down and that's when we lost our power. The last night 94 hours later we finally got our power back or at least some of it. Then I looked out back and the wires on my elec. pole were on fire. About the time my two trees went down Outlaw Field a small private airport of hit my 79 mile an hour winds. We finally got our internet back about 30 min. ago.
We had over 30,000 homes without power. They still have about 7,000 out this morning. It has been wild. Maybe tonight I can finally get some sleep. It turns out that in the yard across the street from us had a telephone pole on the ground. We sat in line a McDonald's to get breakfast Sat. and Sunday. We lost everything in the freezer and both refrigerators. The first two days many of the main roads were blocked because of downed tree. Many trees were up rooted our two were snapped. The girls and I went to Lowes and got a small gas grill because or electric one was useless. Last night we made grilled cheese and tomato soup on it and today It took about 10 min. from start to make hamburgers. Well since everything is up a running I have to go online and order some groceries. I'm gone with the wind in Clarksville <G>/ Kyra |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You stay safe as well! We’re having extremely high winds, low temperatures and rain off and on with the winds not stopping. Had some hail just before I left the house for work this morning. Fortunately people were driving slower than usual because of the winds. This stuff is supposed to last through into next week with cold temperatures and possibly rain next week. Lunch time is over so back to work I go! love you stay safe! Colleen |
