Ross:

Was in your area yesterday picking up sorted cards from Pete KF5RD.
The area looks similar to here but across from Pete's there was this
huge tree that fell on a van in the driveway.  Turned a perfectly good
SUV into a V shaped hunk of metal!  That's the worst damage I have
seen.  No body hurt - van in the wrong spot when the tree collapsed.

I saw very few trees in that 10 mile run that didn't have some sort
of damage.

Have seen utility trucks from Tenn. and Louisiana so I'm sure they will all
get things back up ASAP.  Fortunate here to have had all services
back on since Tuesday afternoon.  Small things like electricity and
phone lines aren't appreciated until they disappear!
