Our network admin's house, Marlon Williamson who is active on these lists, was completely demolished with him and his family inside. I went by there today and it looks like a war zone. Complete destruction a half mile in each direction with what was his house in the middle. Across the road some people were found dead lying in a church parking lot and nearby field. A Sara Lee truck pulled up today in a small town called Henagar at the 4 way stop, opened the 18 wheeler doors, and you would've thought it was a third world country watching the people rush to get bread.
Somehow our network was left unscathed. I drove to most of our sites today, all in tact. One water tank may have some lightning damage in the cabinet but not much it seems. We were truly blessed. We've been without power for over 24 hours. All of N. Alabama is without power. People are lining up at gas stations thinking the power is going to come on but the TVA has given a best case scenario of 5 days. Judging from the damage I've seen, it will be more like 2 weeks. High Voltage lines have been twisted and blown over like pretzels all over the county. Jay, I haven't had time to read any emails, but if I can be of assistance I will try. I am kind of a one man show at this point with all my employees tending to their families. Water has been cut off in most homes across the county. Its almost unbelievable what is transpiring. It could get ugly quick. Regards, John M.
