Rick, I didn't have Glass Master's # with me, so after I talked to you I went on by there figuring I could maybe get their # off the door . . . they were opened back up.  The lady in the office said they were locking up and about to leave for the day when the power came back on, so they opened back up after lunch.  They took my truck in as soon as I got there and were done with it a half hour before it was scheduled to start.  Good thing . . . I got home about 5 minutes before the mayhem broke out here.  But we too were lucky.  We had lots of high winds, but really didn't get that much rain, no hail, never lost power . . . and that limb is STILL hanging in my pecan tree.

Cindy and I are ok. Lost power last night and it still out, but no damage at our house. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who suffered so much damage.

We were lucky .  Big time wind and rain. I think they said 65-70 mph at my house but no damage. Loss power 3:00 pm , back on 11:00 pm.  I have lived here all my life and never have seen this happen here.

Cleveland took a massive pounding. had to get out lastnight and get a friends sister in south Cleveland. upon arrival it was obvious a tornado had swept through the neighborhood.5 houses( hers included) were completely gone. I mean nothing but a dirt patch left. It looked like the neighborhood had exploded. Kim and the children are going to the Red Cross to help volunteer today. Hopefully the children can grasp the magnitude of what transpired.

Power out from 11:30 till 8:30 this morning.
Lots of debris and limbs around.
Had to get creative this morning getting to Chickamauga from Varnell.
Interstate was sitting still.
Went around the back side of Ringgold and at the intersection of 3 notch and Peavine there were power poles snapped in 1/2 with the tops just hanging.
I cannot imagine what Ringgold is going through.

Been helping out at the Ringgold Telephone Company all weekend. Our warehouse has been used for taking donations of food and supplies. I've been loading/unloading and bussing it out to churches, who are getting it distributed to those in need.

I drove through downtown Ringgold for the first time today since the storm, and the devastation is unreal. The pics/videos getting out don't compare to seeing it in person.

It was open yesterday afternoon at 2 pm.
