Oh my God...

First...we are ok.

We have been without power since early Friday. It is just returning now at 9:50 Saturday night. Where do I start...

We were lucky...a Tornado made a path through here not less than a 3/4 of a mile from our house. Some major damage has happened around here. Homes are minus roofs and some are totally destroyed. Trees are down everywhere. Telephone poles snapped in half.

In Hendersonville... 8 confirmed dead from the tornado. Gallatin, just up the road also had some major damage. This was a nightmare in the daytime...it took me almost 2 and a half hours to get home Friday, which normally only takes 45 mins.

We cleaned out the refrigerator this morning because they said the sub-station would be down a week... but here we are, back on the air in one piece...Thank God. This could be a rough spring for Tennessee, so far it ain't looking good...

Thank God y'all were safe. It took my husband almost 3 hours to get home that day, too... and the day after. it's usually a 45min-60min commute from Nashville.
