Well, here's the Readers' Digest version....
Thursday evening [July5th], we had a terrible storm of winds come through. We had just finished dinner and were out in the garage trying out a new grain mill. We purchased a manual one... just in case we were ever without power!
Eddie realized the storm was coming from the North- which always means bad news. We quickly began to put things away and get things indoors... like the golf cart. The kids were of course scared. The wind was horrible!
By the time we got indoors we had already lost electricity. Friday we took a trip to Knoxville with Eddie to get his iPhone repaired and hung out at the mall. Still no electricity.
So I called the Comfort Inn and got us a room. At 9:00 PM our house was 95 degrees.
The kids felt like we were on a vacation! Thankfully, we had electricity again on Saturday.
Passed these trucks on our way home from Knoxville Friday evening. Wondered if they were on their way to help.
