Thursday morning the storm had passed and the winds abated, an absolutely beautiful day arrived in East Tennessee. Wednesday’s storms had, thankfully, passed overhead leaving lots of rain, wind, a bit of hail and shredded leaves but not much damage here in Tellico Village.
On our morning walk around the neighborhood, Mary carried a trash bag and we began picking up bits of debris along the golf course – pieces of tarpaper, a shingle or two, some broken slats and some disturbing pieces of checks and newspapers with Alabama and Georgia addresses on them. Tuscaloosa and Birmingham were most common but we are over 200 miles from Birmingham and nearly 300 from Tuscaloosa. Our storm Wednesday night had dropped tornado debris about 6 hours after having sucked it up 300 miles away.
Imagine the power and the pain and the suffering of those who were hit by the full force of such a storm.
Send your thoughts, prayers and help, please.
