    Exclamation Folks without power


    There are a lot of people without power and need our prayers. Our Wal-mart in dyersburg ran out of water today because people without power were trying to stock up. I hear some folks could be without power for 2 to 3 days. We hauled 180 cases of Aquafina water out there around 3 pm today and it was gone in 10 minutes. Lets all keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

    We have been without electricity since early Tuesday morning. It looks like a bomb has been dropped here, but I am very fortunate that we were prepared(stocked op on propane and gasoline). There are several familys that were not so fortunate (no heat or water) and lots of damage.

    I know what you mean. We were without power 2 weeks a few years back when an ice storm hit here. Right after that I went out & bought the gas burning logs. Hard to keep wood fire going & keep it hot enough.

    Its been 4 days now but feels like 4 weeks. Good news is that I still have plenty of crappie frozen and I also saw a few street lights working on the other side of town when I was on my way to work tonight. I can tell peoples fuses are getting a little shorter but I think most are making it ok.
