Tornadoes in North MS

Can you believe this many folks still don't have power?

The tornadoes that hit the region earlier this week left 679,000 TVA customers without power. On Saturday afternoon, that number had dropped to 477,000, but Chief Operating Officer Bill McCollum said it could be mid-next week before a majority of those have power again.

Actually, yes. The storm damage was so widespread that work crews are stretched thin. Usully there is extra manpower to direct to the affected areas. This time everyone is scattered out.

Another problem is that often there isn't enough (or any) house left to tie on to.

So horrible.
