[Wednesday: 3 miles, Thursday: 3 miles, Today: rest]
On my run Wednesday I went down Watson road, just to the east of us. There was a lot more damage over there. And there was a conglomeration of TVA work trucks. They were driving through the fields to the east and working on a high power line that was damaged by the storm.
Watson Road itself was open almost to the end. There were a lot of tree parts on both sides of the road. I think the TVA guys probably had to clear a path to get in. I had to turn around about 200 feet from the end.
I ran the same way on Thursday. A man at a house was out putting in a new mailbox. A tree had fallen on his old one. He told me his power was finally back on. The power company had needed to replace a broken pole to get service restored.
Here’s what it looks like across the road from his new mailbox.
So, while our neighborhood didn’t show much damage, just half a mile to the southeast was a different story.
