| Not a working powerline within 10 miles. No gas stations working. Waffel House takeout and cash only. Lowes sold out of generators. Power lines down for miles. Water plants running off emergency power, 36 hr reserve fuel. Loosing about $1200 food and meat. Damage everywhere. Many roads closed but the southerns are opening the roads and removing the trees themselves. |

| #7 ...and cash only. All of the ATM and credit cards in the world mean nothing when the systems are down. I recall when Puerto Rico got nailed twice within several days some years ago. Yeah, ATM machines were down. And these globalists want a digital currency. Wait until an adversary *really* goes after the grid and/or the financial networks. |

| #3 The high winds started here this morning around 6:00 AM with very heavy rain. This is northeast Tennessee. I have had over 7" of rain since Tuesday with a tornado about 15 miles to the east. Lots of trees down with massive flooding in low areas. I lost lots of shingles and there are leaks all over the house. The power went out shortly after 9:00 AM and came back on about 45 minutes ago. But there are no deaths and nowhere near the devastation in Florida and Georgia. |
