I remember the wooden utility poles snapped like a match stick and metal poles bent like a paper clip. I live in the High Point Terrace neighborhood and we didn't have power for 14 days; however, I had floor furnaces which were a blessing. No TV or internet for 2 weeks! A utility crew from Knoxville worked in our neighborfhood. It took the city 3 months or longer to remove the limbs and brush from the curb. I remember the storm well.

As I was telling him, the biggest thing that stands out in my mind was waking up to the sound of tree limbs crashing to the ground. It looked and sounded like a war zone. Very creepy...
