Worst straight line storm I have ever seen!

I live outside Memphis Tn and we had a horrible storm a few hours ago. There are several cities that have absolutely no electricity at all and I have never seen so many trees struck by lightning. I have no electricity and no one in my neighborhood or city does either. Of course I will lose all the food in my refrigerator and I have no idea when electricity will be restored since it looks like the whole state is out. Wonder where I will get some food if all the stores are shut down?

Hope you have your electricity back on by now.

@Canuckle unfortunately no. They say it will be 3 days or more

@Mardrae oh wow! That really sucks! Peanut butter, honey and bread would be my staple over the next few days. I hope your fridge will stay cool enough.

@Canuckle it’s already melted unfortunately. I work in a grocery store that has a hot bar and salad bar so I can always eat at work. I’m just off today and bought my groceries before the storm hit so I didn’t know my area was hit so hard.

@Mardrae I wonder if that’s the same storm that came through Indiana yesterday. There were tornado warnings yesterday. I’m glad you have a place to eat if need be.
