@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW We were in the process of moving. Lost power at old house. Then found out no power at the new house either. 3 kids. No furniture at new house where there was at least gas logs. We slept on the floor. Thank goodness for the radio jocks who worked tirelessly to get the info out.
@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW @DeliaBa21 I hope it never comes back,we will always remember, IceStorm94 ,it left a scar that will never be erase.🙁
@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW I was literally just talking with my mom about the ice storm, were there any fatalities associated with it?
@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW It was a terrible nightmare back then.
@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW And, in 9 months there will be a run on “Happy 25th Birthday” cards! I remember the OB unit at Methodist Central was overflowing that fall!!
@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW Wrong, my Grandmother didn’t have power for 4 months!!
@MemphoNewsLady @MLGW I remember it well.....we had just moved into a house with a tree filled yard and I stood at the door in tears watching and listening to breaking limbs and crashes for hours..but we had a fireplace so my parents and a neighbor camped out in our den for a couple of weeks!😬😖
