Re: T.S. DENNIS visits TN

No kidding.  How about a metal building full of paper products and a
motor home w/ a full 50 gallon gas tank??  Oh yeah. There were trees
and power lines down all over town, and neither Kemp nor Terrell (10
miles N & S) got touched.  Weird.  I had to leave the car and hike
about 3/4 mile to get there.   Bar ditches were flooded and we didn't
get a drop.  How fickle.
