Stay safe cutting fallen limbs/trees.

Not sure about there but Memphis avoided most all the freezing rain.

Lots of sleet though.

North MS is very bad.

Town I grew up in in NE MS the county electric has 100% of their customers without power.
County west, where my farm is has 95% without power.

It’s that way across north MS. Crews can’t work either because of falling limbs.

Yeah, as the day has gone on I've seen more limbs falling. It's generally a good idea to familiarize oneself with the types of wires going to the house too.

Not saying you should approach any downed wires, but it helps to understand what you're dealing with. There's likely to be a lot of communication lines getting pulled out of siding and whatnot.

If it's not broken and just sagging/laying on the ground, they'll probably come reattach it without a huge expense. If it's a tree that caused it, probably will want to get that addressed first.

I'm an early riser and let my dogs out to do their business. About 30 mins later, my neighbor calls me and says a tree in my backyard was on fire. I thought she was joking - well one of the primary wires had come undone and was literally zapping my tree as well as her trees as well.

Not sure how my dogs didn't die, but they were lucky that day. Be safe all

When I was working hospital was crazy how many people came in with chainsaw injuries.
The most common was cut across front of leg right above the knee.Occasionally they would hit the kneecap.
