Flyers999, remember it well ! That next morning, when those HUGE over head traffic signals in the villages (Belvidere & 466 for one) were still in the street, just too much to clean up immediately, and we reached 441 to turn south and check on some friends in Ladylake and the scene was like a nuclear attack ! NOTHING, absolutely nothing, trees looked like a forest AFTER a major forest fire, church on left gone, no sign of it... a real horror show !
