Some LCUB linemen were telling me a story about how they had to do some line work a few poles down from John Ward's home. Said Ward was a real jerk and complaining about the power being out. Changed their entire opinion of him the way he behaved that day.
Yeah, it was definitely more than a power pole. The one LCUB guy I spoke to said it wasn't just their problem and had something today with TVA as well. The businesses on Cedar Bluff were even out.
