[Leica] IMG: Awaiting Ida

[Jim Nichols]

After having spent yesterday watching television coverage of Ida's 
arrival at New Orleans and coverage of their preparations, provided by 
Station WWL in New Orleans, I awoke today to find the cloud cover has 
reached Tennessee and the path is expected to pass over us tomorrow.  I 
understand that power could be out for some time in NOLA because of 
major damage to their power system. This was on my mind as I looked up 
at the pole that sits in my side yard, as a part of the main 
distribution of power and communications to  the west side of 
Tullahoma.  The poles in NOLA seemed to be of a similar configuration, 
and suffered damage, but their biggest problem was the loss of  eight 
major transmission lines.

On the cloudy day, the most impressive flora of the day was this 
Honeysuckle vine climbing on the rhododendron bushes.
