them to believe that a tornado
may have sailed over the area.
Heavy hail was also reported in
some areas, he said.
Boyce Dooley of Clear-Vu
Cable TV Co. said the firm's
more than 4,000 customers
were without service at one
point due to power failures. His
crews set up truck-driven por
table generators to power parts
of the system after the storm
hit, but had to call it quits
| around 10:30 i.m. Sunday
] because the trucks were runn
ing out of fuel.
; “We got hit pretty bad,"”
| Dooley said of the storm. The
‘ most cable damage was in the
north and western parts of the
city, he said. A number of lines
was broken or torn loose bgl
| falling trees and limbs, he said.
| The company hoped to have all
| service restored by today,
| Dooley added.
‘\ Total damage will probably
| amount to around $30,000 he
| indicated.
: Fifty-six customers were
| still without phone service at
| one i)oint Monday, said G. C.
| Pickle of General Telephone
| Co. Broken lines or lightning
| strikes counted for most of the
[ damage, he indicated, and
around 250 customers were
‘ without phone service just
after the storm hit Sunday.
Work crews stayed on the job
until dark Sumf;y and began
working again early Mondgay.

l CITY CREWS
' Summerville City Manager
Grady McCalmon said nine ci
ty employees were called to
work Sunday afternoon after
the storm. d’sing chain saws,
backhoes, trucks and sheer
muscle power, they cleared
numerous city streets of fallen
trees and limbs, McCalmon
said. Cleanup was still under
way Wednesday although vir
tually all streets were passable
by dark Sunda{.
One difficulty city work
crews had in getting from one
trouble spot to another,
McCalmon said, was heavy
traffic. Sightseers jammed
local streets, particularly
North Commerce Street.
“They hadn't seen rain in a
long time,” he said. *‘lt was like
the first snow."
Trees were blown across
South Penn Street, Highland
Avenue, East Fourth gtreet.
College Street, Northwest Con
gress Street and Congress
treet and limbs littered
numerous streets. Quite a few
property owners lost trees dur
ing the storm.
Several trees were blown
down in Summerville Cemetery
and at least one funeral was
delayed due to the blocked
entry.
LIGHT RAIN
Although the storm was
fierce, it helped the local
drought situation only a little,
if at all. Ralph Wil{ingham.
Back Berryton Road, recorded
only .85 inch of rain Sunday.
Bilf; Kilgore, 310 Peach St.,
Trion, recorded 1.7 inches of
rain, although the storm didn’t
lash that town.
“It sounded like a train
coming,”’ said Ada McGuire,
15 Woodland Ave., as she
surveyed a tree that had been
blown on top of a utility line in
front of her house.
Lorene Taylor, 12
Woodland Ave., was still a bit
shaky as she studied the tree
that {ad been blown on top of
her house. Although she was
inside at the time o% the storm,
she didn't hear the tree hit the
house, she added.
“I heard a sound like a .38
glistol shooting,” said Sammy
amby Jr. as he looked at
damage along Ramey Street
Sunday. He was in Dowdy
Mobile Home Park when the
storm hit, Hamby said. One
mobile home was blown off its
foundation, breaking a water
line, he said.
“We were standing on the
porch watching the wind and
rain and we decided to get in
the house,”” said Donna Wilson,
101 Mitchell St. ““You couldn’t
see that house across the
street; all you could see was
wind and rain. We got in the
house and drew up in a corner.
All you could Eear was a
roar . .. and it was scary.”
Her husband, Robert, was
busy with a chain saw Sunday
afternoon, working on a huge
limb that had been blown of? a
tree into his yard.
Nell Lankford, Donna's
mother, said, ‘I was glad they
moved in with me. I've lived
here 12 years by myself and I
was glaX they moved in. They
were in the door and I pulled

the FBI!
These facts lead to the inescapable con
clusion that we are essentially defenseless
in ferreting out the terrorists in our midst.
We will remain so until the American pec-
them back in and got in the cor
ner."
WASHING HOUSE
Nancy Hatcher, McKenzie
Street, was washinithe leaves
and debris off her house Sun
day afternoon after the storm
while her husband, J. C., was
using a chain saw to remove a
fallen tree from across their
hillto drivewag.
"\Ee had a bad time,"” she
said. ‘‘We were watching the
ball game and it started
thunderi‘x;g and lightning. 1
just pulled a curtain back and
iooked out and then I looked
out the front door and told
J. C., ‘Come here and look!" It
sounded like it was hailing but
I looked out and didn't see
any."
“The wind had just started
blowing real hard and I ran
through (the house) to shut the
windows in the breakfast room
and I thought I saw somethin
but I thought, ‘surely not,’ ancgi
I ran baci througfi to shut
some more windows,"’ said Bet
w Hawkins, 903 W.
ashington St. **And I looked
out again and I said
‘Charles!” ' The storm had
blown the top out of a huge
tree and onto their garage.
Mrs. Hawkins said her hus
band cut off some of the limbs
so the weight wouldn't cause a
shed over a 1965 Mustang to
collapse.
V&?hen it started, ‘lt felt kin
da like a vacuum,”” Mrs.
Hawkins said, although she
didn't hear a roar.
CAR BURIED
Jimmy Johnson, East
Fourth Street, found his Trans-
Am buried beneath a huge tree
Sunday afternoon. ‘‘Really, I
didn’t even know it had hap
pened,’” he said. ‘lt got to hail
ing and I didn’t know about it
until somebodf/ said, ‘a tree fell
on J'our car.’ I said whose car,
and they said ‘your car,’” and I
said, my car!”
“It was like a tornado,”
said Roosevelt Richardson Sr.,
as he sat on the porch of an
East Fourth Street house after
the storm.
“It sounded like a twister in
the air,’”’ said Harriet
Goodgame, 30 East Fourth St.,
‘... The lightning was awful.”
Ruth Noel McGuire, Lewis
Street, was concerned about
two baby birds killed in the
storm w%en they were blown
out of their nest.”
