Effective 08/15/03 at 12:00 HRS Local... Most of Blount County is without power. County seat is Maryville, TN. The outage began about 12:00 PM. No 'official' explanation has been forthcoming. A rumor flying around locally is that a squirrel shorted the Alcoa sub-station. Oh...those naughty rodents. (-:
Yours truly still has power with the diesel generator on standby.
Later...
