Tornado Warning

With twisters spotted around town yesterday, many people wisely took cover. MLGW's downtown employees were evacuated to an underground parking garage to wait out the severe weather. Many of us gradually made our way up a level so that we could use our cellphones and PDAs to get news of our friends & families, as well as our fellow Memphians.

Weathering the storm is just the beginning for MLGW employees. As we all stood there waiting for the winds to die down, we knew that there would be outages and damage to repair, and that our customers would need information. Even though it was 5:00pm, our workday was just beginning.
