On February 3rd, a storm that started with freezing rain caused widespread tree damage and power outages across Lakeland, Tennessee. A Lake District developer, claims 192 trees were damaged or destroyed during the storm. He estimates $300,000 in damages and losses. Even the 75-foot flag pole on the Lake District property suffered damages when the flag froze, became too heavy for the pole, and started to bend the pole.
Many of the Lakeland residents have also had to endure power outages. Most of the homes lost power at some point during the storm. With temperatures rising back up, the snow is expected to melt away soon. Although the snow and ice will be gone, the damages from the storm will remain.
