In about 30 minutes, Monday's storm swept across Chattanooga/Hamilton County leaving behind 40,000 people without power. 60-70 mph winds blame for much of the trees and power lines that fell on top of houses and covered busy streets. Around the county, Emergency Service personnel spent the afternoon and into the evening answering emergency calls. 
 
Res-Q-Jack struts were used to stabilize the pictured home and rescue a man trapped inside after a huge tree fell on the house, splitting it in two.
