We are drenched here in Tennessee--flooding, tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms. There were two fatalities just 20 minutes from where we live--a neighbor was helping someone get their truck out of the water. Two people were swept away. The driver survived.
In 1968 my mother's house was swept off its foundation by flooding. We were in Nashville at the time and there was no communication available. The Red Cross was so good to her. I do not know how she got through it all. The same area I grew up in was flooded again last night.
