My SIL is in FL helping her parents get ready to move back up here to MI. Aside, OH JOY! Anyways, if a friend had not moved her car for her, it would have been underwater and ruined. Thank goodness for friends. They are in my prayers.

Interstate 40 was closed in both directions. Water seems to be the main problem as it is unsafe to drink. Red Cross is doing a great job. Thanks for your concern and prayers.....
I am in west TN and I was the one giving all of the updates and so forth in our part of TN but my place in middle TN looks like it survived great but the folks in the hollers did not fare so well. Hoenwald, TN had most of their bridges over the creeks and the Buffalo river washed away I think Hickman County got hit pretty hard also. I am going to Nashville tomorrow morning and I am going to try to get to Linden on my way back home and see my nephew and his family. They said the Church down the road from them was washed off of its foundation and the water was about 3" from coming into their home. Perry county is supposed to be deciding to close the school year out right now because 7 of the 10 buses were washed away and totaled. That and the fact that the county is still half underwater. The family down the road from me in one of the hollers her son and grand daughter were washed away in the flood waters from the creek you have to drive through to get to my land. Their bodies were found a mile or so down the creek yesterday or the day before. I am lucky, I own 100 acres and its on two ridges so I was high and dry!! If I think I can get to my place I will drop my 40' trailer at my nephews and drive up there and check on it. I hate to have to back that behemoth down some winding road because I can not go over a missing bridge or something. And the roads around there you have 300 ft drop offs on one side and a huge hill on the other. I just hope that everyone here and their extended families are safe and sound tonite. If not just remember to look to the Lord for your needs, he will always provide for you!! Everyone of you are in my families prayers. Billy |
