Water, Water, Everywhere

Flooding update....
It continues to rain, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency are saying this is the worst flooding since back in the 1970's....
Schools are closed, authorities are telling everyone to stay home, we've had eight storm related deaths in the State, extensive flooding, and two tornado touchdowns.

We have been hammered !

Back of the property.

Looking more like a lake, than a stream.


Thank you for all of the well-wishes, they are truly appreciated !
It's an official thirteen inches of rainfall in the last 24 hours, that's a LOT of water.....
The creeks are flooded, the Interstates are closed at various points, and homes have been evacuated.
Our home is NOT flooded, other than the back of the property, where the creek runs through.
My heart goes out, to those whose homes are, such a daunting task lays ahead.


The skies are still heavily laden with clouds, more rain is predicted all day today, together with tornado activity.


The Clematis is happy at least.


Town square still flooded.


My granddaughter's best friend's yard.

Granddaughter's best friend's four foot swimming pool, completely covered their fish pond also !

Floatin' Down The Creek

As predicted we have been deluged with rain the entire day. Flooding, Interstates closed down, tornado watches and warnings.
It's to continue into the night and most of tomorrow !
On the nightly news, it showed footage of folks stranded on the flooded Interstates, abandoning their vehicles, and swimming for safety.......isn't that unbelievable?

On my way home from work, I came through the town center, we have a 'square' right in the middle of town with the town creek running alongside.
Within thirty minutes of traveling around the square, the creek spilled it's banks and flooded the whole square, businesses, parked cars, antique shops, anything in it's way.

It's the same all over town, the park is one huge lake, car lots with vehicles up to their rooftops in muddy water.

Mr. Dylan hit the nail on the head , "The Times They Are A-Changin ".........
