Wagner was worried about the Ohio and Tennessee River valleys as the places where the three nasty storm systems could meet, probably with snow, thunderstorms, severe ice storms and flooding. Some of those areas already are flooded.

It's flooded here (SE Ohio Valley) since it's been raining for two days...and the really big storm hasn't hit yet.

Wonerful...

I sit on a ledge in a big forest overlooking a small creek, except now it's a raging river. This is big time to us. We will likely lose power and be unable to leave (or enter) our homes. These floods are new to us since they began in 1998, but not before. A 100-year flood has occurred four times this summer. Another, the fifth this year, one is occurring as I type. By tomorrow morning I will not be able to leave this place---except by heliocopter.

Be safe. I spent time in Marietta and I know what kind of flooding you're talking about! Up here in the NE corner, we're just waiting for Lake Erie to freeze over so we won't have to worry about lake effect snow. I've survived lots of blizzards and ice storms so this one desn't worry me. Ice storms are spooky though; the sound of branches breaking during the night can sound like gun shots.

You might want to battend down your house and move to a safer area? No?
