I got caught in this mess myself. I had abandoned my vehicle and I was going to wade through the water to get where I needed to go. Then we spotted a guy doing the same thing we were going to do and we watched him to see how difficult it would be. He was over half way across a very wide flood area when he was swept away, one of the five dead so far. We turned back and took shelter at a nearby hotel. We made it home this morning, just in time as the rains are starting up again. We’re safe now. Prayers to all those affected by this flood.

Happy to hear you are safe. Rushing waters don’t have to be deep to knock you off your feet and sweep you away, you made the right choice.

So glad to hear you are safe. We are just a little south of Nashville on the TN-AL state line area and slightly east of I-65 by about 10 miles. Y’all definitely got the worst of it, we had a little rain, thunder & lightening. Take Care.

My daughter is at the horseshow at Brownland. They evacuated her horse this morning. Her tack trunk is gone, and we fear also the 3-horse gooseneck. 5 ft of water on the showgrounds. We are so worried about her.
