0bama doesn’t care.
I am so sorry for this tragedy.
Prayers lifted!
New article..
Thanks sweetie...
God bless you
We have some very high pressure here right now...
Its suppose to reach here tonight...
Yeah, just ask the good people of Mississippi. Last weekend’s tornado cut a 149-mile path of death and destruction across the state, and the Annointed One can’t be bothered.
BTW, that tornado’s “path” was the second-longest in U.S. history according to Dr. Greg Forbes at the Weather Channel. It ranks only behind the Great Tri-State Tornado of 1925, which had a continuous path of more than 200 miles in length.
But don’t look for Barry to visit Yazoo City anytime soon. The message is clear; if you’re in a Red State (and affected by a natural disaster), the President won’t stop by unless it becomes politically necessary (see today’s visit to Louisiana).
We only had six inshes water coming in the back sliding doors and bailing out the front doors.
Where is that ???
My 16 yr. old daughter and her high school band were trying to get home today from Kings Island in Cincinnati OH and made it as far as Bowling Green KY where they will be making an emergency overnight stop. Hopefully they will make it home tomorrow. Only route I found to go East of Nashville was about 7 hours here to Hazel Green AL. Rather them be safe than sorry. Too dangerous and those tour buses must travel four lane highways or interstate with passengers.
I haven’t heard Zero make any comments about the tornadoes that hit Mississippi and Alabama last weekend and I heard last night that Arkansas had 11 tornado warnings going at the same time statewide.
I don’t expect him to make any comments about the flooding and deaths in Tennessee either.
Prayers for all those involved.
Kings Island the theme park ???
I’ve been there...
My dau used to live in Hamilton,... Butler county...
I hope they just stay put in Kentucky...
I.m going to stay up tonight as long as I have power and report whats happing around here...
Good luck, Nana—I hope it doesn’t reach your house!
I’m so sorry, Ingtar. Is the floodwater still there, or has it retreated? Are you at home, or posting from somewhere else?
Memphis/Bartlett. The drainage system here could not handle the rate the rain was falling. I get new carpet at least... LOL
We have a nice picture of the water 6 inches above the inside floor - which is four or five inches above the level of the patio outside.
Yes that is where they went. I’ve about decided the band trips are jinxed. First year to FL that had the raging wildfires and traffic and detours on way home, last year they got about an hour out of town heading to Orlando again and were called back due to Swine Flu outbreak in a panic by the administration (then kids were out of school and many, not mine, all headed to mall, so much for containment) and this year the flooding.
I hope tomorrows light brings sunshine and receding waters all across TN and those that were affected can start to recover.
Another band Mom has son stranded on this trip in KY and can’t get home and her poor husband is stranded in Memphis and works for Army Corp of Engineers and they had to be evacuated yesterday and abandoned his truck at the building so it is probably GONE, but at least he is safe but who knows when he’ll make it back home.
I’m in my dried out corner of the kitchen. Once they got the carpet ripped out, we managed to dry things out mostly. I still have a couple things to move and clean under/behind.
They fixed ours afew years ago...
But i dont know if our roads can handle this...
I’m near Chattanooga
We use to live in Millington, TN when my hubby was stationed at the Naval Base. Can’t remember the street we lived on though, just remember it wasn’t to far to go to see Elvis house. God bless to everyone.
What a mess!!!! God bless!!!
I took 3 elderly ladies to see Gracelands a couple of years ago...
They dont drive any more but they like to go every few years...
They are REAL fans
:)
I got us into the Heartbreak Hotel...
Elvis movies play 24/7 on the TV...
They thought they had died and gone to Heaven...
LOL
It was fun though because they knew everything there was to know about him...
