I dont think people realize that Middle TN and the Millington/Jackson,TN areas are in such dire straits!

God Bless You and everyone over there!

Madison County was hit very hard, as was Carroll County. Our relatives told us that the hospital in Milan was flooded and they needed to evacuate patients. They were unable to evacuate them to Huntingdon, because it was completely cut off due to flooded roads. I read that on Saturday evening, the only road out of Madison County was Rt 412 (toward Dyersburg). We got out of Jackson Saturday morning on Rt 412, and it was in bad shape already at 7:30, with a lot more rain yet to come.

My husband told me that two out of three levees broke in the area of Spring Creek. Had the third one gone, our relatives in Lavinia would have had major flooding. They're on a bit of a rise, and they were OK when we last spoke with them Sunday. I'm not sure about their son in the Nashville area though. He may have property damage. I'll feel better when I hear for sure . . .

We went to the Jackson area to tidy up and decorate family graves for Decoration Day on Sunday. So much for that idea!

All the attention has been on Nashville. 52 Counties in TN were effected by this storm system. Dyersberg is in bad shape too. Not to mention those poor folks in AR and MS. They had twisters on top of the flooding.
