[Think free or die]

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!

You are lucky! We were in Atlanta for a Braves game and could not get further than Manchester on Sunday night. Coming home on 24W Monday morning was a bit dicey. LOTS and lots of flood debris everywhere! 40W was still closed at that time.
Good luck out there, I did hear about the levees in your area. Close call!

Why is no one putting this out Nationally?

Oh yeah it would take away from the ‘all Obama all the time’ crap.
