I don’t believe it will be like NO. The folks in this part of Tennessee are very religious. You can’t swing a cat without hitting a Baptist Church. The people are known for reaching out and helping one another.

The other thing is that the river will not crest at Memphis until Wednesday, so there is plenty of time for planning and evacuations.

And lastly, the Emergency Management Agencies seem to have a handle on what they have to do.

Wow. If you think New Orleans is not a religious city, it shows how little you know.

I agree with you. Memphis is similar to NO demographically
but worlds away in the mindset of it's citizens. The old
adage “God helps those who help themselves” is not completely erased by dependence on govt. handouts yet.
It's looking pretty bad for the people there and my prayers go out to them.
