They are safe!

Thanks for letting us know!
Hope all is well and stays well for them!

Man oh Man. We have water where there has never been water.
Many, many homes have been destroyed and many more have been inundated. It just breaks your heart to see what people have worked for to be gone so completely and so quickly.
I just heard some of the shelters have filled. That never happened before. People just have no where to go.
I have begun to clean up. We can get to the main road now. Two decades of taming a .5 mile long drive with three creek crossing has been horribly set back. But with a tempered view, we are blessed to have only drive way damage.
The worst is yet to come for many people as the Cumberland River continues to reject the water heading its way. Some rivers will not crest for at least 24hrs.
Take care,
Steve

 

Thanks,
Things are still getting worse. The rivers have yet to crest. Lots of crazy damage going on.
Areas that were never in the flood plan are under water.
Things should recede in the next few days. Lots of bugs, mold and nasty, nasty clean up. We are on a 7:00 to 7:00 curfew.
Some of my friends have lost their homes. The swift water rescues have topped 1000.
16"+ of rain in 2 days... That seems like enough...

 

The stories on the news keep getting worse so I imagine your blessing count keeps rising. We'll hold a positive thought for you and yours.

Thanks, I just talked to a friend. He lost his business. He has three outlets and one is destroyed. We are months and months away from normalcy. It just want go away. If you go online to the Tennessean..our local newspaper, the pictures are just breath taking. The Opryland Hotel may be closed til Christmas. My company has survived and will likely profit as our control systems in the larger buildings are replaced. Some calls have begun to come in.
We will survive. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
