More Flooding and Storm News

via Michael Silence
I can’t begin to fathom what the folks down in Alabama are going through. I’ve been in and around my fair share of tornadoes, having grown up in the delta, but this kind of devastation is just hard to get a handle on.

Obviously, thoughts and prayers go out to the folks who find themselves the victim of mother nature’s wrath.

If you want to help, I suggest donating to the Red Cross. They’ve set up a page about their relief efforts in the affected areas.

While West Tennessee was spared the kind of damage they saw in and around Tuscaloosa, AL, the possibility of flooding is still very real as the Mississippi River rises to levels not seen since the 1930’s.

Below is a quick roundup of the news from West Tennessee on the potential for flooding.
