Busy in Tennessee!

Not sure how many of you have heard about the fires in TN, or how many are familiar with Dollywood and Gatlinburg. Bad mess over there in East Tennessee! Between the tinder dry and the high winds the area is a disaster area. I sympathize with those who lost family and their homes on Monday.

Then too, we had tornadoes rip through a swath of MS, AL, and TN, last night. It was one wild ride. 5 people were killed. I think there were 23 tornadoes reported. Lots of damage. I was in the watch zone, but I didn't feel the danger I often do - nothing was that close. There are times when I wish I had an underground shelter though.

I hope this bad stuff doesn't deter visitors. Tennessee is a beautiful state and we're tough folk here. Prayers and good vibes are welcomed here at this time. Check the net for areas most desperately in need of your concern.

We Got Rain!

It looks like we have some dirty work ahead, even with the splash thing-a-ma-bobs the water is too close to the foundation.

It wasn't raining heavy when I took the pictures - I was hanging out of the window. :-) We did get our rain though - a real good soaking rain!

As seen in The Wayne County News

We could really use some good ground seeping rain around here!

It's really a shame that we don't get this channel. I'd like to see what all they have to say. An awful lot of crazy people live around here!
