Very sad Chains, just makes me want to help in someway but only time will heal this!

You are right, the trauma these people have gone through mentally is amazing.  I went and gave blood today but it sure doesn't seem like much. I will have to say though the people of Alabama are out in droves giving blood.   


Problem is around here with all the looting going on you will get arrested if you don't have an arm band from the local police, so it is hard to go in to a neighborhood and try to help.  It is hard to believe that people stoop so low to prey on others misfortunes.

That's absolutely a miracle ! 3 football fields in the air and to survive it. God Bless them! Please let them know they are in our prayers.

Looting is :  stealing others property that is a result of a catastrophic disaster! Human Vultures!

This one on youtube touched down 1 mile from our house as the crow flies.  I would not have wanted to be videoing it.

Not complaining here, as I feel blessed compared to the people who took direct hits in Alabama, but, this flooding is getting ridiculous. ReelFoot lake had another 4" of rain yesterday. I've made a couple of trips there this past weekend, just to keep an eye on water levels. I'll probably go back today, just because of the additional rain.

Drove to Hickman Ky Saturday, and the tug boat pushing the barges full of explosives to bird point Mo. was in the harbor. Weird feeling to look UP at the bottom of the barge, 20' over a city street. State troopers, Corps of Engineers, and military vehicles guarding the levee system. The levees we live and work around daily, but take for granted. If some of these levees were to blow, it would wipe out hundreds of thousands of homes, & dozens of small towns. Dump trucks hauling rock and sand 24/7 reinforcing the levees. Just makes everyone feel a little bit vunerable.

They're supposed to blow a levee near Cairo Ill today about 1:00 PM. Designed as the New Madrid Floodway, just for a high water event such as this. I hope they know what they're doing.

Watched a report last night on that proposal, Ken.  Though it might ruin some farmland for a while, the alternative is worse.  Hope it all works, and hope your new place on the lake is safe and sound.
