Stay safe fellow Tennesseans....
...and don't travel unless you have to.

For those who don't know, there are major floods happening here, and tornadoes.

2. Thanks babylonsister. All I can think about are my kids...
...which are my cats. I've worked up a million contingency plans on how I can evacuate them.

5. Are you that low/close to water? I hope not, and hope it's a 'high tide'
that will recede soon. I used to live in Houston, and it flooded there a lot, but dissipated pretty quickly once it stopped raining.

6. It's supposed to rain until Monday. The ground is saturated....
...I live about one mile from the Cumberland River, which is a major river.

This could turn into a natural/national disaster. I-24, the main artery from Nashville to Atlanta, to the rest of the Southeast, is cut off and under water. Trucks are at a standstill.

9. and also travelers who are stuck in Tennessee
I know a few people traveling across the country who wound up stuck in Tennessee last night because all the roads were closed.

Stay safe, Tennessee!

10. Catastrophic flooding
Edited on Sat May-01-10 09:11 PM by MzShellG
There are 5 dead due to the flooding. My bro's apartment flooded in Nashville. He salvaged some of his belongings & evacuated to a hotel.
