We weren't prepared for this.
But not Floods...
Someone told me that it has been 500 years since it has flooded this badly.
My Hubby and I drove to our hometown yesterday to see how it was looking. 
This photo was taken on the corner of Airways Blvd and Hwy 45S in Jackson. New car anyone?
I was looking at photos from The Tennessean this morning.
There was a picture of a man leaving his neighbor's house. The story goes that his neighbors were out of town because they were shopping for furniture for their new home. The couple plan on getting married in June. The neighbor tried to get into the home, left, came back with a key and came out with the Bride's wedding dress.
Families are coming together.
Neighbors are trying to help.
Families that have been the donators are having to be the ones who are accepting the donations. Families who have lived in large homes are having to sleep in shelters next to the homeless and needy.
No one ever thinks that THEY will be the ones who are homeless and needy.
That's always THEM.
Inmates are coming out to help prevent even more flooding. All the help is needed, doesn't matter who you are or what your background is. Just Help.
Historic landmarks like the Grand Ole Opry are flooded.
The places where people were married, got engaged are under 20 ft of water.
The bridge that I crossed every time I went to visit my best friend is flooded.
The streets look like a scene from the movie, but instead of it being filmed in a heated Olympic sized pool, it's for real.
Please pray for these families. Many don't know if they will even be able to get home. Even if their homes weren't destroyed, their neighborhoods might be and how in the world are they going to get to their work?
