Well, it ain't over yet.
Just talked to someone at the Sheriff's dept.... apparently the Hatchie River is supposed to crest on Thursday. The flood waters are already as high now as we've ever seen it --when Kara was born 17 years ago. It hasn't been this high since that time... we're looking at record breaking flood waters on the rise tonight-- and for a few more days yet. Let's pray that our house is high enough up on this hill!!
Two of our exits out of here are flooded-- one of the roads has water across the road that is approximately 10-12 ft deep at least. There's one other cut-through path to get out, that had about 6 inches of water flowing across it this morning, but the ditches have been cleaned out today-- hopefully that will help keep it from flooding again.
The lady I spoke with at the sheriff's dept said that my road IS on the list where they are sending officers to tomorrow to ask people to consider evacuation. I guess I'll know tomorrow what the officials think about the hill I live on by whether we get asked to evacuate. I doubt they will-- but if they do, you can count on me packing up what we need and getting out. I'm not having the snakes from the hatchie Swimming around in my house with ME in it.
