Default Re: Mississippi Flood

Hopefully everyone will listen to the weather people and evacuate if told and be safe

If people would listen and not say it always goes around us....We had 36 folks get killed because of a tornado 5 miles from us, as the crow flies, and I bet alot would be here today if they would have listened...

There is flooding that hasn't happened since 1937. Even with the floodwalls and spillways that have been developed since then, places are still flooding. Some idiot announcer on the national news over the weekend made the comment they just didn't know where all this water was coming from. They obviously hadn't been living in Ky where we have gotten over 2 feet of rain in the last 2 weeks.

Good luck to all our friends down south!

Please be safe!!
