Mid-South floods - 2010
hope all of the fellow mid south Pelicans are staying out of high water. I had to be at work early this morning for an emergency and wow, wish I had not had to be... I work between Jackson and Memphis Tennessee. After I got there, a bridge on the main highway gave and I had to really dig around the backroads to make it back to I-40.... Only to find I-40 closed in our area. Had to take a LARGE detour, but finally made it home 2 hours later (normally a 45 minute drive). Wife's 4x4 Suburban handled flawlessly, despite the many areas of water. Hope I never have to make a drive like that again. If it had not been for a medical emergency at home (of course on a day like today) I would have just parked it at work.
Our weather station at work, just south of Nutbush, TN, registered over 13" of rain since midnight! The entire area of Madison County is a mess. And so are many adjoining counties. Forecast is for 6-7 inches more tonight. Yay...
