CRUISING YOU TUBE FOUND UNDER HENDERSONVILLE FLOOD & LOOSING FOUND a PICTURE OF MY DAUGHTER'S LITTLE TRUCK IN THE DRIVE WAY. Water crested just over her top. ALLSTATE AGENT CAME IN TOTALED HER TRUCK AND MY SEBRING CONVERTIBLE.

MY TEAK PATIO TABLE chairs and TWO CHAISE lounges and a fire pit. Not in the neighborhood probably AT THE base of the dam.

FELL YESTERDAY CRUSHED TWO DISKS NOW SITTING IN WHEELCHAIR. HUSBAND'S TAKEN CHARGE. SENDING ME AND THE BIRD TO MY SISTERS. WITH MUCH ARGUING FROM ME.

I've worked twenty years to surround myself with a home I LOVE and things for comfort. now all gone. No content protection. HAVE FILED DISASTER RELIEF FROM F.E.M.A.

ADJUSTER COMES FOR-HOUSE TOMORROW. WE WILL SEE. TINA COMES FOR ME SUNDAY.

HOPE YOUR LIVES ARE FARING BETTER.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME--I CAN MOVE MY FEET AND THERE'S LITTLE PAIN.

ONE GOOD THING SOLID WOOD CAN BE SANDED AND RE-STAINED.

LOVE TO YOU ALL.MISS ME????

FLOOD WHAT NEXT?????????????????????????


AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING.

2010 HAS NOT BEEN GOOD TO ME. AFTER THREE DAYS OF HARD RAIN OUR 100 YEAR FLOOD PLAIN, WHICH HAS NOT FLOODED IN 209 YEARS DID,

I GOT UP WENT OUT BACK TO CHECK MY NEW TREES I PLANTED IN POTS FOR ARBOR DAY. THE CREEK AT THE BACK OF OUR PROPERTY ACREAGE, 1 ACRE FROM THE HOUSE WAS RUNNING HIGH, WENT INSIDE TO MAKE TEA. BAM BAM BAM, AT THE DOOR--FIREMAN SAID WE HAD 5 MINUTES TO GET OUT. DAM HAD OVER-FLOODED BY 7 FEET, I HAVE 4 STEPS TO THE PORCH. WATER WAS ON THE PORCH. HUSBAND BARELY GOT HIS BIG GMC TRUCK OUT AND UP THE HILL TWO BLOCKS, WHILE DAUGHTER AND I GRABBED THE BIRD AND STUFFED SOME CLOTHES IN A BAG--SHE REMEMBERED HER COMPUTER. A FIREMAN CARRIED ME THROUGH FOUR FEET OF WATER THROUGH THUNDERING RAIN. THE CUMBERLAND RIVER IN NASHVILLE WENT FROM 25 FEET TO 51 LAST NIGHT. STILL HASN'T CRESTED.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO OUR SUB-DIVISION DUE TO WATER 8 INCHES OVER THE ROAD.

WE'RE AT A HOTEL FOR NOW. FLOOD INSURANCE PAYS 80%. ALL ON REIMBURSEMENT.
WE ARE SCREWED.

ANYWAY THIS COULD TAKE 60 DAYS OR MORE. UNLESS WHERE WE SETTLE HAS WIRELESS I'LL BE OFFLINE TILL THEN, OR NY HOUSE IS GUTTED AND REBUILT.
:SIGH:

I WILL MISS YOUR BLOGS IF NO CONNECTION AT NEW WEEKLY HOTEL.

GOING TO START SALVAGING IN A FEW HOURS. CAN'T SLEEP.

SO IF NOTHING FROM ME FOR A WHILE. I'M ALIVE JUST WITHOUT INTERNET. LET YOU KNOW TOMORROW NIGHT.

I THINK I WAS CURSED BY A HAITIAN VOODOO WOMAN. BEEN ALL DOWNHILL SINCE.
