The Aftermath....

I'm not an emotional person usually...unless i'm mad then I cry. This made me sob like a baby. I've never seen this sort of thing in person. I watched after Katrina and never really thought much of it but now I think this may have changed my life. I was talking to my sister as the flood happened and she was freaking out. At first I thought she was in her car because she kept saying water is going into my windows Carol(her car), water, windows, April, what do I do? Talk about panic mode and almost having a heart attack. Come to find out she was about to leave for work and 3 dams busted and basically a tidal wave wiped out her neighborhood. Luckily she is half way up a hill so her damage wasn't AS bad as it could have been. Her garage is down a hill though so it is toast. Luckily her and her 2 dogs made it out. Justus my BIL was at work at the time so they have 1 vehicle left. They do have flood insurance. 25 houses in the area are condemned and will have to be torn down. Franklin will never look the same.

To make matters worse, her neighbor one house up the hill who's only damage was her basement flooded, dog died :( It happened yesterday and I had to hear the lady crying and the dog resembles Boomer. Dana was 14 though so it might have been of old age and the stress from the flood.

She has great friends and of course a good family so we'll take care of her. Oh, and it's raining and storming again so I can't go down there now because it's flooding again!!!!!
