Record rains cause flooding.

We are having record rainfall here.  The waters are overflowing everywhere.  It was not looking good yesterday afternoon when we were out and overnight proved to be disastrous.

This boat is standing on end.  It traveled about 1.5 miles to lodge against the bridge at the Welcome sign. Now how ya gonna get it back?

This the road I take to town.  There are other roads that are totally washed out.  I expect the highway to Dickson to wash out at as well. It was cracking this morning when we went out to church.
This is the diesel pump at our old store, Wells Creek Market. 
Water was reported to be 5+ feet high inside the store. 
This is where the business next door to the store USED to be. 
The daycare on the other side didn't fare any better.
The Elementary School across the street also had high water.



 


This is where JB's (my father in law) mower business USED to be.  The entire building washed out and landed in pieces several yards away.
We hope to help him recover tools tomorrow.
This is another view of the house. They rent the house to another couple now.
The water didn't get too far into the house. 
 Paxton has played in the rain and on the porch the last two days.  She has started to grasp only slightly the damage it has caused.  There are many in our community who are displaced and will need clean up help.  So much of our county is "low" and many folks live on creeks and in low spaces.
