I mentioned in my post the other day that we got some terrible weather here over the weekend. Well, not only was it severe it was torrential. Dyersburg (about 15 minutes from Halls) sustained some serious flooding. The Forked Deer River is at its highest level since 1937. Please pray for the families that lost their homes and also those that lost their businesses.
The flooding is mostly located in south Dyersburg. Here are some pictures that a friend of mine took while flying over the devastation. (Click on the pictures to make them bigger)

Hwy 412 between Halls and Jackson. (Good thing this happened after I had babies. I would hate to try to get to the hospital through this mess!)

We were in Nashville this past weekend and it was insane the amount of rain they got. They had to shut down one of the interstates b/c it was flooded. So sad to see the damage the floods have done...
Corinth looked about like that! Mom's store was VERY fortunate and bypassed major damage. So sad that so much water can do so much damage :( Hope you guys are doing well. The babies are getting more and more precious by the minute!
