FLOOD WARNING:
All Shelby County residents should take flood precautions NOW and be prepared to leave homes and businesses.
That’s what we first read last night when we checked our zip code on the Shelby County Preparedness site. Warnings for our street were not listed as “most likely flooded” but “possibly flooded” between Sunday & Wednesday.
Our street is now in pre-evacuation mode. Much like an expectant mother who keeps a “packed” suitcase under the bed, we have ours in our car. Just in case. If we leave our street for work or church and return to a flooded street, we won’t be allowed home until the water recedes.
This morning as we left for church, we saw “movers” at our next-door neighbor’s house----hired to move their furniture upstairs. That’s just what Larry and I had been doing until 1:15 am. Just in case---since we have no flood insurance.
We’re hoping for the best but preparing for the “possibility” as suggested.
Meanwhile, as Larry finishes up for “possible” evacuation mode, I’m going into prayer mode. I am praying for acceptance and strength for whatever blows or washes our way. But God……………….
