Good to hear you're okay, Scorch. Best wishes to everyone affected.
As much fun as urban kayaking sounds, I'd hate to deal with a flood. I'd be worried about my beloved pets drowning, and much less important but still my #2 concern- my many electronic possessions.
A tornado ravaged my hometown of Springfield, IL, in March of 2006. That was very scary... and I had never feared tornadoes before. The earthquakes here in California... some people who have lived here their whole lives freak out over them. I simply calmly go about my business and then tease them when they post their "OMFG EARTHQUAKE WE'S GON' DIE" Facebook status updates.
ing sucks i know some people out there. most of my people live in east tennessee so theyre ok. from what the news said nashville and other areas got like 15 or so feet of rain in hours which ive never heard of happening before so its not surprising that people got caught off guard. and there were supposedly chances of a tornado happening too but thankfully that didnt pan out. i remember spot flooding here and there in tennessee but i dont think its ever gotten this bad before. worst ive ever seen was when chilhowee park flooded over and it had to be drained out for days.
