Day 28 - April 27, 2011 - Storms, Tornado's and Water

Seems to be a weekly thing here in Tennessee
to be under the gun with thunder storms,
lighting, straight line winds and tornados...
Its getting old.

Next week will be the 1st anniversary of
the Nashville floods, this includes
the surrounding counties in TN. also.

 1 year ago parts of TN. over a two
day span got dumped on with between
13 to 20 inches of rain.

Mass flooding, homes and business' lost.
And peoples lives changed.

The last two days have seemed like
it might be a repeat but alas in the last
30 minutes I actually see sunlight through
the trees. Maybe that is the end of it for a bit.
Tornado warning and watches every few minutes,
maybe tonight I can sleep for the first time in
two nights.

This is my road and this is what it looked like
when I got home today.

And this is looking off my front porch, past my
car to the creek.
The creek where it runs under the road.
This shot is to show how close my drive is to the creek.
And this is in the backyard of the house across the street.
The creek to show how fast it was moving.
And here you can barely see the tip of
a drink bottle as it floats by.
Hoping Mother Nature gives us a bit of a break.

Thanks for stopping in,

Very glad that the storms streamed up to the east of you, P1. They were to the north of us, and yes, once you've been through a big flood, you tend to run gunshy. But my heart is breaking right now for my friends in Mississippi and Alabama. I've never seen such violent weather, and every year seems to be a bit worse than the last. Over 125 dead in Alabama as of now and over 35 in Mississippi... just heartbreaking. Praying for God's protection over us all...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
