Home surveillance video shows speed of Waverly flooding

- We are getting an unbelievable new glimpse of what the Waverly flooding looked like, and just how fast the water moved in and changed the situation from bad to worse.
When you hear of people drowning and you think "wouldn't happen to me, i'd be long gone before the water got high", this video puts into perspective that sometimes there is no warning and no escape.
There is easy escape if you hop in your escape kayak at the first sign of water rising, everytime.
Yeah, the term "flash" flooding is definitely put in perspective
Many times there is warning, but it is ignored.
Being aware of surroundings well before an event makes a difference also.
Ever check the elevation when looking for a place to live or spending time in an unfamiliar location?
I have . You’d be surprised how you may drop 20 to 30 feet without it being visually noticeable.
@@helidude3502 Good point. Also, not a bad idea to visit a place (you want to move to) when its raining outside to see how the area handles rain water in general.
Would have been nice if they added why that area flooded, why it was unexpected.
Prayers to everyone.
I have to note that I think the news interviewer had an aware respect and genuine kindness in his manner that you don’t see anymore. Thanks for this kind of reporting.
I agree, both men seemed so genuine and sincere it was, in an odd way, sort of refreshing in the face of disaster (if that makes sense, I hope it comes off the way I meant it).
@@GTLees I wholeheartedly agree, it was refreshing in a sense of the genuine respect and atmosphere of the interview set up...considering all the tragic loss and shocking disasters that are taking place.
@@TyHarrodTX Yes, that's it exactly.
Prayers are not going to help with anything. Instead of praying, take actions into your own hands.
What do you mean that we don't see anymore? We all just saw it.
People underestimate the power of fast flowing water; it doesn't even have to be that deep.
Americans underestimate the power of knowing this was a problem 30 or 40 years ago (i.e., human influenced global warming). Environmental Science classes teach it, btw.
@@damienholland8103 everyone did dumbass don’t blame it on just us
Why are people so quick to call others dumb or stupid over a comment. Does it automatically make you smarter? Is it like a power when you call someone dumb you gain what little intelligence they had?? Lol do they send you a Nobel prize for declaring your smarter then someone else??? Lmaooo
@@damienholland8103 God flooded the entire planet. Climate change ain't got nothing on him.
@@nathanbigsby8731 your god is a scumbag then.
For everybody asking, "Where is Waverly?" It's in the middle of Tennessee.
The army core of engineers has flooded Waverly several times thru the years.
The only Waverly I knew of is in Alabama near Auburn (War Eagle!), with a population of around 600.
Thanks. Very remiss and negligent of a TV station to omit the location. They think their broadcast only transmits to a 25 mile radius and that CZcams covers the same area.
@@RechtmanDon There is a wavily in every state
Thankyou
It is heartbreaking that this man lost everything and two relatives as well. I hate that he and so many others are going through this kind of tragedy
Totally heartbreaking 💔 🙏🏻
@@JB-bj6bm What is also heartbreaking is not being able to do anything to help these people. You want so much to eliminate their distress and heal their pain
Don't live in the 100 year flood plain. Easy solution.
Never forget that the world is a temporary place and a test
The life of the world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The abode of the hereafter-that is truly Life if they only knew. (Surat al-'Ankabut: 64)
Never forget that everything on the face of the earth is created for a purpose. It is a most definite fact that everything you see around you serves a special purpose. There is also a purpose for which you and the rest of humanity exists:
He Who created death and life to test which of you is best in action. He is the Almighty, the Ever-Forgiving. (Surat al-Mulk: 2)
As the verse above explains, Allah placed man temporarily in this world to test him. He tests us with what we experience in life; He creates this life in order that believers may be distinguished from the non-believers, and by which they may be purified of evil, and worthy of the reward of Paradise. In other words, the world is merely a testing-ground where we can earn the good pleasure of Allah.
@@salehamustafa1965 everyone dies, pure or evil. If you live an evil life, your already in hell[on earth]. No such thing as living a pure life. Not 1 person is w/o sin.
So sorry. He seems like a nice person. I’m glad he is safe.
Until someone pisses him off !
Bless this man Michael and his family
God Bless you dear Michael and all your family, friends and neighbors
"Thus says The Lord God: Whom shall I send? Who will go for Me? There is no more time to tarry. The day is far spent, and the sun is setting upon this age of men.
Husbandmen, go out and gather. For the wheat is already bundled, and who is able to loose it? Neither man nor beast is able; behold, nothing in all creation is able to separate that which The Lord has bound together. Therefore, My sons, go out and gather up the remnant, even every last grain which has fallen to the ground. Gather it up quickly before the storm comes, where the winds shall blow, the hail shall beat down, and the rains shall overflow, erode and wash away.
Behold, the field shall be left in ruins, in much disarray, unrecognizable to those who look upon it. And what of that which is left? Will not the birds of the air come and consume, and the beasts of the field devour, until nothing of the crop remains? For the time has indeed come for The Lord to stretch out His hand against the wicked, for The God of Heaven to visit the earth.
Behold, I shall visit in My wrath and come like a storm! And as a great whirlwind of fire, I shall consume all this wickedness from the face of the earth! For the nations have raged against Me, and the people refuse to give glory to My name. Yet of sin, this they uphold! Thus they shall perish with much shouting, when I cause the earth to rise up and fight against them, until deep and heavy silence covers them and their wickedness is no more before My face!
Behold, even in these lands, you call California and Nevada, shall it begin. For they have become as a great river, A RIVER OF SIN, an unending source of abominations, murder and licentiousness! Even that which Sodom and Gomorrah had done pales compared with that brought forth of them!
Therefore, My servants,
BLOW THIS TRUMPET!...
Shout to the masses, by all
Manner of speaking and devices!...
For you hold The Key to Salvation in your hearts,
And there He is within your understanding...
SHOUT HIS NAME!"
~
"LIFE HAS A NAME! The Beginning and The End has walked among you! The Source and The Reason is here, and shall also come in great power and glory! From Him did you come forth, and to Him must you return, all you, His beloved. Behold, His names are many and wonderful![1] That which He is has no end, for as I AM so also is He! The Father and The Son are one, and our name, one - YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH!
In the beginning was The Word, and The Word
Was with God, and The Word was God;
The same was in the beginning with God...
Through Him all things came into being,
And nothing in all creation was made apart from Him...
In Him was life, and The Life was the light of men;
The Light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness shall not overcome it...
And behold, The Word became flesh...
Immanu El!"
~
"For who can understand the knowledge of The Lord contained within creation, or know the depths of His wisdom?! Yet His Glory surrounds us on every side, testifying to His majesty beyond question! Indeed, we are without excuse!
Behold, even the whole of creation shouts,
“YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH!”
For it is He by whom all things consist,
It is He who causes to be...
For The Lord our God is One!"
Such a reserved man for having gone thru so much with his family. And he had to lose family on top of everything. I hate that he and so many had such hardship. My prayers to them all...🙏
Kudos to this news coverage---it was a caring way to speak, and yet gave us an incredible view and understanding of just how quickly this developed. I love this man's answer too: "Please just continue with the prayers". God Bless. I will continue with my prayers.
Facts
I don’t love his answer. It’s not a way to help. Prayers won’t help him.
If you believe in God, God also caused this disaster.
@@user-qm1wc7dc8t if that's what you believe, hon---that's your choice! God Bless.
@Rouxh No God hasn’t. That’s not true. Gods causing storms is what ancient fools believed.
@@user-qm1wc7dc8t Thant’s why were in this shit. People like u blaming God for everything. The man lost his belongings house whatever. But he still has his life. So yes prayer does help for those who believe
Definitely the definition of a flash flood. My heart goes out to the friends & family who lost loved ones 😔
It is Prophetic Happenings...many floods, lives lost. Pray and ask for protection from the Heavens and God's Kingdom!!!.
@@sylviasylvia8551 - this is not some new Prophetic Happening, there have always been floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc., etc. It is part of life, unfortunately. The increasing strength and frequency is tied to climate change.
10 minutes!!! Just 10 minutes!!!
Even seeing the time stamp it's hard to believe it only took 10 minutes.
That's why they call it a flash flood, back in 2009 where I WAS living here in Georgia it went from zero inches to 24 feet in less than 3 hours.
If it floods where I live now a whole lot of people all across America will be screwed!! My driveway is a ski slope and I live Way way above sea level.
@@tenbeertwoknife3443 24 feet ?! Sheesh !!
@@lickwitgold1661 One of my neighbors that lived below me a block away had his son climb the oak tree in his front yard with a tape measure to check the mud line in the tree they had 28 foot 4 inches!!
Yes mine and his were under water over the roof under water.
Exactly.
That was super fast.
@@tenbeertwoknife3443 wow, what part of Georgia may I ask? Scary
The surveillance camera shows the water just starting at about 1 minute after 10.... by 10 after, it had reached peak. That's just crazy fast. I feel so bad for everyone there!
I almost feel compelled to move for them.
Where did the water come from
Is the ?
@@leonmoore4336 17 inches in one storm
Where did the flood water come from I didn't see heavy rain.
@@kellikelli4413 Google "watershed" google "17 inches of rain" google "flood plain" google "time of concentration"
That was fast and frightening. Changed lives forever in just minutes. Incredible, just incredible.
Michael looks solid as an oak. Hope everything recovers well!
He's a great man.
I'm so sorry you lost your two cousins and everything you owned...praying to God to bless you and restore everything 10x's more in Jesus Name Amen ⚘ ⚘
What jesus gon do? Give him a mansion?

O ' Yes I'm a living testimony of expert Debra Barton.
Mrs Debra has changed my financial
status for the best ,all thanks to my aunt who introduced her to me.
He was very wise to not get in the water! Prayers for this family and others as they try to rebuild their lives.
Mike, my dude, thought I recognized that voice, ain’t seen ya in almost 20 years but so glad you and your family are safe and my condolences on the loss of your extended family members. Getting a lil gray around the edges there buddy. 😝 Glad to see you still have your positive ain’t nothing we can’t handle attitude about ya. Take care my friend. DHW ❤️
Its always uplifting to hear from someone you know especially your friend & dude!
I've been in 2 floods on Joe St. 2019 I moved in with my sister, if I hadn't my daughter and I wouldn't of made it. God bless you Mike and and all that lost loved ones and their homes..my thoughts and prayers are with you all. WAVERLY STRONG!
Wow, that was fast!.... They literally only had seconds to get to safety, once that water reached their front door!..... So glad that he and his family are safe!.....
So quickly lives can be gone.
Thank God you’re safe.
Omg bless that man's heart...I cannot imagine how hard and terrifying that was for a parent to face that with kids and having to think fast to save all of them when you have never had to face such a thing..😰 I'm so glad him and his family are okay..bless his families huge losses..I'm from Dauphin island in Mobile Al.and I've weathered more storms than I can count but I've never been in anything like that and pray I dont ever have to🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree so scary
Yeah he sounds like he really lost people close to him lol
that man is clearly the product of willing uneducation and if we are lucky Darwinism will also take care of him like his cousins
@@king.indigo3692 Do you really have to do that? You get off on laughing at other people's pain and misfortune? You're a special kind of jerk, huh?
It's simply said a responsible man is a family man, every responsible man, must be independence to take care of him responsible of him family.
I'm guessing that this is about Waverly, Tennessee, although many states have a Waverly.
Beshear stressed authorities will likely remain in the recovery and rescue phase for several weeks, adding that they will have a better idea of damage estimates after flood waters dissipate
I appreciate footage like this, when people hear flash flood warning, they don't even think about it. Hopefully people will see this and realize they really should keep an eye and ear out even if the don't live that close to a body of water.
I'm trying to picture what I would do with my family in this same situation. It's scary. Mike did a great job and got his family through it. Wishing for a speedy recovery for my Tennessee brothers
But as a hardline conservative your Kentucky Sisters are just property :D
You won't realise it until it's too late. One second you're going on about your daily life, then 2 minutes later you're fighting for your life
Very rare, honest, and heart-felt television news journalism. I wish this news crew would move to my town!
Like seriously, it's all over the world 🌍🌍
Prayers, condolences, & good vibes coming your way Michael! RIP to your cousins, neighbors, & loved ones!
So terrifying. Loss of life, loss of everything they own. We all can send condolences and words of comfort, however, I can’t imagine the true impact these people are struggling with everyday to recover. Hugs and much love to them all.
Michael sounds like a white guy when he talks, that is a story by itself.
@@NoNORADon911 No he does not and why would that be a "story in itself"? Pay attention to what happened to all of them, duh!
@@helenhunter4540 Yeah he totally sounds Caucasian and that's ok! :D
And its just my opinion. I'm guessing he knows. Its pretty interesting actually.
I'm aware of the tragedy in this video.
This is a great video to explain how dangerous floods are. And why they should be taking extremely seriously
God bless to all those affected. This man is so positive and pleasant, that he was saved to continue to rebuild his community. He's a special person. My deepest sympathy to all
God bless? No God has cursed these people for a reason. Read your Bible please to avoid such inaccurate comments.
@@lionsdejudah They know it' but won't admit it
Paying for this man and his family.. Praying for everyone!!!
Since I bet 90% of the people living around here are god fearing people, why did god kill so many? Does he hate what god fearing people are doing now?
@@awboat : If you look around, you have to conclude that "God" is either unspeakably cruel, or he's utterly incompetent, or he doesn't give a crap when innocent people suffer. He has no excuse at all.
And "praying" is delusional. He doesn't hear and he doesn't care.
*Waverly, TN*
During the early morning of Saturday, August 21, 2021, very heavy rainfall resulted in widespread flash flooding across western Middle Tennessee,
ok
Thanks for the information. The description doesn't have any information. This video popped up on my recommendations. Uploader needs to put information if they want engagement.
Thank you.
I had no idea where Waverly was...it's not in the description.
Prayers to all the families that are going through this. We should all think about adding life jackets in our cars and homes. The weather is getting more peculiar lately.
This was god's punishment for America turning away from socialism.
@@yaosio you are truly an idiot heartless troll. Millions died from socialism. Name one time it worked.
@@mywhorled : "Millions died from socialism"?? Americans are so ignorant! "Name one time it worked."
Have you ever been to Scandinavia? Every country there has been SOCIALIST for decades, and they have a much higher standard of living than people in the U.S., where there are few who have utterly OBSCENE amounts of wealth, while MOST people are barely getting by or are dying in the street.
Socialist countries also have free medical care for all -- while most Americans would lose their entire life's savings if they ever get sick or are in an accident.
@@stevecarson4162 a socialist democracy is not the same as socialism. Think Cuba, Mao's China, Lenin, Stalin, etc. Millions starved to death. They were not an open market economy like Nordic countries, capitalist/socialist. There's a huge difference. Nice try, but no.
@@stevecarson4162 btw, thanks for the insult. Too bad you feel that way about the most successful country in history. Says more about you than us.
So devastating.. I cant believe how positive this man is after all that has happened. This is going to become the new normal over the next decade
I've been through floods and a dozen hurricanes but I've never seen cars and trucks floating down the street. Imagine just waiting it out on the roof knowing there's nothing you can do, especially when you have kids. How do you explain it all to them?
You don't have to explain anything kid ,they can see what's going on
I remember when The levee broke in St Louis Missouri and St Charles where I lived everything flooded it's pretty scary
Scary. Makes me realize that I don't have a plan if this happens in my neighborhood.
We just moved to Waverly 2 weeks before the flood. A year later the town has finally reached a point of moving forward but there is serious trauma still lingering for a lot of folks.
It’s amazing how fast it builds by watching the clock on the screen. That’s crazy 🥺
What a terrible thing to experience! This is happening in so many parts of the country. My parents live in New Jersey and have had some flooding in their house over there, but are thankfully okay. Praying for everyone that is dealing with these disasters. ❤️ 🙏
Why the prayers? If prays helped it wouldn’t have happened in the first place QED.
What a guy, positive attitude in the face of a tragedy, makes you proud of America.
I could only focus on waverly and where it is is, no where in the report does it mention a state or what storm was causing the flooding.
Tennessee on 8/21. There has been more flooding recently from Ida.
Scary stuff, best wishes from Ireland
Waverly was my home for a few years. I just left this may 1sr. My heart hearts to see the damage and the loss of life and the suffering. Love and prayers are being said daily.
TY for showing us this video & while disturbing it shows the timeline on just how quickly people had to react. So happy & sad that Michael's family was saved but his cousins lost & to ALL others who lost loved ones we DO continue keeping you in our thoughts & prayers. Please God Bless Everyone.
My condolences Mr. Phillips on the loss of your two cousins and your friend, even though the reporter DoD not think to offer it on camera. 💖🙏💖🙏
I'm sure he did it off camera, though we all know that doesn't mean as much. 🤨
deepest condolences from South Africa. May God bless and keep you all safe.
How kind of you
I love your videos!! They're so amazing. Stay safe out there everyone ❤️❤️
I experienced a flash flood when a tiny creek that is nothing more than a trickle became a raging river. We had 6 inches in 1 hour and 12 inches in 6 hrs. The creek overflowed it's banks and completely filled my backyard up to the windows. And it wasn't slow moving water. It was dangerous and moving very fast. Very scary and I called 911... They told me they couldn't help me, we were on our own. A couple neighbors went up to the creek and dug a relief channel which reduced the flow towards my house. Luckily the waters subsided before it got anymore out of hand. That whole experience made me realize just how dangerous flood waters can be. It comes quick. I woke up and there was no time to evacuate and nowhere to go anyway since it was flooded everywhere.
God bless uou all especially those who lost loved one's in our
Please news channel - setup and post a go fund me page for this gentleman - many of us will assist this family if given a vehicle to donate … blessings, light, love ✨❤️
What a sweet soul. Bless him, his family, and the people of Waverly. ♥♥
I know Mike.. Strange to see you're home flood and know folks who died.🙏
Waverly Tennessee here
God Bless This Man. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
His perspective, thinking about the Lives that were Lost, not his "stuff", now there's a Man with his head/Heart in the Right place!
Too bad this won't get All the views it deserves because it's not Salacious enough. smh
When you are told to evacuate LEAVE... nature is no joke, property can be replaced you only have one YOU... be safe everybody!
No one was told to evacuate. There was no warning! I live there.
this flood was caused by the nearby town getting flooded with 17 inches of rain in 3 hours
and all the water rushing downstream to Waverly
This was no hurricane- nobody had any warning or instructions to leave. It's called " FLASH" for a reason!
@@sandyjuntunen4088 great job missing my point entirely dude... let me try again... WHENEVER you are told to leave = EVACUATE... nature is no joke, property can be replaced, you only have one YOU... be safe everybody...
Now hopefully that worked better for you!
@@andrewclayterman6230 thank you for your specific info that has zero help for me or anyone else... let me try again: WHENEVER you are told to leave = EVACUATE... nature is no joke, property can be replaced you only have one YOU... be safe everybody... I hope that helped do the trick for you einstein & everyone else reading my comment!
My heart goes out to this man, his family and all the people of Waverly, hello from Canada.
Hard to imagine the swiftness, without this documentation!
I'm so very sorry for what you all had to go through and for all those who died. It's so tragic. I wish it would wake up the rest of the world to put God first 💕🌞
PRAYING FOR ALL
What a smart level headed guy. The world needs more people like him. My prayers for you and yours sir.
I was there working in New Johnsonville at the time when this happened. We got off work early cause of lightening around 8-8:30am, I then drove back and got gas at the Casey’s in town, seconds later it was like the whole town was under water. So many people lost their lives. I was trying to help as much as I could. I remember finding a girl upstream shivering and crying asking where her babies were, they had been swept out of her arms during the flood. Something you truly can’t imagine unless you’re there. There were officers I believe that also lost their lives, I saw their boat flip as they tried to go out and rescue others. Prayers for everyone.
Rest In Peace 😔
And my deepest respect and condolences to those who lost someone and their home
Prayers from Louisiana 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Can we all appreciate how this one news station somewhere next to nowhere spoke like all news people should with actual compassion without inserting their BS.
Waverly, Tennessee
Mr. Phillips, I am so glad your family made it out, so sorry about all of your loss. We will be praying for everyone affected, never forget even in these times , God is good. Lord please lay a helping hand on Country . We really need you right now. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
"God is good"?? But he did nothing as this man lost two relatives and suffered a whole lot of damage. What was "God" doing that was good here? And you're praying to a deity that does NOTHING as innocent people suffer and die. What is he good for again? Find something less useless to worship.
Flawless interview by that survivor. I wouldn't have been able to keep my composer at all especially after he lost two family members and one friend.
"What would you like to see to help improve the situation?" "Prayers"
You should include - at least in the description - where and when this happened. When you put up a clip on CZcams it goes out to an international audience. This clip just shows some flooding somewhere and says nothing except, 'here's an interview with a guy who experienced tragedy.'
So put the location in your comment, your comment doesn't mention it either LOL
I agree. I looked at Google Maps and there is a Waverly in TX & TN. I guess from his accent that it is TN, but not sure.
Waverly, Tennessee.
I found out the state by searching for Waverly flood.
God forgive us for our sin please protect each and one of us from all this disaster😭😭😭😭please God those that don’t turn to you I hope that this will make them cause this is just the beginning 😭😭😭😭
What nice coverage. Very respectful. I hope the people there are able to recover.
What a really good guy, thanks for sharing. That’s probably the best report as seen on the Waverley floods
*Hey, to you reading* ... you are loved in this moment, just as you are, here's how we know:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Hence the term “Flash Flood.” Awful that people lost their lives and loved ones.
My prayers go out to the family of the friend who jumped into the water to save someone and ended up drowning!🙏🏼
Sending prayers of comfort and peace of mind. Michaels positivity in the face of such adversity is inspiring.
And even sadder was the "FACT" that the media provided no coverage of the black citizens affected by this tragedy in Waverly ... but now they are interested in their video footage
I'm amazed the black citizen speaks clear concise English. That's rare.
@@goughaway52 Actually it's not but your comment does expose your ignorance and lack of exposure to other cultures ... that's what I always say, if you keep your mouth shut people will keep thinking you're intelligent (-:
Give it a rest. Humans died.
@@mywhorled And that's exactly my point..humans died...and should be covered the same! But of course that doesn't matter to you
Praying for them. He is right though " what caused this? Never seen anything like this before. " 🤔
Thank you for sharing this video. We will continue praying.
Mr.Phillips im so glad u and ur family made it thru the flood.
Another strange coincidence a city called Waverly gets engulfed by a water wave. How bizarre!
Just imagine as kids we walking back home because if not raining & we was at the friends house 🥺😭😭😭
Give both of these guys a raise!
Absolutely horrifying! Prayers for all who are trying to recover and cope with the aftermath.
So Sad!!!! Money spent on unnecessary unjustified wars shall have been used to fight poverty, improve infrastructure, provide affordable housing, no basements shit holes..
Bro that's utopia
We all need to stop praying and start acting. God can't make the message any clearer people. We made this mess ourselves. We are being shown the error of our collective ways as a species. Time to start cleaning it up. Climate action is overdue! People will continue suffering horrible losses until we sort our shit out!
Yes. This. It is good to pray to him, but you can't just stand around and wait for someone to act.
This is not due to man. I am a scientist and live in the area. Weather happens. It's a flat area of the city and 17 inches of rain in one night.
Levee broke
So positive. Wishing you and your family all the best.
I believe this because back when Hurricane Matthew hit North Carolina and caused devastating flooding in my area it was quick. One moment we noticed the water beginning to cover the street in front of our house and by the time everyone grabbed a few things and headed out the door to our cars, the water had made it to our front doorsteps. We made it out by driving through our neighbors fence behind our house. When we were allowed back the next week the water had been up to 4 feet in our house. All this was around midnight. I was thankful that I was a night owl and noticed the water when I did because if not we would not have been able to make it out. No lives were lost in our neighborhood because the men went around banging on peoples doors to let them know about the rising water and to help them escape. I feel for this man who lost family and friends.
Thoughts and prayers are insufficient. Use the money otherwise going to Afghanistan now. HELP THESE AMERICANS.
Prayer is powerful. Im praying that God touches your heart and you feel his presence.
Prayer is definitely powerful, never underestimate it’s power. That being said, yes, beneficial action is important too.
It isn't magic and prayers aren't gonna do it. This is just the beginning.
Kind sir, prayers most certainly do help. I can't attest to anything on this earth besides 1 thing for sure, prayers to Christ make a huge difference. And yes you are absolutely right, this is only the beginning🙏.

Mr. Phillips is remarkably calm and articulate in recounting such a dire recent event in his life. I don't know that so soon after this I could speak so clearly and unemotionally. I wish him, his family, and members of the Waverly community the best.
Micheal , I'm so thankful you and your family were spared. I admire your strength and your resilience to be able to have a good outlook for the future. Prayers will be going up for you and your community. Does the news station have a link to help donate to the community?

Wow. I have never seen water rise that fast. Was this nearby a river? I'm trying to comprehend where in the world the water came from that quickly.
That's so sad! I'm so glad family and friends/people helped!
SOMEONE stole GOD'S rainbow! THANK GOD FOR HIS EXTREME MERCY! 🙏🙌
May the LORD comfort the bereaved! In JESUS' NAME!
Jesus is Lord, repent and turn to him, he is the truth and the light
Jesus isn't going to repair their communities or fix climate change. That's up to us.
