Tennessee currently experiences floods. Cars have been swept away and houses have been washed off their foundations.

Looks like it may have been just a rather small area that had it, but good god. There's flash flooding and then there is...whatever the hell that was that deserves a label all it's own.

Saddest thing I heard of was a father that had his twin toddlers swept out of his arms. That sort of thing should only happen in movies.

Also, a shout out to RI and CT, among others, who got Henri, yet I've seen (as of this morning) almost no coverage on how they actually held up. I've seen one image of a transformer broken off a pole, that's it.

The devastation in TN seems to have almost totally overshadowed them instead of sharing coverage time. Well they did talk about flooding from Henri... for NJ and NY. CT and RI who?

I reached out to my folks out in Tennessee last weekend, and they're still safe. (Where they live at is about 100 miles from the affected area.) However, they did get some rainfall within their county.

Humphreys County is basically my 2nd hometown. Almost the entire residential area south of the train tracks is now destroyed.
