Flash Flood Warning

Hey Everyone! Happy Thursday y’all! (Just another day till the weekend! Yay!)

Well, while I was eagerly waiting for the winters to end (yes, I have had enough!), seems like the weather Gods had something else in mind! With a record-breaking rain since February 1949, Memphis (and the Mid-South) had what we call is the “Flash Flood Warning!” With almost 13.43” (which is around 9″ above normal) of rain so far over the span of last few weeks – life for sure, has been gloomy, damp and slushy. Thankfully, Memphis is point 5” away from the flood flight activation trigger, so we are safe for now. (Phew!)

Making most of the little sunshine that we experienced today, I managed to click a few pictures for you all to see. The massiveness and immensity of Mississippi River, brimming in its full glory – is a sight to behold and adore. With submerged trees, swamped walking trails, sunken conduits, drowned saplings, floating planks and invisible tracks – it’s a picture which is both intimidating and impressive at the same time.

When Mother Nature dictates, well, you take notes and learn! (No questions asked!) Guess it’s time for me to re-fill my coffee mug and curl up in my blankie, with a hope for “sunny days” and “clear skies”.

Stay safe! Cheers!

Love,

  1. The eastern 2/3 of the continent are either experiencing, or anticipating, the worst large-scale weather event since Superstorm Sandy. M y prayers and careful monitoring of this event are a priority, this weekend, even from safe and sound Arizona. Too many loved ones are in Riley’s wake.
