Interesting link regarding the flooding in the Memphis area:
http://www.staysafeshelby.us/The level of preparedness and civic response seems really good, so far. The next 2-3 days will really tell.
From the City Mayor:
"Hundreds of people have assisted our emergency responders during this critical time. I appreciate their willingness to fill sandbags, work at shelters, prepare food and keep our information hotline staffed at the emergency operations center."
