THE FLOOD
We were camping the week of QuiltCon in Goodlettsville, Tennessee. It rained and rained and rained. On and off throughout the week the flash flood warnings would sound off on our phones but we never really thought too much about it. THEN IT HAPPENED.
Ted and Koda had to evacuate and head to high ground. The creek behind our campground breached its banks and was rising fast. Ted threw what he could up on the beds in the camper and waded with Koda to the truck and drove to safety, leaving the camper and everything else behind. It was scary and the prospect of losing the camper and contents was very real.
Fortunately, the water rose to within 3 inches of the door opening, and then started to recede. Ted and Koda were able to return to the camper later that night. There was only minimal damage to our items that were left outside. Others were not so lucky.
Meanwhile, in Nashville at the Music City Center, Natalie was sewing a needle through her finger!
