Water Rising - Spring 2011



An email from my childhood friend Sharon Bullock Rush on Tuesday Evening, May 10, 2011:



"Dale,

Thought you would like to know that the water in Stinking Bay is almost as high as it was in 1927.  Two feet lower, and I think that it will crest tomorrow.

So that means all of the snakes are coming up the hill.  We have killed three in the driveway.  This morning my yard man was here picking up sticks and he killed three in the back yard.  I have to really look good when I go out side.  I always do.  

The farmers  have finally gotten back in the fields.  The fields were flooded and the roads were real bad.  Even I-40 was shut down.  The big trucks had to come from Hazen through Stuttgart to  DeWitt, Gillett, and to Lake Village and then head north to Memphis.  Now, that was a long haul!

Take Care,

Sharon
