Well, admittedly, our flying field in Murfreesboro stayed above water....so we're ahead of you there. (Granted, we couldn't GET to the field for 2-3 days...but the field was there *heh*)

Of course, on the down side, pretty much the whole city has been touched in some way...from significant parts of downtown under water and without power, entire shopping centers under water, and water conservation in place, to I don't know how many people who've simply LOST homes...as in, don't even know where the building went.

The water is now off of the runway. What a mess. The road is gone. All the tables and chairs are gone and the runway has about two inches of mud on it.
A real special thanks to Jim Cherry at the AMA and Charlie Baur VP of district 6 for their help in sending SkyMac funds to help offset some of the cost of repair. I'll get some new pictures of the damage. Dennis
