And we thought we had it bad ....With all of the rain we have experienced within the past month we saw a lot of areas running into problems with flooding and landslides.
Check out the following links on what is happening in Memphis, TN. What would you do if you were in this situation?

I would probably start getting scared that we won't be able to go back to normal. I would also probably not know what to do next, and I wouldn't ever be able to get over the flood.
GRADED
I would definitely be a tad bit frightened, but i would clear out of the river valley. If I lived in NO, i wouldve gotten out there after hurricane katrina. I mean, theyre BELOW sea level.
Graded
I honestly wouldnt know what to do, it would be so scary, you know with the risk of injuries and drowning. I just couldnt even imagine what they must have been going through
Graded!
I would most likely be freaking out if the water levels were that high here. I would be wondering what we would do considering everything is probably saturated and even f the water was going away everything would still be wet for awhile after that. It would be a devastating occrance and it would stay with me forever.
GRADED!
It really depends on if it rains again. If it affected your house I would move because there might be more rain and it could badly damage your house or just take some things and go to a friends house for a few days. If its not affecting you always be ready for it.
@Samantha
I would be thinking about that too. Definitely the drownign part, little kids could easily be interested in the water and go near it. All it takes is one wet stone and they slip...and if they can't swim...that would be bad. Scary!
@ Sam Savard,
I dont know, if there was a risk of injuries/drowning, i would clear out. I mean, there are a lot of states under fire of mother nature. Mississippi-tornadoes, New York-blizzards (at least in the winter) California-mudslides, Texas-severe drought. You have to admit, Cincinnati is pretty safe. But dont you wonder why all these are happening at generally the same time? We take comfort in the fact that there have been worse disasters, but none were accompinied by other record-breaking disasters.
@anna
same , I would be really scared. I would go to a frieds house.
What would you do?
GRADED
I would probably be scared.Natural disasters are both scary and powereful.It would be tramatizing,because chances are you'd lose at least one person you know.
@ Sam Savard
I would be the same way, I would be scared and confused beacause I wouldnt know what to do next, I cant imagine being a 12 or 13 year old girl in a situation like that!!

If I was in that situation I would be so upset. I mean that's so terrible that something like that happened. I mean I wouldn't know what to do either, because sometihng like that has never happened to me before.
@kaylee
i would probably go to a family's house and hope that me and my family can stay there untill the flood is gone!
@Secert Agent Luke.
I feel the same way! I wouldn't know what to do! I would be scared, confused, sad and it would be so crazy! I would be mainly focusing on if everyone I loved was ok.
wow i had no idea that was going on. if i were in a situation like that, i would grab some posessions that were important to me and head to the shelter, if i was in the area that had been severely effected by the river.
@ sanzere anna
Graded
how can you hate floods if you haven't experianced one? i know they are horrible natural disasters but still. And there would really be only one choice, evacuation by fleeing to some relatives or going to the shelter.

I would probably leave because i don't want to swim in 25 feet of dirty water
GRADED
I would leave if i lived by the river and I would also be scared because if we lived by the river we would be flooded and i dont want to die
GRADED!!!!!
I would be scared to death! The littlest things scare me and I would be FREAKING OUT if my hometown was flooding..... I would make my mom and dad get us on higher ground.

GRADED
i would get soooo scared! i wouldnt know what to do and like the flood would scare me so much!
GRADED
I would be worried about our health and house and how we would get around. I would be worried about how the city would recover from this incident.
@ Courtney Mauricio
I agree, it would be hard to get over the flood.
GRADED!
I would probably start getting scared that we won't be able to go back to normal. I would also probably not know what to do next. It would be so bad.
I would probably flee from my home to a hotel in a safer area or I would go to a relatives house. No matter what you would do it would be very scary though.
graded
I would also probably not know what to do nexIf I lived in NO, i wouldve gotten out there after hurricane katrina. I mean, theyre BELOW sea level. and I wouldn't ever be able to get over the flood.
courtney-ya i think i would get scared if we couldent get back to being scared
@ Julia
Your right there really would be only one choice. You would have to really love your house for you to stay. Even then to risk your life for that?
I would move to china if that would to happend because i would make more firends. also it would give more time to lean chinese.
go china
I think I would be a little scared, and upset that this would be happeing, and I would not know what to do because I have never experianced a flood before.
@ Jenn
Even if they could swim they could still drown. If the water was strong enough even the best swimmers could drown.
@Mauricio, Courtenty
Would you try to run? Or try to wait the flood out?
Graded
The flood would totally destroy everything and goin bak to normal would be very hard
I would be most likely freaking out! i wouldnt know what to do if the water levels were that high here.
@Andie
I agree i would have no idea what to do.
Graded:
I feel sorry for those who lost their homes in the flood, I would maybe move were there's no flooding and forgit about it all or I would help build the homes for people.
Allison Johnson
I would probably gather as much stuff possible and leave. and stay with a relative.
@Savard Samantha
I would hate to see the damage and injuries of those people, I can bearly think about it.
GRADED!
It really depends on if it rains again. If it affected your house I would move because there might be more rain and it could badly damage your house or just take some things and go to a friends house for a few days. If its not affecting you always be ready for it.

@ luke i would of gotten outof there to
i wouldnt know what to do if my house started to flood..or even my city! if there was that much water i would probably go stay in a different city, if i could drive through the water that is.
i wouldnt be scared i would probable get some swim trunks on and go swimming in my backyard that would be flooded.
@Peters, Jennifer
Even if they could swim then they would still be dragged under, I mean the current is frigging strong as heck! Thats obviously something I don't want to face.
@Henry Minning
Yeah now that I think about it I would be worried about health too. I mean think about the diseases and stuff the river may be carrying along with all the litter and junk. Dang. Then the city getting back to normal would be tough, it would take money, and time.

i saw the ohio river 1 week ago and it was so high it was like the opefnokey swamp in floiroda. sorry for spelling.
i dont know what i would do thers not much u can do to aviod a flood except get to high ground. and i want to know y theres so much rain we've already gotten more than a years worth of rain and several places r flooded the world's gotta be running out of water to drop on us because it's not like it's evaporating because we havn't gotten sunshine for days and the water just keep's coming.
@sam savard
yeah it must be pretty bad, it kinda makes u feel worse since they did nothing to deserve all there houses, possesions, and family washed away
GRADED:
If I were in this situation I would be worried an a little confused. I wouldn't really know what to do besides go to a shelter.
@Courtney
I wouldn't know what to do next ether, but the residents in Memphis would probably help you so you know what to do.
Graded
i would probably leave the town. there is a really dangerous situation right now and the crazy part is that the basketball team is playing basketball in there arena while this is happening
@ Arin
I dont think it is that severe killing somebody you know but i dont know
i would be scared that everything would be gone and that only son little would and could be done about it and that we would lose so many friends and family in this disaster!
I mean that place is below see level and heavy rains or flooding happening all the time!
