Tennessee family builds levee to protect home from floodwaters

Severe flooding in Tennessee submerged neighborhoods, but a family in Ridgely successfully protected their home with a homemade levee system, as depicted in aerial footage by Randy Moore. While over 100 residents were rescued in nearby Bogota and at least 10 fatalities were reported due to the extreme weather, the Ridgely family’s proactive measures served as a testament to resilience and preparedness. The flooding, caused by significant rainfall across multiple states, led to mandatory evacuations and widespread damage.
