  • When you hear of people drowning and you think "wouldn't happen to me, i'd be long gone before the water got high", this video puts into perspective that sometimes there is no warning and no escape.
  • Prayers to everyone. I have to note that I think the news interviewer had an aware respect and genuine kindness in his manner that you don’t see anymore. Thanks for this kind of reporting.
  • People underestimate the power of fast flowing water; it doesn't even have to be that deep.

    For everybody asking, "Where is Waverly?" It's in the middle of Tennessee.

    Bless this man Michael and his family

    It is heartbreaking that this man lost everything and two relatives as well. I hate that he and so many others are going through this kind of tragedy
  • @rosierosie7436
    Such a reserved man for having gone thru so much with his family. And he had to lose family on top of everything. I hate that he and so many had such hardship. My prayers to them all...🙏

    So sorry. He seems like a nice person. I’m glad he is safe.

    Kudos to this news coverage---it was a caring way to speak, and yet gave us an incredible view and understanding of just how quickly this developed. I love this man's answer too: "Please just continue with the prayers". God Bless. I will continue with my prayers.

    Definitely the definition of a flash flood. My heart goes out to the friends & family who lost loved ones 😔

    10 minutes!!! Just 10 minutes!!! Even seeing the time stamp it's hard to believe it only took 10 minutes.
  • @amydavis4945
    The surveillance camera shows the water just starting at about 1 minute after 10.... by 10 after, it had reached peak. That's just crazy fast. I feel so bad for everyone there!

    People who give up in life are people who lose inlife, my first experience happens to be a failure but I never gave up cause I knew it was going to work out for me trying continuously, fortunately I'm smiling today by getting involved in investment.. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
  • @sandythomas4450

    He was very wise to not get in the water! Prayers for this family and others as they try to rebuild their lives.
