Tennessee family's levee protected home from floods

A Tennessee family saved their home from devastating floods by constructing a personal levee, while surrounding properties were submerged. The floods, which began on April 8th, caused widespread damage. The family's home in Ridgely remained dry amid the floodwaters, a stark contrast to the surrounding inundated properties. Over 100 residents were trapped, and the floods resulted from overflowing rivers. The severe storms across the Midwest last week caused at least 21 deaths, with Tennessee reporting 10 fatalities. Authorities issued evacuation orders and rescued residents by boat.
