Well, they're on the road now and about 160 miles east of Memphis, via an alternate route as I-40 is still flooded here and there. All is well, they say.

Many roads are flooded and it looks like they're gonna be stuck there at least thru today.

I miss her emails, but probably now is not the best time to bug her about it! Janice From: bobby jim Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2010 7:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [TMIC] Travellin' woes (dang weather) As y'all know, Barbara Alma and her hubby are on a cross country tour and are now heading back to the West Coast, except.......: dem dang torrencial rains we've been having here abouts in these past threee dayze have made a big lake out of I-40 west of Nashville, so now, on their way to Memphis, they're having to spend tonight in a shelter at mile marker 197. And that means 197 miles east of Memphis. The policeman they were takling to earlier had to go out on a boat to rescue those stranded in the water. So much for a visit to Graceland tomorrow morning. oh well But she asked me to tell y'all that they're both well, dry, with a place to spend the night, and a whole bunch more of stranded travellers to keep them company. I'll be talking to her again tomorrow morning, and report afterwards. Bobby Jim in wet soggy Elvisland, nope we got no tornadoes, not this time.
