90-year-old man survives by riding out Waverly flood in mobile home

Among the personal stories of survival in Waverly, is a 90-year-old man who says he had no choice but to stay in his mobile home, facing an ever-increasing threat of drowning.

[@Dobviews]

Bless his heart, he likely lost everything. Any info on how to send him money to help. We should take care of our elderly.

[@donnagpalk912]

Buddy McNabb. Lives on Joe street. Dont know where he is now). My sister just moved out of that house next to him. You can contact the Sherriff's office and they probably can refer you how to help him. It will definitely get to him..So good of you wanting to help him. He needs it losing everything.. God bless you. Waverly Tennessee proud.🙏🏻

[@karenmorrisette5027]

It WAS a gorgeous town, I grew up there from 62-80. The only other disaster we had was an propane explosion in 1978, leveled half the town. We're a strong resilient ppl. We built back then and we'll build back this time. Google "Waverly train derailment 1978"....😢

[@brownlove6138]

I'm so thankful that he is OK But to take that chance. God said use wisdom. And everything that we Do. Crossing the street you gonna look both ways. God gives me common sense to do that I wouldn't gamble lose in my life. there's other ways to prove that God is good.. God want us to use wisdom.. Be safe be blessed.

Good for him, he needed a thrill. He seems like the kind of guy that appreciates an out of the ordinary event. Don't want anything bad happening to him but he probably deserves some excitement after putting up with 90 years of this life, not going out bored to tears (literally) like most do.

[@shadrachification]

He seems like a very humble man who has learnt to put his faith and trust in God....and God spared him for some more years for some reason...HUMILITY ..a beautiful thing

Hello dear

[@terriecotham1567]

Mother nature can be like a wild bull at times, it was the flood in Nashville that wipe out Cornelia Fort airport and put an end to a long history of Cole mill aircraft modes and gave Opry Mills mall a hard blow along with many Nashville homes. If you look at the phots of the event there amazing just like the ones hear or other parts of the world were mother nature has let loose hear furry of wind, rain, floods or Volcano's sending sending ash so high it can choke the life out of a any aircraft flying in it like the 4 engine jet who lose one engine after another. It left the crew fighting to restart the engines and no ideals why the quit, Luck one by one the engines came back to life as the dust left them but not before giving the crew a night flight there never for Get. looking at a night water landing . Mother nature a loving mom and a witch all in the same body for she can be so sweet and be so harmful as well in just no time. Bless all who live through this and thanks to all that jump in to help as well
