UPDATE: Art Rogue lives in one of the flood-prone industrial areas around the Cumberland, and he reports on the rising river below in the comments section of this post. He also links to a video made during the May flood from his home. We welcome further updates from Art Rogue.
If anyone else reading Enclave lives close to the river, please update us in the comments section below or send me an e-mail and I'll post it here.

I took this video probably right after his http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp0yqSxHTGU
