Sunny and dry didn't last long

It's Sat and it's raining. We're near Jackson TN at a state park. We're about 120 miles from Memphis. This area really doesn't need more rain. Memphis is flooding right now. The Mississippi River is at record highs.
We've been here several times and weekends in May are always booked but I guess with the ecomony and all the rain this area has had most people stayed away. We're surprised to see it so empty. About two yrs ago we had a rally here during this week in May and the place was packed.. If I remember correctly it rained on us all that week too. I don't remember this much rain in TN in May when we lived here but it must be something I've chosen to forget.
No plans yet on where we're heading when we leave here. We're going to hang out here till the floods are over. I-40 between Memphis and Little Rock is closed cause of the flooding. We've got friends west of Little Rock heading this way but they're trying to find other routes cause of the road closings.
