Rising water on a local river has cut off the only road onto this peninsula. Debris along the riverbank has also prevented a ferry from docking at its usual location. Area residents will remain isolated until the river recedes enough for the ferry to dock or for the road to be used.
Local officials report everyone has power, food and is receiving water and medical care.
The Tennessee National Guard has now been released and Union County officials are supporting the area with any required critical life support. One, a fixed site, is set to open in east Nashville today, while a mobile center will serve outlying areas following its outfitting later this week. SBA disaster loan workshops have been scheduled for Maury, Lawrence, Wayne, and Pickett counties beginning today.
