Do these small towns even have equipment to measure that much rain. Not to belittle it, because I've seen it in person, but some of the media always seems to be in a contest to outdo the other network. A storm like this can take lives, but it destroys lives by robbing many of everything they own. People who live payday to payday may not have a payday next week. All of their personal possessions, including pictures, great grandma's rocker, etc. are forever gone. They can't go to the neighbors because they are in the same boat. Govt help sometimes takes months, even years to be distributed leaving the persons needing the help on the side of the road! God help them!
