My God, Jen. Please. Call that a clothesline prayer.This was after she was pulled under the water around midnight on November 5, 1985.
The flood was intense, with
rain pounding like Hell’s drumlineand the river behaving like
a rabid dog. The mobile home, belonging to her father Rob Roy Watkins, was no match for the floodwaters.
