9. SOUNDBITE (English) Domanic Scott, son of a Rives resident:

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Domanic Scott, son of a Rives resident:
“It’s the first house that we’ve ever paid off and the city of Rives does not allow, or insurance companies around here do not insure flood insurance on anybody that lives in Rives because we’re too close to the river and the levees. So if it does lose it, we’re kind of screwed without a house.”

STORYLINE:
Rives, a small town in northwest Tennessee, was almost entirely underwater on Sunday after a nearby river overflowed following recent rainfall.
Many of the town’s 200 residents had evacuated at the request of the fire department, but some decided to stay in their homes.
Sheriff’s deputies are stationed around the town’s perimeter to prevent people from entering.
Domanic Scott came to visit after not hearing from his father, James Scott, who lives in the area.
"He may well have evacuated. I just haven’t been able to reach him and I’m just getting back into town," Scott said.
Rives already experienced flooding in February after the levee failed, forcing evacuations and damaging dozens of homes.
