Bridge built out of trailers
“I have to highlight this! Talk about hillbilly ingenuity, I can say that I am one too lol, the great folks in Poga, Tn built a bridge out of trailers and it has worked well enough to bring heavy equipment in and out and what is nicknamed, now, Bob’s island. The bridge on the other side has blown out.
* For more context, 16 families were trapped on the other side of that with no electricity, water, medication, or food. There is no other way out and they sure weren’t gonna make the elderly, sick, and children try to cross the river.
Awesome idea, considering very limited supplies and time!”

What is sad, though, is that they still have not recovered all the deceased.
Thank you for posting this. Where there's a will, there's a way.
