Murfreesboro home floods, owner wonders what to do without flood insurance

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Murfreesboro family is left wondering what to do next after their home flooded.

The family sent us this picture of their home on Brink Bend Ct. when more than a foot of water poured in. Owner Marsia Miller said the house has been in the family since 1998. She said it flooded once before in 2021, but this is the worst they've seen it.

Marsia said they are not covered by flood insurance, and they're not in a floodplain. She called this a very difficult situation, and they're not sure what steps they should take.

Blind woman entertains assisted living neighbors, plays seven instruments

“I’ve never met anyone like Tennie.”

That’s how one neighbor at Stones River Manor in Murfreesboro describes Tennie Fitzpatrick, who has mastered as many as seven different musical instruments. Each day, Tennie shares those talents with residents, workers and visitors. It’s an ability Tennie herself believes is “a gift from God.” That’s because Tennie is blind, and overcame a difficult, abusive childhood.  Forrest Sanders shares this truly inspirational story.
