Martin Kove’s Flood Survival Story | Tucson News

Martin Kove’s Tennessee home was swallowed by sudden floodwaters—so bad a river appeared out of nowhere—leaving him, his girlfriend, and a tiny pup named Winston stranded until heroic first responders rescued them. Kove praised the crews for risking their lives to save him and his loved ones. Reflecting on the devastation, he noted it’s the first major flood in five years and suspects rampant development—concrete replacing forests—is worsening runoff. Meanwhile, Franklin pushes ahead with infrastructure projects like a new road over I-65 and a bridge replacement aimed at improving drainage and relocating homes from flood zones. Kove’s property stayed dry, but not without losing fencing and outdoor gear. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
