Nashville Flood May 1-3, 2010

Everyone questioned how did a city no where near water flood??? We have many lakes, rivers, and streams. Also the landscape of Middle Tennessee is made up of hills and valleys, add gravity and 15+ inches of water in 2 days to the equation; a lot of water in a short time period water will move to the lowest point and gather thus causing floods. Most rivers and lakes already sit at the lowest point therefore they will rise due to the accumulation of rain.

This is the rain wall moving across Middle Tennessee on May 2 the SECOND day of raining.

We were ignored by the media. How do I know this???? Because my family in other cities didn't even know. They didn't know to be alarmed. Didn't know to call and check on us. But we survived no blame on anyone. We will and have moved on. But just to give you and idea of what happened here's some pictures

BEFORE

AFTER

Now this is only a shot of the skyline but Middle Tennessee was impacted as a whole. Nashville, Franklin, Bellevue, Antioch, Dickson, Belle Meade and the list goes on. I am proud of the recovery efforts that has been made by us that were affected and the outside agencies that came to our aid. It will take a while before we have a since of ''normalcy". We still need to help each other rebuild our great city. Nashville is my second home and I love it even though I complain.
