Flood of 2010

Here are a few video links of the Flood in Nashville, TN and surrounding areas. This hits a little to close to home. I can't believe we live one hour away from this. The last I heard 19 people lost their lives in the flood. I am so afarid after the water resides many more bodies will be found in cars, homes and other buildings.

This happened so quickly. I can't imagine what was going thru the peoples minds when they were on the interstates and it started flooding. I have never seen anything like this before. Cars stuck on the interstate and people trying to escape before it was to late. We sat at home Saturday watching it LIVE and were in total shock.



I am trying to figure out how to post some videos but here are some links to show you the devastation of Nashville and surrounding areas.





This clip is of the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center. These came from The Tennessean.com

On top of all of this devastation alot of the people do not have Flood Insurance and have lost everything they owned. Please keep the people of Tennessee in your prayers.
