So, as most people know, Tennesse was hit by a massive flood on Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2. It was just so surreal! For about 3 days straight I was glued to the local news watching Nashville sink further and further under water.
Nolensvile flooded Saturday and then again on Sunday, but the water receded fairly fast, which a lot of people can't say. We were all fine, but mom and dad couldn't get out of their driveway on Saturday. Below are 2 pictures from Nolensville from Saturday afternoon.
Mom and dad had a total of 14 inches at their house between the 2 days. Nashville doesn't even average 14 inches of rain in the month of May! Papaw would say that when it rained on the first of May, it would rain for 2 weeks....lets hope that's incorrect!
Nashville was hit the hardest. My exit for work was completely covered and I think it just reopened today. The back parking lot was flooded and Monday the few who did venture down here, which did not include me, was sent home at 11:00 because the water was still rising and the front of the office was under water to. We did go back to work on Wednesday, but it's just so quiet in Nashville, so unreal! The 2nd picture is from my back parking lot at work Monday morning....and the water was still rising!!!
Lastly, I posted a video. It shows everything in Nashville. The first bridge in the slide show is the bridge I take to work everyday. It's crazy. I'm just waiting to break down and cry. This is my city and I love it. I'm proud to call Tennessee home and so proud of the way people have stepped up. This weekend I'm planning on volunteering with work to help some of the people here who've lost everything. We have 5 people who lost their whole house and cars!!!
If you ignore everything else on this page, watch the video....it's amazing!
