Floods In Nashville--Devastating

The rains came down in Nashville on Saturday harder than anyone can remember. By Saturday night, one of the bedroom communities was shut down because of flooding, and two interstates were flooded. On Sunday, the devastation grew as the waters rose, and subdivisions were underwater. People were rescued by boats, taken to shelters, and were recovering from losing their homes and possessions. Some lost their lives. The national media was not covering the severity of the event. Now it is Thursday, and the waters are receding. Homes have been cleared out, and life is starting to get back to normal. But for the people who lost everything, real recovery will take a long time.
