Thank the Lord, our house made it out with practically no damage at all!... But others we not as lucky!.... Here are some pictures just to give you an idea of the flooding that has happened in our beloved Nashville...
This is a picture of one of the interstates... Several parts of the interstate were closed & are still closed because they are under water!... There were people stranded on the interstate for over 5 hours!...
So many people lost EVERYTHING this weekend!... I don't even know how many people's homes were flooded...
A lot of people had to be water rescued from flooded homes & cars! Right now about 30,000 people are without electric, water or phone service... 11 people have died as a result of the water!
Most all schools are closed today because of the rain! {Never in my life, do I remember schools closing due to rain!}... Sadly, there are several schools that are flooded!... On the news, we all watched a school portable being ripped off its foundation & started floating down the interstate... only to be demolished by the current of the water!... UNBELIEVABLE!!...
This is a picture of a school campus... It's completely flooded...
This is the town next to where we live... This is a picture of the square in downtown Lebanon- under water!...
So many businesses were flooded around town too!!...
And one of the saddest of them all... The riverfront in the heart of downtown Nashville is 50 FEET ABOVE FLOOD LEVEL!!!... The Cumberland River has started to cover 1st Ave and started flooding historic downtown establishments like the Wildhorse Saloon!... Even Opryland Hotel had to evacuate all of it's guest!...
Only time will tell really how much devastation there was here and the total loss! One thing is for sure though... We can't thank God enough that all our family & friends made it through safe & with little or no damage at all! {Hallelujah!}
