The Tennessee Flood of 2010

If you haven't heard by now, there has been significant flooding in Tennessee due to over 2 days of constant rain. The Cumberland River crested today at 52 feet, when it was at 18 feet on Friday. There has been severe damage to so many homes, businesses, and landmarks. Despite the devastation, the people of Nashville have rallied together to help one another. Seeing how people have stepped up to lend their time and resources has really made me proud to live in the Volunteer State. Here are some photos from the flooding.

Water was almost to the road when we drove by and it was still rising.
