Nashville Flood

Let's keep Nashville in our thoughts and prayers, and for those able to help, one way is to donate through the Red Cross....text REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10 to relief efforts.

"The Cumberland River crested at its highest level in over 80 years. Nashville had its highest rainfall totals since records began. People drowned. Billions of dollars in damage occurred. It is the single largest disaster to hit Middle Tennessee since the Civil War. And yet…no one knows about it."

The water got up to the door of our family business, but didn't get in beyond wetting the carpet by the doors a little. We were lucky. There is a new Salvation Army just across the street that is a total loss. When they built it, they asked about flood insurance and the salesman told them there was absolutely no use because they weren't in a flood area. So many people lost everything. There are houses under water in areas where flood insurance is unheard of.
