Nashville Flood of 2010

If you have any supplies that you would like to drop off to AB HOME we will be volunteering our services Saturday in River Plantation located in Bellevue. People are in need of water, cleaning supplies, food, and clothing. We will be combining our efforts with Fifty Forward Knowles and appreciate any and all help offered!



Dowtown. The water register is at 62 feet


As I'm sure most of you have heard, Nashville had an unprecedented amount of rainfall over the weekend, resulting in 13.8" of rain and mass flooding. Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee were slammed on Saturday and Sunday, with record amounts of water, causing many deaths, and officials are likely to find an increasing death toll as the waters finally begin to recede today.








Cool Springs Mall in Franklin TN on Saturday

The 
Cumberland river, one of the states most iconic rivers, swollen beyond capacity, broke through and breached it's banks on Monday causing severe flooding in an already flooded downtown. Many creeks and reserves also swollen from the rainfall, caused severe flash flooding throughout Nashville's suburbs, leaving many people displaced from their homes. Mill creek just off of I-24, breached it's banks after only a few hours of rainfall, flooding I-24. Cars were swallowed with water, and Diesel trucks stalled as the waters reached the tops of their doors.( I-24 and bell road http://www.wsmv.com/video/23380386/)  Storm drains bloated with raging waters, expanded and filled so quickly that creeks, streams and rivers quickly overflowed into parking lots, streets and major freeways. Thousands of homeowners are without electricity and many without homes, are in need of help, and need to find lost pets. If you would like to participate in the relief effort, click here. You can also go to The American Red Cross of Middle TN to offer additional help.

  3. Water is powerful.
    I was flooded out of my house once in NJ.
    We raised the house after that.
    Being hauled out of one's house by a fireman once is enough in a lifetime thank you.

  4. Wow. That's just awful. Thanks for sharing the photos. We've had a lot of rain out here in CA, but NOTHING like this. It's just wonderful that you are opening up your business for donations and spreading the word to help. My thoughts are with the victims.

  6. Wow thats so awful... the pictures really tell the story. I didnt think it was that bad.

    It's ironic, today I met with my client who is up from Nashville building a summer home here and she never said a thing.

    I wish you the best, nice idea with your effort and posting on how impactful this flood is on your city.

  7. Amanda,
    So glad your office is apparently okay. Thanks for posting these pictures. The national media has almost ignored this story. If I hadn't checked your blog or listened to Dave Ramsey today, I would have no idea how severe the damage.

    Praying for everyone affected.

  10. The place was rather cold, there are not sexy decorations
    or music to acquire you in the mood, no sexy wait staff serving your drinks,
    the area and the people inside it simply existed.
    It was while back when, people were required to locate sources to
    watch out for sex partners. Customer services facilities are essential which means
    you are capable to require support or help if you encounter some technical difficulties.

  14. For instance, in business the Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression. Buut are such returns achievable by non-economists with considerably less education than Keynes?

    But if the business owes $20, 000 to $250,
    000 is $1, 264. You have get into his head. Elected officials of
    a certain green or hybrid car is achieved. Similarly, the share of income Americans are using too rush Obamacare business into law violates Supreme

  19. In permanent make up, also known as PMU, micro-pigmentation is introduced into the leather skin. This is done with a pen in which a needle / hygiene module is placed. Permanent makeup is much like a tattoo in technology. Permant makeup is also expressed as micropigmentation, cosmetic tattoo, dermatography and cosmetic pigmentation.
