Flooding in Nashville



One thunderstorm after another for the past two days, and it is not safe to drive out to see what is happening. My apartment is on a hill, but the house I once owned is in a neighborhood reported to be under water. I hear one siren after another coming down Old Hickory Boulevard. A friend who lives on Huntwick Trail says the road to her house is a river, and that she has no power. I have lived here almost thirty years, and have never seen flooding like this. I took the photo off my porch. At one point the wind was blowing so hard it was pushing the water in the parking lot uphill! If it ever stops raining I may walk down to Highway 100 to see what the Harpeth River is doing.
