The Flood of 2010!
I can't believe that Middle Tennessee could be so ignored by the national media. Basically no one outside of Middle Tennessee is aware that we had a flood of epic proportions over the weekend. We sustained 20" of rain in some areas, massive flooding. Loss of lives, loss of businesses, many areas do not have clean drinking water, nor electricity. Roads are damaged and unpassable in some areas, bridges are compromised, many, many have lost their homes and cars.
Please spread the word, in case everyone doesn't grasp the severity of what's going on in Middle Tennessee. Temporary shelters are at capacity, missing people are unaccounted for, many homes are under water, there is a water conservation emergency in Davidson County and some surrounding counties, much of Nashville's economic base is threatened by flood damage. Flood damage is widespread and of epic proportions. You can text 'REDCROSS' to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief.
I am very thankful to have not had to evacuate my family and to not sustain flood damage. But many people have suffered much. The economic impace, truthfully, will far surpass that of Hurricane Katrina. The area impacted and number of people will be much greater. Thankfully there will not be the extreme numbers of loss of life, but any loss is still loss.
It would be very nice if the national media would focus on it just for a minute to let the rest of the world outside our immediate area at least recognize that this has occured.
