As many know Nashville was our home for three years before we moved to NJ. This past weekend Nashville and the surrounding areas were hit by flash floods. Unfortunately the disaster in the Gulf Coast and the Time Square bombing have received all the media’s attention. Many people are just now hearing about the floods and the devastation that hit Middle Tennessee.
Here is a video an old co-worker of mine put together from the first two days of the flood. Also please view these photos of the devastation taken by AP photographers and the like.
Please dig deep to donate to the relief efforts. It is going to take months to repair the damage. Here are two links that are reputable (Anthony and I volunteered with HON many times while we lived there) Hands on Nashville and Cool People Care
