Nashville received between 12-18" of rain over the weekend, and now the Cumberland River is cresting at over 50 feet. Several dozen people have died and countless homes and businesses have been affected. I personally have 2 friends whose family-owned business is submerged to 8 feet. Due to other big news stories this weekend (Times Square bombing attempt/arrest, Oil Leak) this has not received the national attention that it warrants.
Below is a link to pictures of downtown, the Grand Ol' Opry, Opryland Hotel, LP Field (where the Tennessee Titans play), Country Music Hall of Fame and many other landmarks. These do not include the many, many neighborhoods that are under water.
So very sad. HOpefully those who have lost everything can get help through the Red Cross and other service organizations.
