Flood of 2010!


It began on May 2, 2010... Rain fell hard on Middle Tennessee and kept falling. By May 3, Nashville was declared a State of Emergency. Lives have been taken, and homes have been damaged or lost. It is a disaster. The photo above is a look at down Nashville next to the river...

              Here are more photos found from flickr of Nashville.




These next photos are from the Tennesseean covering all areas the flood touched. Destruction is the word...

It will take a while to bring this disaster to an end. Many have suffered losses. We will have to fight to bring our communities back to the ability to function normally again. We will have to stand up for each other in these times and help out our neighbors, family, friends, and strangers. We're all in this together, and together we will stand. I just pray that this will cause us all to look up to the King and stand up for Him while we stand together.
