Waters



Beautiful video of the horror that happened in Nashville.

A hockey blogger wonders why the rest of the country didn't notice as his city drowned.

"The Cumberland River crested at its highest level in over 80 years. Nashville had its highest rainfall totals since

records began. People drowned. Billions of dollars in damage occurred. It is the single largest disaster to hit Middle Tennessee since the Civil War. And yet…no one knows about it."

Southern beale tells us about her neighbors who drowned.

"They were wonderful people. She was an animal lover who took in strays--five cats and two dogs. We talked a lot about how our pets were like our kids. He was the barbecue king: in the spring he’d pull out a giant smoker and fill the neighborhood with the most delicious smells. He had a killer barbecue sauce recipe which he promised to share with us, teasing that the secret was 'a splash of bourbon.' I never got that recipe. "
