Nashville is Underwater…

So the weather has been absolutely crazy here in Nashville this weekend.

Although surrounding areas were underwater early Saturday evening, my neighborhood seemed to be fine other than heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Then, Sunday morning we got a phone call from our good friends/neighbor telling us to move our car out of the street. We looked outside, and my car was already 4 feet underwater! I wanted to just go back to sleep, but Randy put on swim shorts and decided to go walk around and talk to the neighbors. Kids were swimming in the street (which is disgusting) and people were gathered on their porches watching the water rush down the street. We are very fortunate that our house stayed dry, and there was very minimal damage. Others were not so fortunate. People got stranded on the interstates and lost their vehicles, lot of people were evacuated to shelters, and houses all over were flooded and severly damaged.

Nashvillest has been doing an awesome job of keeping us updated, and @Nashvillest on Twitter has been sending frequent updates on volunteer/donation information.

Anyways, here are some photos we took of our neighborhood yesterday, and a few of downtown today. I am so thankful to be safe and dry!
