We are in the midst of cleaning up from one of the worst disasters to hit this state in forever. There was no looting, no killing, no acting like morons.
There was neighbor helping neighbor. Even when faced with our own issues we were able to help others.
The national media attention that we got on this was so minimal compared to the 24/7 coverage of the Katrina flood in New Orleans.
We are having our own fundraisers to help with the effort, but I don't hear plans for a national fund raiser. (Does Kanye hate Tennesseans?)
Anyway, the point is that I am very proud of the way my neighbors responded to this event and are still responding.
Most of the major tourist attractions have been damaged and will be a long while before being able to reopen. Economically this will be devastating to our economy, over and above the damage from the floods alone which is already estimated over a billion dollars.
Again, way to got Nashville. You've done Tennessee proud!
