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!

It's good to hear people can act civilized for once.

The only thing we might be jealous of is the music but since we are the home of the blues we win that also. hehehehehe

You forgot Hippie, commie and pinko.

You're slipping.
 
Yep, I got lucky because I lived in a place that did not get any accumulation. The other day, I went to help a family in my BF's Boy Scouts Troop, and their house was devastated. I was helping dry out their great grandmother's diary, family photos, grandfather's dissertation, but many of their other keepsakes were destroyed, and it was very sad.

Many people in the area here didn't have flood insurance because they were told they didn't live in a Flood zone, and so I'm hoping things are going to work out to help them get back on their feet.

Yep, that is sad. Glad to hear you are ok though.

We are coming together and helping each other, and it is very incredible.

We are called the Volunteer State, and it has never been truer than now.
 
Friends of my friend that live in Nashville said that there has been looting in their neighborhood.

They just aren't getting the same press on it.

Interesting.
 
My sister and her family live in a suburb called Brentwood, which has been largely unaffected. Not so in the Belle Meade section, which is where we lived for three years in the 1970s.
