I gotta say it. I'm very proud of Nashville!

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.

Well, I live here and have not heard a single case of it. Unless there was an isolated case of a moron doing it.

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.

Brentwood got through pretty much but there was areas of Franklin that got hammered. Franklin is right next door to Brentwood.

One more thing. If you like country music check out

He just wrote and recorded a song about the flood and is free for downloading.

If you would like to help you can text REDCROSS to 90999 and there will be a 10.00 donation that will go to help with the efforts here in Nashville. It will appear on your cell phone bill.

I hope this isn't against forum rules posting this.

Thanks to Yeager for the heads up on the John Rich link.

You don't hear about it, because you are too busy doing it.

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.

Probably because the severity isn't on par with Katrina.

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?)

They had a celebrity telethon last night. Read that Taylor swift donated 500K. Pretty awesome on her part.

I think the difference is that we were much better organized. I wouldn't say it was more sever because there is literally billions lost in terms of damage and lost revenue. It will have a major impact.

And Taylor is a very special young lady. I am so impressed with where her head is at for such a young person.

There's another fundraiser going on with profits going to several local orgs and the Red Cross here if you purchase a "I <3 nashville" and H2010 Flood relief t-shirt.

Can't imagine you'd be too proud of these criminals.
