Water update

We got out today to run some errands. Our neighbor had just re-graveled the driveway two weeks ago for the first time since it was originally graveled 9 years ago, and it is completely washed away in two places. I guess if that's the worst we have to deal with we are very lucky.

So many people's homes have been flooded, several people have drowned, and downtown Nashville is under water as the Cumberland River has gone over the banks. Also, the Opryland Hotel is completely flooded. It is so devastating! Just to give you an idea of what it looks like, the following is a video shot from the traffic camera above the interstate between us and downtown Nashville on Saturday. A house is actually floating down it. Click HERE. You can also navigate other videos on the WSMV page for videos of downtown and Opryland Hotel footage.
