We had one. Pretty epic. It's way worse than even I realized that it was. I took a whore-bath today in my efforts to conserve water. They are surprisingly refreshing!
I wish I had lots of facts for all of you non-Nashvillians to inform you about our recent hardships, but I don't. I do know that the damage wasn't spread evenly. Some parts of town look completely normal and other parts are still underwater.
Thankfully my home is fine and everyone that I know is safe, but that's not the case for many. This guy sums it up nicely:
Almost all of the bloggers in my blog roll have addressed the issue much more eloquently than I have here. I urge you to check out And Another Thing and The Blonde Mule in particular.
My office organized volunteer activities for tomorrow afternoon, so I think that that's when it's really going to hit home. I'm glad to be able to do something.
People outside of this area don't realize how bad it was, mainly for all the reasons I love living here. People helping people just doesn't make the headlines like looting and other assorted social calamities.
