What an event. What a weekend.
Shannon was in the hospital at Centennial waiting for Ellie Grace to arrive - Don & Shelly were there, too and decided it would be fine to drive home (a 4o minute drive turning into 3 hours).
Matt & Rachel were shopping at Opry Mills in Nashville then coming to the 'boro.
We were camped out at the house praying for all of those we knew that were so many different places.
Such a scary, scary day. And images that I will never, ever, ever forget - like the trailer from a school floating down the interstate. People getting out of their cars so they aren't washed away as they try to make it to the median. Roads turning into lakes as quick as anything as you watch the tv in disbelief. The whole time you watch helplessly wishing you could jump in the tv and carry them to safety.
I am so proud of Nashville showing everyone the sense of community when dealing with such a heartbreaking event. Celebrities hosted concerts to raise money. Companies shut down so employees could help with clean up. I am SO PROUD to be from the South!
A friend posted this video on facebook to show the impact this flood had. It is so hard to watch knowing this is only 30 minutes away and the place many people I love call home.
