Major flooding in downtown as the Cumberland River has reached an all time high 10 feet over flood stage and is expected to crest even higher by Tuesday. 11 deaths in and around the city so far today because of high water.1500 visitors at the Opera Land hotel had to be evacuated Sunday. Major roads closed and under water. Saturday evening 138 cars and trucks were trapped on Interstate 24. One person was drown in their vehicle.

All local TV stations covered the flood and cancelled there regular programs. We missed the American Great Race for the first time ever. Our heart and prayers go out to those effected by this great disaster.

ReplyDeleteI was held up for a day, waiting for I-40 to open. I had to get to Memphis, to get to the Mississippi town I had to deliver at. Went through on Monday afternoon, and it was still amazing on how high the rivers and creeks still were. Say much evidence of where water had gone across the road. Had someone say that they saw one of our company trucks in one of the news shots. Wasn't me. True my truck could use a bath, but think I'll say with the truck washes.
