This weekend three major news stories hit America – chances are you only heard about two.Amidst the news of a car bomb attempt in New York City and the oil slick inching towards the Gulf Coast, the flood that has devastated Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas got lost.National news outlets are reporting the story, but the damage is far, far worse than viewers are hearing. Parts of Downtown Nashville are under almost a foot of water. Surrounding areas are devasted. The Opryland Resort is filled with 10 feet of water – these videos give you an idea of how bad it is:The Cumberland River crested 24 hours later than expected, but four feet higher than predicted. The city’s water supply could be in jeopardy. In a story in the Tennessean, said Scott Potter, head of Metro Water Services. “The next 24 hours are critical. If the Omohundro [water treatment facility] goes down, we go to bottled water.” The Nashville goverment has issued a press release stating that the water supply remains safe but they are asking residents to conserve water to avoid a water shortage.To give you an idea of how fast the water came, my friend Kevin Sparkman sent me this video. He said less than 5 hours after this video was taken, the rock quarry was filled.This video is from Antioch, outside of Nashville:Right now, the folks in Nashville need your prayers – and cash.
