flood day 3

Downtown is buzzing with people trying to get a glimpse of it all, news crews reporting around the clock, photos being snapped, and people trying to be helpful if possible. Helicopters are circling from above, and generators are working overtime to pump water out.

One quarter of the annual rainfall for this area fell in just two days. May has quickly become a record breaking month. Nashville submitted paperwork today to request federal aid. Twenty-four hours after the rainfall stopped, the Cumberland finally crested last night and has started to recede...



The Country Music Hall of Fame is several streets in from the River...

An architecture firm that moved everything out in a hurry Monday... the building backs up to a lake now.
