Lori Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 A buddy in Tennessee informs me via Twitter that the water has now hit Row 3 (and rising) at LP Field, and that the Predators' arena is also flooding. Along with countless area businesses and homes, of course, for those not preoccupied with the sports angle. I know there are several TBDers in that part of the world, and that y'all are probably doing more important things than messing around on a Bills message board right now. Just wanted to send some thoughts your way. Check in when you can, and let us know if there's any way we can help. Also want to send a shoutout to Paul Kuharsky, ESPN's AFC South guy. While he was stuck at Jags minicamp this weekend, his wife and infant son were at home in Nashville, and I know he was plenty worried about them. Hope all's well.
BuffaloBill Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 I lived for a year in the Music City. This is a sad situation and is often the case those with the least economic means are bearing the worst of the flooding.
Tortured Soul Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 It's shocking how little national attention this is getting.
realtruelove Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 It's shocking how little national attention this is getting. I am also amazed how little I am seeing about this in the national media. It's a real disaster. I never thought I would see the Cumberland river rise to flood the city of Nashville. I would be interested to hear someone else's opinion on why this is. My theory is that the people here are extremely industrious and will clean up and rebuild, without fanfare or looking for a free hand out. The national media is looking for something more controversial than that.

jan Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 It's shocking how little national attention this is getting. My sister lives in Bellvue area. Her home was submerged & she has lost everything. Said she was able to salvage a few baby pix of her kids. She spent yesterday & today tossing her belonging out of the house for the dumpsters. I had no idea this was happening until she called to tell me on Sunday. The Weather Channel covered it. All the others covered the oil slick & the bomb.
