Water Water Everywhere!

Nashville and the surrounding area got a severe storm over the weekend. I'm talking over 20 inches of rain!! Interstates closed, stores flooded, houses floating down the street, etc. It's been very eery here this weekend. We've got friends who have lost their businesses, their homes, their cars and probably more! It's very sad.

Luckily our house didn't get any water and we are doing fine. BUT our neighborhood now has a lake in it that we didn't have before. We have a field across from our house that's normally just grass but this weekend was full of water.

In this video you'll see some stairs down into the field. You can see a good number of them - as this was Sunday - but on Saturday night you could only see four of them. You'll hear the rain coming down as well.



This video is so minor compared to what others have seen and been through. I almost hesitated to post it on our blog. Praise the Lord, Monday we aren't supposed to get any rain!

What a lake you have! I went out just a little today and just kept getting a lump in my throat seeing the devastation. I am so grateful we are safe and still have a home, as I'm sure ya'll are.

Wow! They talked about Nashville on Regis & Kelly this morning. That was the first that I've heard anything about it on the news. So glad to hear that you guys are all OK.
