| My home town (Nashville)...under water I am so heart broken right now. The city I love SO much, and have lovingly called home for half my life (16 years) is under water and I am just stunned. My business has been affected majorly, but I am thankful that my home is safe and my family is all accounted for. Please PLEASE remember our great city in your prayers. If you have not seen the videos and pictures, check out wkrn.com or any of the other Nashville, TN news stations. This is such a terrible tragedy for our city...MANY historic buildings (Grand Ole Opry, Wildhorse Saloon, etc), tourist attractions, SO many businesses gone. Homes floating down the interstate, 18+ confirmed dead. It's all just so sad and the grief and heartbreak in this city is tremendous. Many people without homes AND without jobs....so incredibly sad! Oh, and the Opry Mills Mall where my business is has reported that the Piranha's in the Aquarium Restaurant have gotten out and are swimming around the mall. This place was full of all sorts of exotic fish, sharks, etc. They didn't say what else got loose, but this is just amazingly sad. wow! Please keep us in your prayers. I don't know how long it will take this city to recover...but I know we will bounce back and come back stronger than ever. This is the Volunteer State...and we have that name for a reason. We certainly have some angels in TN!!!

| I have been watching this on the news here. 20 years ago I spent some time in TN between Nashville and Clarksville (Ashland City) and spent a lot of time down along the Cumberland river there. Such a beautiful state and my heart and prayers goes out to everyone there! So devastating.

| Its very sad. Another YT member's parents lost their home, completely underwater I would imagine that some celebrities that owe Nashville for their start to their outstanding career would be financially helping soon.

| Glad you and your family are ok, stuff is just stuff and can be replaced but not your loved ones.

| My thoughts and prayers are with you! I can't believe our beloved South has taken such a pounding these last few weeks. It's not even hurricane season yet! |

| I'm so sorry about your business, but at least you have your home and family. When I was watching the news, I was just amazed at the number of homes that were under water. It's heartbreaking.

| I am so very sorry about your city. Just awful. On a side note.... We were suppose to be visiting Nashville for the first time Memorial Day Weekend. I bet it would have been beautiful.
