I´ve got 6 Mexicans standing by ready to help clean up if they could get a visa, they would volunteer.
PLEASE help publicize this! There is a LOCAL RADIOTHON (thank you ClearChannel!!!!!) going on RIGHT NOW. Here is the link with photos and ways to contribute. You can listen live or donate..PLEASE consider doing BOTH and if you know another way to get this information OUT, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. Radiothon is going on NOW!!!
We live here now and it is DEVASTATING!!!!
I emailed a few of the bloggers (MM first) and begged them to even provide a link or something...no response.
The flood warning for the river thru downtown has just been extended until THURSDAY. It is supposed to rain again on Friday. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!
“Sergent Alvin York in World War I, Tennesseans have been heroic in their volunteering efforts”. Alvin York was DRAFTED and did NOT “volunteer”.
Middle Tn. isn’t the only ones hurting. There are people here in the Memphis, Millington, Tipton County that have lost everything.
Not one word from the President yet??
Not even a “please pray for Tennessee”??
I’m in Nashville and I have to agree.
You’d think that 3 cable news-channels running 24 hours-a-day could give this flood some coverage, even with the oil spill and NYC terrorist attempt.
Nashville is devastated. Everyone I know is affected in varying degrees. The death count is rising. The two major tourism sites, downtown and Opryland, are seriously damaged and no one can guess when and if they’ll be operating again. The cresting river came within inches of knocking out Metro Water Services, serving 600,000 thousand people. Unknown numbers of residents have lost everything because they didn’t have flood insurance — couldn’t buy it because their homes weren’t considered to be in floodplains — and will have to start over.
