I was in Nashville yesterday morning on business. Looks like I got out just in time!

This is a shot from a traffic camera late this afternoon. This is Interstate 24 at Bell Road (exit 56) on the southeast side of Nashville. Traffic got backed up because the road had a little standing water on it. Then Mill Creek rose out of its banks very quickly. They rescued lots of people, and I believe that they said someone drowned there. There are a huge number of flooded areas in Nashville, and officials are telling to stay off the roads unless it is an emergency.

This is unprecedented, so no one can plan for something like this. Primarily do not buy a home near Mill Creek in Davidson County or the Harpeth River in Williamson County. There are plenty of hills and valleys around here, so you can find a house on a hill that will never flood. Just make sure you check if the property is in a flood plain before you buy anything.

Whoa! That is some water! On the good side, those gas prices at the Pilot are a good 30 cents lower than here in south California.

I just saw pics on tenneseean.com. Looks very bad. My prayers go out to all living in, stuck in, or passing through Nashville.

Now, a personal concern of mine. I live in MD and plan to vacation for 4 days in Nashville in mid-June (my first trip outside the eastern time zone since 1983 when I visited steprelatives in Canada's Maritimes). How badly hit are tourist attractions there? (Music Row, Fort Nashborough, the Hermitage, Murfreesboro battlefield, TN Central Railway Museum, Vandy U) From maps I see Opryland and Fort Nashborough are on the river.

I love the country music hall of fame. Put that one on your list. And the Ryman Auditorium.

Care to give the rest of us who DON’T live in Nashville a clue as to what caused this?

A lot of rain, but the landscape has a lot to do with it too, a lot of hills and dales in Nashville and surrounding area. Been looking at the pictures on wsmv.com just shaking my head, unbelievable

Stay safe and my prayers to everyone affected.

The Harpeth runs near my area but hasn’t caused any flooding. Lights keep flickering and the stream behind my house

Massive lighting now. Signing off. Again, stay safe everyone.

...the stream is now a raging river and rising.

That lightning scared me. Signing off now.

I know that you folks look after each other.

I don't know if you have a chance of getting federal aid. I heard Obama said no to some governor who asked for assistance.

Keeping you folks in my prayers. They say South Jersey should be getting T-storms later this evening.
