We've had some crazy weather here in Nashville the last 2 days. In some areas over 20 inches of rain. We had a small river in our backyard, but luckily have not had any flooding or damage. Just a little damp carpet near a door that leads outside. We ventured out this afternoon to see our neighborhood and surrounding areas. We are counting our blessings that we haven't had to deal with flooding houses, no power, and damage that other people have had here.
This is an overflow area in our neighborhood that is normally dry and since this picture was taken, this has completely flooded over and has even covered the road!
This is a dry creek bed normally just one street down from us. The lady that has a house just to the right of this said she's never seen it this high before. A couple hours after this was taken the lady who lives here had to evacuate her home because the water level had reacherd her front door.
A downed power line split into 3 pieces. Also some downed trees just sheared off. This is near the mall just 2 miles from our house. We think a tornado touched down here this morning.
A field behind our neighbors house has now turned into a lake. The water level has now risen so that it has almost gone over the fence.
A car stranded near the on ramp to the freeway just above it.
A car stranded near the local grocery store a mile from our house. Another car (with the headlights) decided it would try to make it though. Brilliant!
The same car, headlights no longer visible, deciding that perhaps he can't make it afterall. Luckily he was able to back out of it.
