The sad part about the floods here in Tennessee is that the National News Media put it on a back burner while they covered the oil spill and the would be bomber. I had friends contact me as late as Tuesday who had just heard about it. At least 19 died in Tennessee and some are still not accounted for. The economic impact of this on the State is devastating because it is not only Nashville it is widespread throughout.
A friend posted this on FB yesterday and I am passing it on:
"Non-Nashvillians: Please spread the word, in case everyone doesn't grasp the severity of what's going on in Nashville. Temporary shelters are at capacity, people are unaccounted for, many homes are under water, there is a water conservation emergency, much of Nashville's economic base is threatened by flood damage.You can text 'REDCROSS' to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief."
