Today we finally got TV again when the Direct TV guy left. We were hearing about how bad it is in Nashville, but we couldn’t get a grip on how big the disaster was until we finally got TV. A lot of my friends have been to Opryland Hotel, it is under water, the guest have had to be evacuated last night. I know the guests are upset, but think about the workers…when will they be able to return to work?
David and I took a drive this morning while going to the post office to get our mail and saw even more destruction in our county. It reminds me of El Nino from the ‘90’s in California…it is truly one of the worst disasters I’ve witnessed.
We have drinking water now, and hope we are able to continue with our fresh water. While David and I were out earlier, we had to get milk, so we dropped by the local WalMart…BAD IDEA! #1, couldn’t find a parking space (hey guys, it’s MONDAY, aren’t you at work?), #2, tons of people inside the store grabbing cases of water as quickly as the WalMart people could put them out. There were some people who had their carts loaded with bottled water 6 & 8 cases high! Not just a couple of people…LOTS OF PEOPLE! Later, a friend posted a photo of someone selling water from their car…talk about opportunity!
At any rate, the Cumberland River that flows through Clarksville will crest tonight and hopefully by tomorrow the receding of the water will begin by tomorrow. I hope it goes away quickly, our people need it to go away soon. Our hearts are with those who have lost loved ones, their homes, property and businesses.
