18 confirmed deaths just in Tennessee alone.
There are others elsewhere.
The after math of Bluehole Rd and Antioch Pk.
The cars are piled on each other because the water was so high;
they were all floating around and when the water was gone they settled.
Millions of dollars of damage.
Our famous Opryland Hotel is completly destroyed and will not be restored until December. The water was about 6ft in the lobby of the hotel. The Oprymills mall was also flooded but I think damage isn't as bad as the hotel.
The Cumberland River rose about 52ft. All of 1st and 2nd Ave is flooded and the basements of businesses all the way to 5th Ave are flooded. Most if not all of these businesses don't have flood insurance. The power is also out for most business and residential locations.
We only have 2 water sources, one of which is down and they are asking us to conserve water.
The flooded water is also sewer water...and people are swimming in it. The news is saying that people need shots even the ones that are helping to restore things. Yuck.
:(
