My Sweet City's Hurt

On Saturday, the 1st of May, our delayed April showers showed up in a fury delivering the worst flooding seen in Music City in 50 years. The Harpeth River that has so lovingly provided nostalgic summer recreation for us took on a nasty countenance as it rose 26 feet, flooding most of Kingston Springs and Bellevue. Neighborhoods in Brentwood and Franklin were evacuated and Tennessee lost 11 lives this weekend.

Vanderbilt's orange alert was heightened when the emergency departments began to flood, resulting in patient care to be both hectic and shin deep in water.

The images continue to trickle in, leaving my heart heavy for the hurt my fellow Nashvillians are experiencing.
