Well the sun is out today...thank goodness because middle TN couldn't hold another drop of water! It started raining here in Clarksville about 4 am Saturday morning and didn't stop until sometime yesterday afternoon. It just kept coming...at times it would let up but then the next wave of thunderstorms would come through and bring several more inches of rain! I have never in my life seen so much water! Nashville definitely has the worst flooding but we've still had our share here in Clarksville! Please pray for all of the families effected by the floods because there are many homes and businesses that have been flooded and several people have actually died. I know at one point all of the major interstates were closed in the Nashville area. There was a video on the news that showed at least 20 vehicles including semi-trucks on I-24 that had been abandoned due to flood waters...all you could see were the roofs of the vehicles! It was unbelievable! They also reported that the Opryland hotel was evacuated last night and by this morning it had 6 feet of water on the bottom level...just absolute craziness! Ryan had to make a few detours to make it out to the plant this morning due to road closures but I just talked to him and he heard they've just closed the main road he takes home...YIKES! Please keep him in your prayers too because the news just said we've not seen the worse of flooding yet here in Clarksville. Although it's not raining anymore the water is still rising and is expected to crest this afternoon so hopefully he'll be able to find a way home and make it here safely!
Someone had emailed Ryan these pics this morning....they are of Riverside Rd here in Clarksville and to think it's still rising....SCARY!
