I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m a sucker for extreme weather.  When we had that weird ice storm thing Blue and I were out most of the day walking around and then we took a drive sliding all over the place.  This crazy rain, flooding thing is no exception either.  After two days of  hearing about the craziness I had to get out and see for myself just how bad it was.  Turns out, the news and weather reports were right.  Floods everywhere.

It took us about an hour to figure out a way to the store that wasn’t completely flooded.  And we only had to go through one pretty serious deep part.  I was waiting for the car to shut off, but it never did.  At one point I went back and picked up Kristin and the boys so they could come with me and we could make it a ‘family adventure’.  We actually ended up passing two or three other grocery stores to get to the one I wanted to go to.  We win this one.

Seriously though.  My heart goes out to the tons of people affected by this mess.  We happen to be some of the fortunate ones that have a house on a slight hill.  There are several houses that we even drove past today that aren’t as fortunate.

I’ve heard all sorts of “statistics” today, but I don’t know if any of them are true.  Most rain in a hundred years, National Guard is posted, buildings are falling over, official ‘State of Emergency’, dusk to dawn curfew, ect.  All pretty believable after taking a little drive around, but we don’t have local TV so we’re basically going off of Twitter and the interweb.

So what’s up Nashville, everyone okay?
