Nashville Flood: Part Two

so we are doing ok compared to a lot of people around her. our basement is flooded, but only a few inches. our sump pump is working hard and we've been bailing it out with buckets.

it's supposed to rain for a few more hours today! ahhh!!!

our back patio is the only flooded place in our yard. luckily we are kind of up hill, all the water is rushing away down the road.
across the street is worse off than us. our store is closed. not because of dangerous conditions, but just because not enough people were coming in to open the store. so stupid. we weren't even going to attempt to go out. we have been sitting here watching the news and they keep having to ask people to please stay home because they keep having to rescue idiots who are going out joy riding.

look at this!!!


interstate 24!!!!!

the walmart near our house!!
EDIT: they just said we've gotten our highest two day rain total ever: 13 inches! and places outside of town got lots more.

Nashville Flood: Part One

so it's raining like crazy in tennessee today and we are stranded at whole foods! when we got here customer's cars were FLOATING AWAY in teh parking lot. there is water in the store, halfway back is flooded. they've barricaded the front doors so no more will come it.

and it's not supposed to stop raining until midnight. omg i want to go home so bad. our basement is getting wet and we don't have flood insurance and i'm freaking out.

so send me some good thoughts so we don't get washed away! we will literally probably have to swim to our car to get home. daaangggg it!!

EDIT: We finally got to leave! it took us an hour and a half to get home! (it usually takes 15 minutes) so much craziness.





can you see the bags of compost we used to try and keep the water out? the picture with the truck in in, it actually got deeper than that! the carts were almost submerged.
