Nashville Flood

[ROUSHDEMON]

Thank you all for your kind words, it has been the craziest week ever, what once was happy home is now 2x4s, BUT that's only downstairs, luckily it didn't get to the main level where everything is.
The Roush is fine thank GOD! lol, I took it along with the other cars up the street where I knew water couldn't reach them as soon as I saw the river tip over, that was the first thing I did, then we had friends came and took each one of them before the tornados got to us, it was caos, but at least I didn't have to worry about them anymore and could focus on trying to safe what I could. Water came up so fast I was yelling "dont let go Jack!, dont ever let go!" HA
I will keep you guys posted, again, I appreciate your kind words, thanks for the compliments on the wifey she liked them, ha and luckly we're all safe and we'll get back up on our feet sooner than later I hope.

Just got back to the States. Didn't even knew anything happened, not even on the news ??? Sorry to hear about your loss and wish you and your family the best. At least when a hurricane is coming we get some notice. How do you plan for something like what happened to you?

The only thing you can do is remove anything valuable, wife and his super cool Rousch.

The rest you have to eat like a bitter apple.

WOW... that is devastating, I am really sorry to see that. As mentioned above the main thing is that you and your family are OK. I wish you the best in getting through the process of getting your home back in order.

Again, in no way did I have it as bad as so many, there were people who lost everything. All I had was a wet basement(unfinished) and a roof leak.

I live down the steet from BigZ and I thought I would post a few pics, sorry for the poor quality.

The first couple are of my yard, then the river which is supposed to look a whole lot smaller, lol.

We have one way in our road and as you can see it was a little blocked.

For reference this was on Sunday.

Hey Andres, sorry again about your flooded house, yea driving through some of the water was about the only high point of all that mess.

I will say I was biting my nails watching that damn river rise, ended up ok, we had no power, but Sunday night and Monday I cooked everything in the freezer on the gas grill...oh and drank a lot of warm beer

So yeah, compared to you and alot of others, we were in good shape.
And I am sure if you want a H1 you will be passing me in my old heap soon

Glad you weren't injured and the cars are safe! I thought about you the minute I saw the flooding on the TV. We had a small vacation home that was destroyed by the Missouri River in the Great FLood of '93 - that was a once in 1000 year flood also - seems like we're having a lot of those lately! I ripped out all the drywall and used more KILLZ than I can remember. My Hummer helped with the sandbagging in Clarksville, MO two years ago, so living by two major rivers I've seen a lot of flooding and it rips your heart apart. Things can be replaced, but lives can't.
