Has the flood in Tennessee been on the news in your area?
http://www.wkrn.com/Global/story.asp?S=12426439 for more info.
The Nashville area has been hit incredibly hard in this last week with devastating rains. The most rain in 80 years. So many families have lost their homes, 19 so far have been found dead. The city and state has joined together and there is a tremendous amount of help being provided to those that need it, but they need more. We are the volunteer state and the people out helping each other is amazing.
I haven't been affected by it, and none of my family and friends had substantial damage, but many many have lost their homes. The national news has done a poor job of letting the country know what is happening here. Below are some links to donate to help. Please spread the word to get others to help, or donate to help get these families back on their feet.
