i live in nashville and i remember this day like it was yesterday. it was HORRIBLE. i was cryinggg soo hard because i was scared. thankfully our house didnt get flooded, but the water was two houses away.
i stayed at this wonerful place 2 weeks ago and was amazed and then i was just looking at some pics of the flood and was frightened it looks horrible and to think i walk down in to what used to be ten feet of water :(
Do you know FEMA has bought 120,000 instant meals...saying 170,000 people are going to be killed from Texas to Florida to Ohio and Illinois from an earthquake on the New Madrid Fault?
My school band was staying here that weekend. It was beautiful the day we arrived and then it started raining. and it never stopped. As we were leaving the water was maybe half a foot deep but it hadn't gotten into the hotel. We left to go home about an hour before they shut down all roads in nashville. As we left, while normally we would be sleeping, we watched as exit had cars floating down the road and horses wading through the water. When we got home, we saw the pictures it was horrible
I live in Clarksville which is a city about 30 - 50 miles outside of Nashville. The flood affected a lot of the surrounding cities including mine. The fish most likely did not survive. In the Opry Mills mall, the stingrays and pirhanas escaped and eventually died of freshwater and dirty water pollutants. Hopefully though, they can get this back up! I'm going for my senior prom here in 2014! :D
@homelesshelper They thought they had escaped but when the waters receded, the tanks were intact. We got super lucky we didn't have hundreds of pirhana released into our river lol.
@llcmac01 - how could you say that it is by and through God you are living, breathing, enjoing life, healed from your illness. it is becaue of God's mercy you are granted new opportunities everyday to come back to him before it is too late becaue of his love you are protected even when your heart is away from him., nothing is like being in God's hands feeling his true love, come on wake up i feel sorry for u brother, everything God makes has a purpose & works for good to those who loves him.
@uncoolnerd The only loser here is you. I'm bashing you because you say stupid things like "pwned" to such an tragic event where peoples lifes were lost and businesses were destroyed. You need to grow up and have respect.
@uncoolnerd I was talking about nashville as a whole. You're in no position to tell anyone to get a life. Put more countless hours into your online gaming, geek.
ill never forget this flood, i live in clarksville, which is really close to nashville so we were flooded bad too, we were out of school for a whole week. its so sad to see all of the peoples homes lost, no one will forget.
I think this was caused by a hex put on Opry Mills from the ghost of Opry Land, tore down a rad theme park to build another stupid mall, mores the pity:(
@iamcyberpunk68 Ohh yea thats why it hasn't happened in ohhh, more than 100 years. Charts are created and those charts determine areas that are susceptible to flooding. If you listened he even said the "100 year flood mark."
So, in other words they have determined with the levee that that area was not likely to flood. Now they will build the levee higher to prevent further.
Chances of it happening again are there, but not as likely.
Repair it and the mall, then build the park elsewhere

@imixnpour We don't get this kind of weather that often, so please forgive us of our response! Gasp!!!! Nobody's here for some stupid territorial pissing contest, and if you don't want to watch the video, then fuck off and don't watch the damn video. Oh, and happy flooding, there Midwest superiority complex! Boy, I wish I was your shrink.......
This wasn't covered in the MSmedia because people behaved themselves, helped each other and there was a sense of brotherhood throughout. Unlike Katrina.
"FEMA has registered some 18,000 residents in the 42 counties that have thus far received the dubious distinction of 'federal disaster area.' The agency has inspected 4,400 homes, and about 14,000 people are still on the schedule. More than $28 million has already been approved for the effort.
.
Tuttle said by mid-week, FEMA would have at least 12 of these mobile disaster relief units established across the state."
Why no one heard much about it in the media because it's a mostly white town. Plain and simple. truths hurts sometimes. If Nashville was populated with blacks like New Orleans then it would been all in the news. Wake up white people our government is against us
This hotel charges anywhere from a lower end $300.00 per night, to as much as $2,000 per night. They can afford it, believe me. Sad to think Opry Mills Mall might be gone, I used to work there and know a LOT of folks that work/worked there and I hope they are all ok and able to get other jobs
We had a big rain, and flood, in July 2006 (Cleveland, OH). I got 10-1/2" in my lower level. I asked the TV weatherman about it. He said you can't put a timeline on it (100 or 500 year) ... We experienced what is called a "storm train." Storms usually move from west to east, as did this one. The storm fronts were compressed, however, into a line.
They are usually spread out, but this one was vertical, the rain was more concentrated, rather than in a wide swath, like a vertical pencil going west to east on the turnpike, hitting every city along the way, in contrast to a horizontal pencil moving along the page. If it had been 15 miles further south, the city of Cleveland would have been flooded. People think they are kind of rare, but they're not. The last one happened in July of 2003. It could happen again ... they can happen anytime.
Thanks for sharing this video. Just can't believe how deep this water is. Never been there in person, but seen this exact area of the hotel on the Ralph Emery show many years ago.
why do people have to be such racist jerks? keep yer negative comments to yourself. nashville has suffered enough, and were not all a bunch of "hillbillies" or "redneck country singers" fyi. we are like a melting pot of different people and regardless we are all helping each other and its amazing. --proud to be born & raised 5 mins away from this beautiful hotel.

Why the heck have we heard nothing about this from our lovely media?? Not enough controversy, and everyone came together to help, AND nobody is blaming someone, that's why. The media sucks.
Global warming is not caused by burning oil , the millions of years of Volcano's on this earth damaged the atmosphere much greater than a few billions cars could ever do. The earth cleans itself, HARRP is to blame, They were trying to create a cold front to come down and push that oil spill further south out of the Gulf. WE got hit by the backlash effect, Here in TN

If you don't have money to donate, you still can donate by joining swagbucks. Swagbucks is a search engine site where you can win points or 'swagbucks' every time you search. You normally win around 7-20 swagbucks when you do win, and you can donate 10 swagbucks at a time towards the flood relief. If you join under my account, i'll win however many swagbucks you win, so that will help. (swagbucks website/refer/fallior)
I'm from Mexico city and I used to be a STAR (employee) in Gaylord Opryland in a J-1 program. Seeing this images brakes my heart, all my friends, memories and prople from whom I learned too much are suffering, they lost their jobs, probably their houses, I also have mexican friends there who are going back home. I can't believe this happened!!!
I went to nashville for a video game tournament and stayed in the Opryland Hotel. EVERYONE was nice and just knew how to act. When I saw that residents are helping with clean up it didn't suprise me.
I'm glad more lives weren't lost, like Katrina. The Opry is the least of the worries.
You can't replace people. Was the flood contained to just the Nashville Area? Tim and Faith's telethon is called Nashville Rising. I thought Memphis and a whole lot of other counties were suffering as well.
Kudos for this guys response for how they "prepared" - typical reporter, she's worried about tables and chairs and the hotel focuses on their guests & entertainers.
it breaks my heart to see this!..the opryland hotel is so lovely!...we always enjoy going there and to opry mills mall....i hope it won't take too long for this lovely place to open again...NASHVILLE ROCKS!..:)
The "response" is from Nashvillians helping each other...NOT FEMA. I have seen one (count em, 1) FEMA person on the ground; and they were walking around with a clipboard taking notes. Not pulling out drywall, or taking wheelbarrows full of crap to the curb. This is an astounding community of people reaching out to help one another rebuild. Something that surely shocks the US government. Thanks anyhow, USG...we can (obviously) take care of ourselves. Without bitching and whining to the media!
I have memories of that wonderful place. When they rebuild it.....it just won't be the same. I'm in tears right now watching my hometown flood away like broken memories.
It is horrible to see the Opryland Hotel flooded, let alone the whole city. I have many memories of the hotel and the city of Nashville, me and my wife got married just a few mile north of the Opryland Hotel, in Madison. My heart and Prayers go out to the residents of Davidson county and the whole state of Tennessee.
Last month, FEMA Director W. Craig Fugate wrote a letter to Congress warning that its relief fund had fallen to $693 million as of April 7 but the agency owed $645 million to 47 states for past disasters. That doesn't include the $1.7 billion settlement for Hurricane Katrina.
substanti8 talks about global warming when the lid was blown off of the global warming scheme in East Anglia University where the Scientist's cooked the books to hide the decline in temperatures. The disgraced Phil Jones admitted that temperatures have been decreasing since 1995.
Your robotic repetition of fossil-fueled disinformation talking points does NOTHING to refute the reality of anthropogenic global warming. (Does Koch Industries pay you, or are you really that stupid?)
"When I use the term denial industry, I'm referring to those who are paid to say that manmade global warming isn't happening. The great majority of people who believe this have not been paid: they have been DUPED."
Climate change deniers have no evidence to support their anti-scientific opinions. They are often the same wing nuts who deny the existence of evolution. They exhibit an appalling lack of intelligence and reasoning.
I feel sorry for the people who lost their homes, personal belongings and most of all their lives and loved ones. I'm sure the insurance money will "more" than take care of the damage to your property:( Best of luck to all of those who need it.
you mean they not running around LOOTIN and KILLIN? whats wrong with these white people! and where is there 2000 visa card?? damm whity you need to do like the blacks during katrina, blamm whity and the govt for why you have to act like a fuking animal. niggers stink!
Yes, there are many of you who may be offended and mad at my words of truth. Truth of the matter is it takes extraordinary, life changing circumstances to bring most people to an epiphany of self-realization, humility and unity. Ignorance is not bliss. No man will be without excuse in the day they stand before God Almighty. Harden not your hearts, but believe on Jesus that he can save you. God is calling you. Seek and you shall find. Peace to all.
To anyone who is genuinely interested in wanting to know why so many things are happening; earthquakes, volcano eruptions, flooding, blizzards, tornados, and meteors hitting our earth there is an answer. The creator of the universe is speaking to us and warning us He is about to judge the world. Jesus is coming to establish God's everlasting kingdom on earth. What's happening right now is what our Lord Jesus calls the beginning of sorrows (Matt. 24:7). Keep watching the news and believe.
"I've never seen this kind of response," said Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen (D), "and we've had our share of tornadoes and so forth."
"FEMA and the White House could not have been more helpful in this thing," Bredesen said.
After speaking with the governor Monday, President Obama signed a disaster declaration for the state Tuesday, sending federal aid to Tennessee to help supplement ...
"FEMA was on the ground before the rain drops fell," said Bredesen, who noted he'd not only spoken to Mr. Obama, but Homeland Security Sec. Napolitano and Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett. "We're very pleased with the response we've gotten from the administration."
Bredesen agreed it would be counter-productive for the president to come down south in the first days following the storm, as so many resources are needed to accommodate a presidential visit.
@substanti8 Kewl! I wish the same was true for all flood vistims accross our land. When a property I owned got it, nobody cared, Lost 150K+. No grants, nothing. Weird how everyone does not get treated the same. When people lose of much equity them should at least offer them interest at cost to lower their house payments which would not cost taxpayers a dime. That way, they have at last more money to help recover their loses unless of course they have flood insurance.
So you did NOT have flood insurance? If not, was that because your home was not in a flood zone? I'm curious.
.
One of the problems with the Nashville flood is that so much property was damaged beyond the limit of the "500-year" flood zone. Many people did not have flood insurance, because FEMA did not require it (through the banks). So that's why Obama took immediate action.
@substanti8 Nope. I did not have flood insurance, and I was NOT in a flood zone. FEMA was there in <24 hours along with State and Local agencies to care for the human health needs then left. The homes are still empty homes up and down the street, two years later. Most people lost their live savings.
Wow ... that's terrible. I think the experience that you and your neighbors had is a harbinger of things to come -- across much of the world. Climate change is a huge unfolding disaster -- like the Titanic (our society) hitting an iceberg in slow motion.
.
Read the outstanding essay from The New Republic yesterday:
@substanti8 I dont care what Phil Bredesen said Obama was slow to respond to this. He hasnt even shown up a week later Homeland security Sec. shows up we had it handled by then. Fema had an easy time doing their jobs unlike the in La.
@substanti8 Obama will do whatever he can to make himself look good now that his communistic and socialistic ideals have been exposed, and now that American sentiment is against him to the tune of about 70%
Mock the Dummies . watch?v=O8LU4B7JFTY . "This is socialism!" "This is fascism!" "This is communism!" . "Which one is it?" . "Dummy, it's all the same." . "Oh ... It's all the same!!"
I lived in Nashville for Five amazing years, seeing the damage the got done by the flood sadden me, and the media coverage is really disappointing, I know you guys will survive, we wish you well.
Where are the whites up on their roofs yelling for help, the robbing and looting as in New Orleans? All I see are people helping each other and taking care of each other? And where is all the outcry to help them as their was to help Haiti ?
I love Nashville, but I wonder if God is judging Nashville for all of it's homophobia. Nashville creates more homophobia in this country than any single city. I pray God continues to show this great city mercy. I pray that all of Nashville sees that God loves all people. We are all sinners and will be judged for sinning. Even those who judge their neighbors instead of loving them. We pray Nashville will recover and stop judging the rest of us. This is why the media doesn't tell your story.
Another irony is that the South is lined up to receive much of the worst effects of global warming this century -- even as it harbors NASCAR culture and so much denial of climate science. Severe and bizarre weather will become more frequent and more intense as a direct result of increased heat and moisture in the atmosphere.
@substanti8 Also, look up sustainable development, Georgia Guidestones, Agenda 21. I should keep going, but it is likely I am talking to a brick wall.
You get your opinions from Alex Jones, and then you tell OTHER people to "wake up"?
.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ... you're a funny guy.
.
Gosh, you're right, Mr. Fudd. I now think that global warming is all a hoax, because ... well ... because some anonymous internet troll with no evidence and an IQ under 80 repeated a barrage of talking points that were planted into his little mind by the oil industry. And he's no sheep! No sireee lee bob!!
Monster Hurricane Season Expected, Due to Global Warming
tiny (dot) cc/enmsl
"Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the Atlantic's Main Development Region (MDR) for hurricanes had their warmest April on record, according to an analysis of historical SST data...
.
When SSTs in the MDR are much above average during hurricane season, a very active season typically results.... SSTs in the MDR were an eye-opening 1.46 C above average during April. This is the third straight record warm month, and ..."
"... the warmest anomaly measured for any month -- by a remarkable 0.20 C. The previous record warmest anomalies for the Atlantic MDR were set in June 2005 and March 2010, at 1.26 C....
.
The three past seasons with record warm April SST anomalies all had abnormally high numbers of intense hurricanes. Past hurricane seasons that had high March SST anomalies include 1969, 2005 and 1958 ... [with] 5, 7 and 5 intense hurricanes, respectively. Just two intense hurricanes occur in an average year."
I hear hurricanes a-blowin' I know the end is comin' soon I fear rivers over flowin' I hear the voice of rage and ruin . Don't go around tonight Well, it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise . Hope you got your things together Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather One eye is taken for an eye . -- Creedence Clearwater Revival (written about Hurricane Camille, 1969)

"FEMA has registered some 18,000 residents in the 42 counties that have thus far received the dubious distinction of 'federal disaster area.' The agency has inspected 4,400 homes, and about 14,000 people are still on the schedule. More than $28 million has already been approved for the effort.

Tuttle said by mid-week, FEMA would have at least 12 of these mobile disaster relief units established across the state."

Why no one heard much about it in the media because it's a mostly white town. Plain and simple. truths hurts sometimes. If Nashville was populated with blacks like New Orleans then it would been all in the news. Wake up white people our government is against us

This hotel charges anywhere from a lower end $300.00 per night, to as much as $2,000 per night. They can afford it, believe me. Sad to think Opry Mills Mall might be gone, I used to work there and know a LOT of folks that work/worked there and I hope they are all ok and able to get other jobs

We had a big rain, and flood, in July 2006 (Cleveland, OH). I got 10-1/2" in my lower level. I asked the TV weatherman about it. He said you can't put a timeline on it (100 or 500 year) ... We experienced what is called a "storm train." Storms usually move from west to east, as did this one. The storm fronts were compressed, however, into a line.
slack7639 1 year ago
They are usually spread out, but this one was vertical, the rain was more concentrated, rather than in a wide swath, like a vertical pencil going west to east on the turnpike, hitting every city along the way, in contrast to a horizontal pencil moving along the page. If it had been 15 miles further south, the city of Cleveland would have been flooded. People think they are kind of rare, but they're not. The last one happened in July of 2003. It could happen again ... they can happen anytime.

To anyone who is genuinely interested in wanting to know why so many things are happening; earthquakes, volcano eruptions, flooding, blizzards, tornados, and meteors hitting our earth there is an answer. The creator of the universe is speaking to us and warning us He is about to judge the world. Jesus is coming to establish God's everlasting kingdom on earth. What's happening right now is what our Lord Jesus calls the beginning of sorrows (Matt. 24:7). Keep watching the news and believe.

"I've never seen this kind of response," said Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen (D), "and we've had our share of tornadoes and so forth."
"FEMA and the White House could not have been more helpful in this thing," Bredesen said.
After speaking with the governor Monday, President Obama signed a disaster declaration for the state Tuesday, sending federal aid to Tennessee to help supplement ...

.. the state and local recovery efforts.
"FEMA was on the ground before the rain drops fell," said Bredesen, who noted he'd not only spoken to Mr. Obama, but Homeland Security Sec. Napolitano and Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett. "We're very pleased with the response we've gotten from the administration."
Bredesen agreed it would be counter-productive for the president to come down south in the first days following the storm, as so many resources are needed to accommodate a presidential visit.

@substanti8 Kewl! I wish the same was true for all flood vistims accross our land. When a property I owned got it, nobody cared, Lost 150K+. No grants, nothing. Weird how everyone does not get treated the same. When people lose of much equity them should at least offer them interest at cost to lower their house payments which would not cost taxpayers a dime. That way, they have at last more money to help recover their loses unless of course they have flood insurance.

So you did NOT have flood insurance? If not, was that because your home was not in a flood zone? I'm curious.
.
One of the problems with the Nashville flood is that so much property was damaged beyond the limit of the "500-year" flood zone. Many people did not have flood insurance, because FEMA did not require it (through the banks). So that's why Obama took immediate action.
substanti8 1 year ago
@substanti8 Nope. I did not have flood insurance, and I was NOT in a flood zone. FEMA was there in <24 hours along with State and Local agencies to care for the human health needs then left. The homes are still empty homes up and down the street, two years later. Most people lost their live savings.
