Storm of the Century - Tennessee Flood 2010

During the first weekend of May 2010, Middle Tennessee was hit hard by severe storms, which resulted in massive flooding across the entire region - the worst in a century. This is some of the footage I captured with my iPhone around my home in Hendersonville once it started receding and I was able to get out. It's nothing compared to other harder hit areas around Nashville, but still absolutely incredible and devastating.

A lot of people across the state are without homes or have no electricity or transportation. Most people did not have flood insurance on their homes and are left with nothing.
