Between May 1st and May 2nd, 2010, Middle Tennessee received the greatest amount of rainfall in recorded history. It has left us with several casualties, millions of dollars in damage and an indelible mark on our city. This video shows but a small sample of the destruction and mayhem wrought by this disaster. Please pray for those affected by this tragedy.

For those who have asked, this was shot handheld with a Canon 5D Mark II. I used Canon's 35mm, 50mm and 85mm prime lenses.

I feel so blessed by the outpouring of support for this video. I hope it has helped to get the word out. This has been featured by the following sources:

    Dude, I live in Nashville. This video doesn't show the half of it - in fact, it's tame. A good friend of mine had to tie a rope around his waist and save his neighbors from their houses since the rescue crews couldn't reach them. It may be no Katrina, but it's not getting near enough help or attention from the rest of the country.

    I love that track you used. Really nice job on the your film in general. I really like the shot at 2:30 with the swirling/spinning "thing". I don't know if that's a chair or what, but that shot is quite powerful and you really threw it together quickly according to your post date.

    I agree -- the spinning thing was one of the best and most memorable shots.
