The Nashville Flood. May 2, 2010.

Visit http://tinyurl.com/24ptdcr for a stunning image gallery of the flooding caught after this was filmed.

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:

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.

@noblew357 Believe me, I'd LIKE to know more; especially since I plan to move to the area in a few years. Can't imagine the mold problems and everything else that goes along with post apocalyptic flooding and the covered up real estate jobs that usually follow. I've found a confusing map that is supposed to show what areas were affected by the flood and how bad, but am in the process of trying to find better and less "encrypted" info on this disaster.
