The Nashville Flood of 2010


Section 303 (Web site) and other sources are reporting that a 500-year flood struck Nashville and other parts of central Tennessee, with damage estimated at over $1 billion. The downtown area and Opryland were particularly hard-hit. President Obama has declared this part of the Volunteer State a disaster area.

Determined that the show must go on, producers and performers of the Grand Ole Opry relocated temporarily to the War Memorial Auditorium and the Ryman Auditorium.

Here's some information for anyone desiring to help victims of this catastrophe, including links to Hands on Nashville, Middle Tennessee Red Cross, Salvation Army, and other charitable causes.
