Massive Flooding in TN
The Nashville area is under a state of emergency due to massive flooding. One of my stagehands who works for the red cross got called during the load out to see if she could go help evacuate people.
At the time of typing this 5 confirmed deaths. There's a bunch of other videos. But i enjoy the fact that this house goes floating by on the interstate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5gYhLKwSp4 Last edited by psychochild28; 05-02-2010 at 03:28 AM.. |

Because I gots me a pickem'up truck with big floaty tires and that lil part of the road floods when it rains and I always make it through and look the guy in front of me just went in the water he must be able to make it through too so I can just follow him and I will be alright and I can just float on my big floaty tires across the lake until I hit solid ground and can drive away with my bad self.
People make mistakes that seem like a good descision at the time but turn out to be really quite dumb. I can tell you because I am part of the I had a bad idea to drive through the lake club, and to this day I learned my lesson and I am scared of driving through any puddle of water.

I remember in the flooding back in 08 in Fargo, I saw a pickup driving through some water, all I could see was the top of the bumpers and up. Didn't think it was that deep until he came out of the water. It was lifted about 10" and riding on 37" tires!

Ive been waiting for this damn storm to move east and hit Chattanooga. I almost didnt ride yesterday or today to work because of that damn storm and now its just been sitting there for 12 hours and has hardly moved at all. I want this storm to come and go. I like the rain sometimes but when its sitting there causing me to not want to ride that makes me mad. UGH damn storm

Yea I can't believe they are still trying to drive in it. They declared Davidson CO (nashville) a disaster area and are thinking of evacuating most of the county because they think the dam there is going to go soon.
Drewpy's backyard and front are flooded. I'm getting pics from his roomate |

That "House" was a portable building from a church academy...Lighthouse, I think. My sister lives in Antioch where that was filmed and couldn't get home until the next day. That is more rain than the flood of 79...
