Nashville Flooding from Record Rainfall

By Victoria Brown on May 3, 2010

Digital News Report – Downtown Nashville has been flooded after receiving record amounts of rain, 13 inches in only two days. The flooding has been so severe that the rain storm has been attributed to causing at least 15 deaths in Tennessee and adjoining states.

The rains caused the Cumberland River to overflow into the streets of Nashville. The deluge of water had caused evacuations of business and hotels in downtown Nashville, including the famous Opryland Hotel, which had to relocate 1,500 guests to drier ground. There have been several schools and businesses closed from the flooding.

Roadways have been damaged from the flooding as well. Tennessee government officials are calling in the National Guard to help in rescuing people that are stranded.

Check out the youtube footage of people in the area that captured the flooding on video.
