As some of you might have heard from me or on the news, we have experienced a flood that looked like a mini Katrina…Now I’m not making light of Katrina in anyway, but if I had to compare it to something that would be it…I have no other words to describe the helplessness feeling I felt when you see people stranded and there is nothing you can do for them…My heart breaks for the individuals who lost everything and I do mean everything…Today I’m hoping to help out with
I decided to share some photo’s from The Tennessean paper what the damage looked like…These are from Franklin, TN which isn’t too far away from me…

Hey Heather -
Is there a fund or some website for donations? Weather things are crazy aren’t they…? Wow.
I know how you feel, Heather. It is a terrible feeling to see all the devastation and know that there isn’t much that can be done right now except just “wait it out”. Some folks are still stuck in their homes, others have lost everything. And, since its not a flood zone, many do NOT have flood insurance. I do not know what will become of them.
Linda- I would try the Nashville Red Cross and see if they have something set up for donations…That is very kind of you…:)
Melinda- I know it’s heartbreaking and nothing you can do until it’s over…Hope you make it home safe…

……floods are not fun….especially muddy yucky floods….it’s gonna take months, years to get back to “normal”, if it’s possible…..
Stay out of the water, it’s toxic…..the whole area will be toxic until enough (usual) rains wash it out….
I feel sorry for all who have to endure it….all the stuff they lose in the process, and the whole “rebuilding” part afterwards….
