Humbled by flooding – Tennessee really is the “Volunteer” state

There is a popular phrase going around town right now: “We are Nashville” and if you have witnessed any of the devastation from the recent floods in Middle Tennessee and the outpouring of help given by the locals in Nashville you’d understand that phrase immediately. The last I heard we were up to over $1.6 Billion dollars in damages and yet not much has been said about in the national media.  Sad. But we’ve come to realize that it’s probably because you haven’t seen the looting and violence that would typically go on with such a horrific event. Contrarily, you’ve seen help, and lots of it. We’ve all kicked in and gotten in the trenches and helped those who were helpless.  Even the Tennessee Titans came out to help. Check out this Video:

This is why I’m in love with Nashville. I’m proud to call it home. I’m proud to be Realtor here. I’m proud of our community. And this is why “We Are Nashville”.

Even fresh clean water is vital and we have it!

    Holly, glad to hear Nashville citizens are pulling together together to help each other out in this time of need. I have enjoyed visiting Nashville in the past. It is a great town, and from the sound of it is even better with strong community spirit.

    Regards,

    Alan
