The Great Flood of 2010

Flood Warnings. Road Closings. School Closings. Curfews. All of these things have happened in the past couple of days. We have gotten TONS and TONS of rain this past weekend. The river walk downtown Clarksville where we take Halle to play has risen well above the playground area. It was high enough to cover restuarants and all shops and businesses in that part of the downtown area. It is truly amazing how high the water has actually gotten. People say that haven't seen it this bad in 30 years. We are lucky that our house has remained dry and safe for us to stay in. There are alot of people who can't get out of their house b/c of road closings and several people who were rescued have had to spend the last couple of days at churches for shelter. Nashville got around 13 inches or more and Clarksville got close to that.


Our backyard... It got higher than this, but luckily it didn't reach the house
