Water Water Everywhere!

I love rain and thunderstorms but this was ridiculous! We got around 8 inches of rain within a day and a half and it basically ruined our Sunday. We had plans but when they said they could make us evacuate we stuck around in case we needed to pack up and go. You know how much two babies would need!? We didnt have to but there was more water behind our building than I thought Id ever see.

This was early Sunday morning.

This is right behind our building. That brown thing is a picnic table.

A closer pic of the picnic table later Sunday afternoon. The water had raised a little bit more. If youre wondering, NO I didnt get in the water for these. Theres a place in between apartments that was above the water.

Theres the playground! Wont be going there anymore!


If you can believe it the water did rise even more but I didnt take any more photos. Our building kind of became an island though the water on one side was just a few inches but the water did reach all the way around our building including flooding the other half of the parking lot. This is what happens when it rains nonstop for an entire weekend in TN.

  1. That's kinda scary! Glad you and your family are okay :) I have a cousin who lives in Nashville, but haven't heard if he was affected by the flooding.
