good job lol!!!

Wow. This is very powerful. Thank you for sharing this.

It's hard to believe it's been a year already. This is a beautiful video.

This video deserves the approvers choice award! Thank God for Nashville!

My house was not affected but half of my friends houses were flooded and it was so hard to drive through the town i grew up in and the devastation caused to my neibors and friends. Everyone worked together to rebuild and kept our hopes up. Nasheville is once again the great city it was before. We will all remember wat happened those days and that will keep us strong. WE ARE NASHVILLE

It's interesting. I live just an hour and a half away, and we only got a slight storm. I guess living up the mountain counts for something. Hate to see fellow Tennesseeans in trouble like that. Best wishes to everybody!!

What is Nashville like now?, will be there 15th August

God bless the good people of Nashville. THIS story deserves a national piece on 60 Minutes or Oprah Winfrey. The incredible devastation and the fact that you've taken care of it on your own is a testament to the character of Music City. Keep on keeping on. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

good bless Nashville,i was devastated when i heard about this cause im moving there in a few years.....i wish i could do something to everybody there,i heard that brad paisleys tour bus was under water i dont know if thats true or not

I live in Murfreesboro and I had to go drop my dad off at the airport that day! Glad I survived

You lost a lot Nashville, just as we did in Cedar Rapids Iowa in 2008. But you still have the music. Carry on.

EVery one in my family lives up there moms house got destroyed lucky i was on vaction to bad my brother didnt make it he was 10 and stuck in basement :,(

Thank you so much for posting this video.

All of you need to be so proud of yourselves. :)

@imatelly It was nearly 48 hours of torrential rains/flash flooding that caused it.. so kinda both.

@lauradoestheastro Yeah, I was staying up late and was watching Channel 5 weather the early morning hours of May 1st. We were having 'afternoon' storms in the middle of the night, because the temperatures were in the upper 70's. It didn't help that almost all day May 1st AND May 2nd there were torrential rains.

I live about 5 minutes from downtown, and I am student. The flood happened the day before we had state tests, and we got out of school for a week. we only had about 4 inches in our basement, so we were considered lucky. I have classmates who lost everything. The week we were out of school, my school, Glencliff High, went out and helped tremendously. It was amazing at how much the flood affected EVERYONE I know. It's hard to see the city i call home be damaged so severely.

@potanda May 1st & 2nd it rained. The water stayed around different amounts of time at different places.

The true spirit of hard working Americans NOT expecting a handout. Many got burnt by their insurance companies because they were "NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE" God bless all You in Nashville!!!! Wish others could learn from your example of being "Brushed under the rug" yet, taking care of business, and moving on. Glad Knoxville was able to help some. Thoughts with you all.

Thanks for the video.

Leave it to the Volunteer state to rise to the occasion and take care of things for themselves. I am so sorry to see this-I love Nashville-my youtube name is friend of TN. for that reason-oh I'm praying for y'all. God bless -thank you for posting this!

@rugg64039 LOL.....HAARP bothers me, but I don't think this one was its fault. So many were swamped on the expressway because of traffic backing up due to flooding ahead, extreme rain, etc... When the rivers, lakes, and creeks finally overcame their banks, everything surrounding was flash-flooded. It was very sobering and surreal.

@patbahn ummm....okay? Somebody's missing the point here. Try to keep up Pat; okay buddy? We all appreciate the help from our troops; I too am in the service. There is no harm in taking pride in the closeness of our community and that's what we're doing here. Grab a little salsa for that chip on your shoulder and lets get back to the video.

well it looks like batman still stood his gorund(hopefully)

Wow one of my all time favorite places. It makes me angry that we can broadcast everything away from home but when it comes to home (USA) we forget! :(

I was in Nashville with a tour of 51 Irish people from Philadelphia. We were trying to go to Memphis on Sunday and got stranded in Kingston Springs. The very fine folks there treated us with gracious hospitality, giving us sandwiches and water from Quizznos and letting us hold a ceilidh (Irish Party) in the parking lot of the gas station we were parked at. We will be holding a benefit for the town at our local Irish Center to help raise some money to rebuild. God bless you all!

From the upper cumberland, stay strong and don't let this get you down. Oh yea to all the people viewing Tennessee is the best place on earth,along with most of the people.

Amazing video. My heart breaks for everyone who lost in this flood, whether it was a loved one, home, business, or pet. God Bless you all.

True American Spirit. This is how we used to handle things before it got profitable to whine and cry. Our company has a branch up there that was shut down for days. As SOON as they could get to work, they did. How many people do you Really know with as much heart as these good folk?

I have a friend, who has a sister, that lost everything she had. She now has another place to live and is getting on with life but is now suffering health problems due to the flooding. The flood waters were a chemical stew, and that exposure has now put her in the emergency room several times since the flooding.

@Wildwildmel Rain

What a disaster! News of the flooding was all over the local, national and even entertainment news in Peoria IL so I'm not sure where the 15 minute thing comes in. The Nashville area along with so much of TN is just beautiful. This flood is a tragedy and frightening in its destructive effects. Weird, violent, extreme weather destroyed so much but I'm hoping that healing and recovery can soothe broken hearts and homes.

Nashville is an incredible city. It is one of my favorite places to visit. This video is disturbing because the news medium has failed to show us the extent of damage. God Bless Nashville and all its people. May you preserver.

Best wishes from the UK- Shocking this hasn't got the news coverage it deserves.

Thank you! for posting this. I had NO IDEA!!! I guess the lack of interest in you is because there's no way to blame Bush for it.

@kalhabana thanks our folks lost thier homes n our thankful for people lik u god bless u n thanks

What happened? Was it from a dam break? A river overflow? Rain Storm?

NOTE: Went to make donation and found that it's CFMT dot org vs. the other spelling given at 3:53 seconds of video. Proud of people here!

God Bless You Nashville!! You're a shining example of what America is all about -- helping each other out (another appropriate song would have been Paul McCartney's "Peace In The Neighborhood -- helpin' each other out"). Our prayers are with you all!

GOD BLESS YOU Nashville your in my prayers .Your so strong .

when did this happen 0_o

This is what America is about, helping one another, taking care of neighbor when in trouble. God bless Nashville, and I hope everyone is back on their feet.

Most of this actually happened in one day, May 2nd. I live outside of Nashville but I was there that weekend for a convention. On May 1 it was like any other storm, some flood warnings, a tornado watch or two--all perfectly normal. On the 2nd my mom and I got up to go to church and then I was going to return to the convention... we never made it to either. We did, thankfully, make it out of Nashville relatively unscathed.

I was just here with my sisters in early March and this saddens me so much. I am not surprised that the lovely local residents pitched in together and took care of themselves. <3

First time in Nashville was a week befor this flood. I'm from Canada and I was heartbroken. The city, the people were awesome, loved it. Will be back!!!! you will be bigger and better!!!!

Mississippi is proud of y'all! We held our own in Katrina as well! Thank you for this video! It needs to be seen!

You are right. You didn't get the attention you rightly deserve. I hope everyone in the US sees this. You are setting an example. What tough, proud people you are. Best of luck with the clean up and recovery. Keep the videos coming. The media isn't interested in any stories without violence.

I would just like to say that I could not be more proud to live in the great city of Nashville, TN. I could not be more happy in how well this city handled this great tragedy. We all pitched in and helped each other...I love it. WE ARE NASHVILLE!!!!!!

@kalhabana Thank You my 'Great White North' Canadian Neighbour! I live in Sarnia during the summer, have been since 1961 when I was born...absolutely Love it!!!
