Their school was swept away by the flood | Extreme Makeover Home Edition | Full Episode

[@RonusBloodsmith]

Alot I want to say, but know I'm limited. First I really miss this show. EMHE was one of the most uplifting shows on TV and never should have been taken off. Second, I am from Nashville. I moved over 20 years ago and really miss it. When the flood hit my heart broke, I actually lost a couple friends during it. This made me home sick and to all in Nashville, please no matter what always be the Big City, small town attitude I know, and Keep it one of the jewels of the south! Love all of ya!

[@jeffframke1924]

I have family in Clarksville I feel your pain

[@JohnBobbitt-r7h]

Agreed. Too bad they didn't put any thought into the upkeep of the homes they gifted. Almost no one could afford the taxes on these places and ended up on the streets afterwards.

[@angelhutson4707]

I lived in Hickman County at the time and it was definitely a bad thing. Even our County was hit hard.

For those of you wondering, in the south where winter temps don't get so low that you wouldn't want your children walking around outside schools will often have their preschools and kindergartens in trailers or cheaper made structures further from the building so they can be as loud and rambunctious as they want without disturbing anyone else. Its basically their own mini school away from the main school. Personally i remember being a clutz, i remember all my schools having cinderblock walls and fake tile floors so i appreciate the fact that kindergarten had semi-flexable wooden walls and soft carpeting over plywood floors. Made being a clutz less painful.

I’ve watched many of these shows and honestly believe this was best ever!

[@kennethatienza2732]

I miss this show, and I am looking for this for a long time ago. I was able to watch this on Lifestyle Network TV when I was in high school way back 2007 and 2008. From old and rotten to renovated houses. This time, I am so impressed on the renovation of a flooded primary school. I still remember back then when I was a former educator in my home country, giving our learners a bright future. It may seem challenging, but never giving up on achieving their dreams. :)

I'm just tearing 😭😭 up , I'm so happy for everyone in this area of Nashville ❤

[@TheAshwini30]

The best part was reaction of teachers n the kids were so happy to c their school ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤what a perfect moment god bless those teachers n kids love from india

[@Strangernightg]

Just seeing the principal alone giving all those kids high five brought tears to my eyes !!! It's a wonderful sight to see someone of authority giving them a sense of love ❤️ !

[@michaelaldredge-greenwell1692]

My heart is breaking, watching these amazing people from EMHE work their magic to come rescue others, to lift their spirits, to bring their hearts & hands to bring Lighthouse a new, better life! I’m crying

[@sharongagnist6428]

This has to be the best makeover they've done!! Awesome!

[@baileyostrom2972]

28:10 The family’s reaction to Carrie Underwood standing right in front of them was AMAZING! I would SO do what the little boy did run to her and hug her and NEVER let go! 😍

[@IMChrysalis]

So much gratitude that it was a Saturday, no children inside that school house!🙏😳

[@LadyVoldemort]

Adorable children, beautiful teachers, awesome family, so happy to see them all so happy!

[@kathycruse6693]

This show is needed so badly right now.

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

I went to the Grand Ole Opry and had an amazing tour. It’s only like 40 bucks so I recommend it to everyone. I can’t wait to go again! The video they show you before the tour is so good too. They give you the knowledge about what the flood did to the place and you can still see the water line on some of the walls. I’m 6 ft talk and it was waistline to me. Just crazy how that can happen.

[@beckysteinberger5602]

This is so amazing and awesome! Best makeover ever!

Wat do u mean? That's exactly wat it says!

@@jaynengerengere3494 4 days ago Bennykwai asked why it said slept away. I see it's been corrected now.

Wow...Carrie UnderWood😊😊 Jesus Takes the Wheel.

[@angelhutson4707]

I remember this flood. I lived in TN at the time. It was so bad.

[@natashamiller4860]

Wait! This isn’t the same school that was affected by the recent school shooting several months back, was it?

[@Noname-cn4ly]

I know I’m an old lady, but is there really over 30 preschoolers in each of those 4 classrooms? 😳😳😱

[@judyfenske1429]

Yes. It is worse in 2023, because teachers are quitting. That puts 40 students to a one (1) teacher classroom. The student teachers are not paid. Substitute teachers are underpaid. Yes. Our kids are shortchanged.

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

Yes because there’s not enough teachers nowadays. Many people wanted to be teachers back in the day, now not so much. I’m a OIF Paratrooper Army military vet and they have a program for us to become teachers. Not trying to say this in a bad way but we aren’t the best teachers for “kids” maybe high up teenagers but not small children lol. We would cuss and tell war stories haha. Point being, that’s how bad teachers are needed because they will pay for our (Army Vets/Grunts 😂) college so we can teach. Also, you’re not old if you know how to do this KZbin thing haha. 😊 Be well.

Given the cost of wood I can't believe how much they chuck away that can be re-used or even donated to someone who can't afford it.

[@donaldlindsey1781]

It was warped and unusable, or they would have

[@BuckyBarnesNC]

Many people don’t understand It was warped, or they couldn’t use it again sadly. Or they would have.

[@WhiteArrow76]

This idea sounds more helpful than it actually is.

[@TheFiown]

Here in France wood like this along with old doors and furniture is turned into pellets for central heating, even sawdust is made into this. Many home here are installing pellet burning boilers so they have to be kept fed. @@BuckyBarnesNC

[@graciemyers4397]

it's so funny to see people mad over a simple misspelled word😂😂

[@technork01]

everything is build in wood , and that floats, use bricks and cement and it will keep standing

[@johnwest9577]

Our daughter's house in Nashville was a brick house. It got flooded up past the windows and electric socks. To repair it they would have to tear everything out & treat for mold. It was better to tear it down and build a new house with the living space on a second story. True, brick houses don't float away, but in a flood they are ruined nearly beyond repair.

[@brittanyfischer1812]

Epic pep rally never forget

[@Noname-cn4ly]

So just wondering…….do people not have insurance to cover all this loss and damage to their homes?

[@JustGigi319]

If you're not in a designated flood zone, flood insurance is usually optional and not a requirement.

[@donaldlindsey1781]

Not everyone can afford the insurance, especially if it’s claimed to be a floodplain

[@barnabus1976]

Most insurance I've seen have a blanket "we don't pay for acts of god" disclaimer

[@justinl.shults7217]

This is not to say anything bad about Carrie Underwood sense Carrie Underwood is A very talented and beautiful singer, It's just her last name is distracting with my step-dad's maiden name and that is "Underwood" So I'll usually be asked or he'll be asked every now and then "Are You/ Is Your Step-Dad Realated To Carrie Underwood??" So me and my Step-dad will usually tell them "If I/He Was We're Still Waiting On Some Money She Owe's Us From Her Concerts 🎸".

[@georgestokes5116]

i think they knew these people were coming

"They're having a prep rally, they have no idea we're coming..." yeah, except for all the cameras all over the gym! God, people are so gullible!

SERIOUSLY? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to read the statement and know it’s a typo for “swept”….🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@barnabus1976]

Erm... Autocorrect maybe???

[@scottsasser7749]

And I was interested in that show at first I watched it a lot how many people actually were on here that have got houses or whatever and still have their houses why don't you show the ones that lost them houses it's all a bunch of b******* they should have been able to keep their houses we need to know why they don't have their houses no more after being on the show how the show messed it up to where they lost their houses or why they lost their own homes

[@WhiteArrow76]

9 Families had to give up their homes because they fell on hard times during the Recession. That only accounts for 5% of the show's recipients During the Recession Habitat for Humanity saw over 3,000 partner families nationwide lose their homes under the exact same circumstances. A single chapter in Florida saw over 70 foreclosures between 2007 and 2013.

[@soccerplyr8]

Great so the teachers go paid for a full year off and not just the 4 months they all ready get off.

[@rj-zz8im]

Let me guess, you built back in the same spot? Which is flood prone...great. No wonder insurance is so high, gotta pay for the the ignorance, but nostalgia is oh so much more important.

[@kamif.9735]

Did you watch the video? The Middle/High School wasn't affected by the flood because it was up on a hill and after 12 minutes they mentioned that the pre-school will move to another place to prevent damage from another flood. I really don't understand why people are so bitter in their comments. :(

[@barnabus1976]

No, stupid. They built about 20ft higher up. He does quite clearly say that

[@hopper60canuck52]

Is there a fire sprinkler system installed ??
