Nashville Flood 2010: The Disaster You May Not Have Heard About
A great American city is currently buried under a sea of water, but you may not know much about it given all the attention media have given to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the failed car bomb attempt in New York's Times Square.
The rain totals are almost unimaginable as is the flooding.
Damage estimates at this point have already surpassed a billion dollars, and are likely to go higher.
My Hometown Paducah Ky is about 25 miles or so downstream of where the Cumberland joins the Ohio
Flooding there seems to be pretty much out in the country due to Barkley Dam
Flooding below Barkley Dam and Interstate 24 (background) is extensive. Barge companies are adjusting their routes, and the U.S. Coast Guard ordered recreational vessels off the Ohio and Cumberland rivers and Kentucky and Barkley lakes. The unprecedented ban is expected to continue until at least Monday. Violators could face a fine up to $32,500.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard is warning that some rural parts of Kentucky are about to be inundated by the worst flooding in 200 years
