The South needs you!

Hey guys,

TENNESSEE NEEDS YOUR HELP! CALL YOUR LOCAL NEWS STATION, WRITE YOUR GOVERNOR, EMAIL OBAMA...

Millions and probably billions of dollars worth in damage has come to middle TN in the past few days because of the flood that started Saturday night (May 1, 2010). We need your help! This is urgent but no one seems to care about us. National media won't cover this because they are more worried about a car bomb attempt or an oil spill (important stories, but this is something worth sharing too)

hundreds of houses (without flood insurance) under water

by Eric Hamiter




I just got off the phone with my brother who lives in my home town Kingston Springs, Tn. He and his wife were finally able to get out of their neighborhood do to the flood waters. Their house and belonging are fine, but unfortunately the rest of the city cannot cay the same. 4 houses at the end of their street were wiped away from rushing waters. Youtube search for Nashville flood and you'll find hundreds of videos of people's properties, cars, houses, everything, being washed away. It's heart-breaking to know that so many friends and family have lost so much. Most people do not have flood insurance since this is such a freak catastrophe and are now left with nothing

I say this all with absolute remorse. My prayers go out to everyone who has lost so much.
