Last weekend, the Cumberland River crested at its highest level in over 80 years. For those of you not familiar with Nashville, the Cumberland River runs right through downtown. Nashville recorded its highest rainfall totals since records began. Many people are saying this is the single largest disaster to hit Middle Tennessee since the Civil War.
It was surreal for me to watch the video footage of our old neighborhood of Franklin. I even saw footage from our old subdivision of people being rescued in boats. Many of our friends were forced to evacuate; some lost so much.
With all of the destruction, some boys managed to make the best of their situation by wakeboarding in a parking lot! (Unfortunately, it didn’t end up too well for them. Come on, were the handcuffs really necessary?)
Bethel World Outreach, our sister church in Nashville, is partnering with Samaritan’s Purse to assist in the relief and recovery efforts. You can learn more about this here.
