Nashville has flooded

A few weeks ago, Nashville flooded. I was fortunate to not have any personal damage to my home, but there are many in this city who have. I still have not yet found the words to describe my own thoughts, but I feel the need to share those of others. One of my best friends, for example, had this to say about what it was like during those days.

In the wake of the flood, many people have pulled together to help one another out. It has been amazing to be a part of this community, helping out my neighbors as I watch others doing the same in their neighborhoods. But I, like many others, are a little concerned about the narratives surrounding the flooding and the comparisons that are being made between Nashville and New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina (thanks to Jenn Lena for bringing this to my attention). So in the space left from the lack of my own thoughts, I leave you with theirs.
