Down Came the Rain…

Nashville_Flood-05-03-2010

The flooding that took place in Nashville during the weekend of April 30th has effected me in a number of ways. First, I was actually out driving in the downpour during the late afternoon on Saturday, and I witnessed first hand the power of rushing water and its ability to move a car down the road, despite the best attempts at steering. For me, as a native Chicagoan, I thought I’d faced just about all sorts of weather-related incidents on the road, but it was rather unnerving to swerve in one direction while the rain pushes you in another and there’s nothing you can do but just “ride it out” as you would when you hit a patch of ice.
