Award of Excellence: Nashville Underwater
May 2, 2010
The first weekend in May of 2010 brings a constant rain storm for two days without any let up, causing the Cumberland River in Nashville to flood. More rain fell in a 24 hour period than ever before. Throughout the city many residents were forced from their homes and businesses. Evacuations and rescue teams worked for hours to help get people to shelter. Here an Oklahoman family wades through water to seek refuge at a nearby Days Inn near downtown Nashville.
