The flood of Nashville

I never felt so frightened in my life as water cornered our house and threatened to take it over. I never felt so blessed just to lose the food supply of the refrigerator.
I never felt so sad to see so many homes destroyed from so much water and I never was so amazed at the generosity of people in need.
I never felt so in awe of what nature can do and what terrible consequences it can bring. I never felt so helpless realizing how much my life depends on so much around me.
In the end, I'm alive, I'm OK and my house escaped flood damage but so many around me did not. Somehow baseball teams mean so little to you when you watch the world around you drown from a real disaster.
