Care to give the rest of us who DON’T live in Nashville a clue as to what caused this?
I think it was probably a lot of rain . . .
From what I’m hearing we had over 8” of rain in a very short period of time...just a few hours. I’m also afraid to say that they are forecasting more of the same for tonight and tomorrow...so stay tuned.
Torrential rains all day long, tornado threats.... bad weather that had massive amt of rain. We got 8” here and some areas 10”-12” in a short period of time.
Well...rain. Lots of it. I think we got 18”.
I live 140 miles Southwest of Nashville on the Tenn/Miss line. We have had 11 inches of rain and four more tornado warnings...North of us it is worse. This system was predicted to be worse than last weekends system. We didn’t get an F-4 but lots of dangerous wind and rain. The weather has been training in a Northeasterly direction and is why Nashville has gotten swamped 3 hours after we got it.
A lot of rain, but the landscape has a lot to do with it too, a lot of hills and dales in Nashville and surrounding area. Been looking at the pictures on wsmv.com just shaking my head, unbelievable
