Opryland Hotel is a disaster . Very sad

WolfyOne · 05-03-2010, 01:03 PM

I was on the phone with Spirit Dancer about 20 minutes ago and she was stuck at gas station she went to to get stuff for her family because the river or lake near her crested. She's hoping to find a way back to her family right now. She was about 2 miles up the road from them when it happened.

Apocalipstic · 05-03-2010, 01:09 PM

Phone reception is sketchy on cell and most land lines are out for a while.

They say it will take months to fix it all. I am so glad they did NOT listen to the corps of engineers who said the river would crest at 48.

I think that entire neighborhood is cut off.

Oh. I guess I could go look things up. But I do like it when Wolfy follows me around and caters to all my whims.

I am not sure I know who that is?

I just spoke to SD, the water did go down in her area but now it is flooding again. She is trying to get out now and back to the hotel. She has experienced some gas price gouging a little while ago. This one gas station was priced at 2.99 and when she stopped it was up to 3.99 (this happen within a few hours). She did call to report the price gouging. That is NUTS!

afixer · 05-03-2010, 02:06 PM

I have several friends up there, all are fine only loosing stuff.

Apocalipstic · 05-03-2010, 02:09 PM

People just suck, you know.

Like last night as they were evacuating Opryland Hotel for the good of the guests, they were bitching up a storm. How they had to wait, how nothing was gonna happen, when they should have been thankful!

and now gas gouging? WTF????????

I can't concentrate today, my brain may be melted.

Wondering how high the rivers will go. Wondering who at Fema is in charge of approving the levees. Wondering what kind of effect having so much convention business to Nashville lost will have. Wishing I could have 3 days of peaceful sleep in one of those chambers where you are sensory deprived...cause I am on sensory overload.

did their homes flood?

Spirit Dancer · 05-03-2010, 04:03 PM

Thanks for all the prayers, yes the phones are on and off. OHB is now open but there is road damage from flooding so near the Hermitage it has One lane each way passable but still water on it.
OH Dam is releasing water by the hour to save the pressure from the other levy. Oy we are blessed and safe. Thanks to Snack for keeping us imformed and in the loop when there was no power.
Hope everyone is safe

Apocalipstic · 05-03-2010, 04:18 PM

Glad you are OK SD! xoxoxoxoxoxox

The Bridgestore Arena (former GEC), Opryland Hotel, the Wildhorse, the new Schermerhorn and LP field are all deep in water...which is still rising and up to Third Avenue now.

This is insane.

29 Metro Schools have taken on water.

I hope everyone gets home safe and sound tonight.

Its so weird that its all sunny and blue outside.

Spirit Dancer · 05-03-2010, 04:23 PM

xxoxoxoxoxoxoxox Glad you're safe
and yes it's SURREAL
Be careful going home.

The latest report I have gotten from the Tennessean's website is saying they expect the Cumberland to crest at 52.5 ft. The Opryland Hotel was up to 10 ft of water and still rising. Hopefully the release of water from Old Hickory Lake will help alleviate a bit of the damage when the river does crest. After that maybe as the flood waters recede and they can assess the damages the cleanup and rebuilding of our Midstate can begin. Hope everyone got home safe tonight from work. Shad

Billy · 05-04-2010, 11:56 AM

Non-Nashvillians: please spread the word, in case folks don't grasp the severity of what's going on. Temporary shelters are at capacity, missing people are unaccounted for, many homes are under water, we're in a water conservation emergency, much of Nashville's economic base is threatened by flood damage, etc, etc. We're going to need help. Text 'REDCROSS' to 90999 to donate $10 to disaster relief. Thanks

PearlsNLace · 05-04-2010, 12:14 PM

Hey TN folks, I know we are 5 hours away (now that the I-40) is open. But if you need a place to stay for a few days while its crazy, contact me. we can make room.

Camp for this weekend has been postponed until further notice. All of the area Lake access parks are closed at least until later in the month. Old Hickory Beach is apparently under water.

So sorry!

Will let you all know as soon as we come up with a new date
