Devastation

This past week has been unlike any other we have ever experienced. The flooding of middle Tennessee has been almost incomprehensible. The rain started last Friday and did not let up until late Sunday night. We received more than 12" at our home. The devastation to so many middle Tennessee counties is heart breaking. Honestly, I still can not grasp the scope of this disaster even after seeing hundreds of pictures and hours of news footage. We were not personally affected. Our home is fine. Our yard and landscaping will need some reconstructing, which is not out of the ordinary after a heavy rain.

Paul has had the opportunity to help his friend Rob, who owns the ServPro in Bellevue, one of middle Tennessee's hardest hit areas. He has been working 10-14 hour days this past week so Luke and I have not seen much of him. Most mornings he is gone by 7 and is home well after Luke has gone to bed. We have missed him, but know he is helping those in need. Paul will continue to work with Rob this week and as long as Rob needs him. We are thankful for the opportunity but hate that it is under these circumstances. The media is saying the one good thing to come of the flooding is that it will put thousands of people back to work in construction and restoration. We are just thankful that we are fine and that no one we know was affected.
