An incredibly freakish storm setup brought unprecedented amounts of rain to middle Tennessee. For two consecutive days, Nashville received over half a foot of rain (each day!!!) for a total of nearly 14 inches. On each day, an MCS dropped into the region, but stalled out at almost the exact same location withouth losing any strength. Such an event has an absolutely tiny probability of happening. It could possibly end up being the most expensive non-tropical weather disaster in US history.

The list of Nashville attractions that are flooded is amazing: The Grand Ol Opry, Opryland Hotel, Opry Mills, LP Field, 1st and 2nd Avenue, etc, etc. I was not present for this event. But I watched the entire thing thanks to the internet. The following day, I convinced Mom and Dad to go around town and take pictures. They did an excellent job and have a very comprehensive collection of photos. Following the pictures is a nearly 48-hour-long radar loop of the event. It's one of the craziest sets of radar data I've ever seen.

Thanks to Mom and Dad for driving around Nashville to get these photos.
