Today was sunny with a high of 80 degrees. Yet, my city is still suffering.
Trevecca recovering from weekend floods in the city.
While Trevecca’s campus is located on a hill, the weekend floods in Nashville did affect the campus. Today, Monday, May 3, campus personnel are assessing the damage from the unprecedented events of the weekend.
The most damage occurred in buildings located near Brown’s Creek, which rose more than 4 feet in an hour. The building that houses plant operations and the print shop sustained water damage. Equipment and supplies were damaged.
Other damage occurred in the basements of some buildings, and these buildings are without electrical power today: McClurkan, Martin, Wakefield, and Greathouse.
Residence halls were not affected; students have food service, and other campus services are operating.
Today’s classes were canceled; final exams that were scheduled for today have been postponed until Thursday.

DEATH TOLL Nashville flooding deaths stand at 8; 14 dead statewide.

LANDMARKS Parts of the Opryland Hotel are under 10-19 feet of water, and the water is still rising. Country Music Hall of Fame is under five feet of water. LP field (titans play football here) is underwater. From the Cumberland to 4th avenue is underwater. Bicentennial Mall area is underwater.
