We were beaten with many new recent weeks. Another scandal on Wall Street, the oil spill in the Gulf and the car bomb Times Square not to mention the riots Greek market and diving is a historic day. This draws our attention and gave us concern future together. But Nashville is the flood disaster of epic proportions not receiving its share of national coverage.

The fact that it is worst local flooding in the 80s and led to billions of dollars in damages and the loss of dozens of people who have contributed to the new front page even if it was under the CAP. The ritual almost every year the Mississippi overflows its bed is covered by the media of the source of the river all the way Delta to New Orleans, a process that could take weeks. There were some pictures of the flooding in Nashville, network news, however, the devastation caused by rain and floods resulting is low since the new organizations tend to report what other reports.

Maybe it's because I have never heard of the Cumberland River. Or that know little about Nashville, except that he is famous for country music and Grand Ole Opry. Maybe it's as simple as the story is not framed policy. Tennessee are independent and autonomous people – the "Volunteer State" and all that. They take care of each other and do not seek a way out of hand, but will accept a helping hand.

The hosts managed evacuations or brought in food and supplies. They took care of their own houses, damaged by 13 inches of rain in the hours, and then helped their immediate neighbors and surrounding communities. And there were few reports of looting. This could well be a case study about what Americans can do rather than wait for what is often slow and inefficient help government, in spite of Homeland Security showed up and promised assistance needed.

The people of Nashville do not depend on or blame the federal government for what could be the largest non-hurricane disaster this country has known. One, which has caused more damage in the region than any other event since the Civil War. You'll have lots of money and work hard to restore normal life.

He requested assistance those who owe their wealth and fame in Nashville. Country singer Taylor Swift has given $ 500,000 to the cause. Kenny Chesney wrote a song that can be downloaded for free, which makes the public about what happened. And members of the Tennessee Titans was presented to help clean NFL damage.

Like the people of Nashville and surrounding counties to continue the cleanup effort cost the nation begins to learn more the tragedy in Tennessee. Obviously, funds and work outside will be needed to help manage the problems of the city "Music" But ordinary people find a way to pass through the consequences and better. And the people of Nashville will be more like a community, which took over all problem. What's more American than that?

They said on the radio last night that the people of Florida have been getting sick and get rashes from swimming in their pools. They test the water (many sites) and contains a little oil and toxic chemicals that are in the Corexit. How did you swim in the polls? Water evaporates and becomes rain. In because of the breakdown of the oil droplets in Corexit tiny, oil and Corexit be supported in the rain, and down the people, cultures, and knows where else. I am happy not to live there.
