Until it actually happens to YOU, a person can't understand the desperation and hopelessness that comes with this kind of disaster... Our prayers are with them (and the Grand Ole Opry...). |

Location: East Tennessee | I've seen some pictures of The Opryland Hotel they got hit pretty bad. Minor damage at the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
I wonder if Gruhn Guitars moved some of their inventory to higher ground. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | There is water over the stage at the Opry...The Ryman seems to have been spared...Gruhn's seems to be ok although I have a report of water on the street level...I do not know about Roy Acuff's Museum: a lot of vintage instruments there...seeing the pictures of the water over the stage at the Opry is sad...I was on stage there in 1993 w/ my late friend Charlie Lilly...The Opryland Hotel is badly flooded...if you have ever seen the gardens and the atrium's there, it is sad to think they are under water...estimate damage just at the Hotel of 10 Million... |

| Predictable, maybe, but you'd really have to pay attention to history. |

Even though the media is playing up downtown and the Opry complex, the worst areas are west of town. If you're familiar, Bellevue was a major disaster.
Those of us who live in the hills are suffering survivors guilt. The only thing I have to complain about is that my golf course is closed for a few weeks. Very fortunate here. |

The Ryman is uphill a coupla feet from the crick so it should be fine.
History repeats itself...

Location: nashville | The GOO Goo Dolls played the Ryman Monday and Gruhn was not hit. They were canoeing between the goalpost on the football field were my kids go to school behind my house. It was up 4 ft in the classrooms. We were high enough to miss it but several homes in my subdivision were not as lucky. Form the air It looked like Katrina but there seems to be little national attition w/ the oil spill and the boomer. Has any heard if the President has even mentioned it?? No fly over as yet. |
