Strong Storms Hit Tennessee

Since yesterday the state of Tennessee has been under extremely strong thunder storms, high winds, tornadoes, flooding and all-in-all - record breaking weather!
Needless to say, it's a tad unnerving riding out the storms!  Storms - meaning that as one passes - we are bombarded with even more!!! 
Yesterday was a never-to-be-forgotten sight as the Interstate 24 toward Franklin and Cool Springs areas, (a tad south of Nashville), became a river.  Semi-trucks and cars became submerged under water  - with what used to be a highway!  A house was seen floating down the new Interstate 24 river and then smashed into a semi-truck - breaking it to pieces!! People were stranded everywhere, parking lots and streets became rivers, flooding many streets and back yards, roads washed out completely!  Police rescue boats being launched onto what used to be Interstate 24! Several highways were closed in parts: I-24, I-65 and I-40!  Definately record breaking rainfall and weather and something we won't soon forget!!!
