Gotta take a water break...A LOT OF WATER break

Well, there has to be a pause to the program for a while. Apparently, there are just too many people in Nashville, TN that's not living right and an apocalypse teaser was thrust upon us, this weekend. Rain started Friday night and did not end until last night.

I was lucky. I lost power for about 15 hours. Things blacked out for me as I was getting ready for the Yoga workout. I tried to convince myself that something much greater than myself was stepping in to tell me that P90X Yoga was an abomination and should be cast aside. At the moment, there are over 11,000 customers that are estimated to still not have electricity.

I was lucky. My house is on a hill. My yard is torn up from the water that ran down that hill. Water seeped into a storage building I may have lost a weed eater and a leaf blower. There are people that have 4 foot or more of standing water in their living rooms.

I was lucky. I have a water lovin' dog with webbed paws. If it had gotten that bad, I could have just tied the end of his leash around my waist and Ludwig could have taken us to higher ground. However, he does get easily distracted and very well could have taken off after a tree limb floating down-stream and we could be screwed. There are people that are still on the top of there cars or on the roofs of their homes awaiting a water rescue.

This morning, one of the local TV stations was showing a movie that was at least 15 years old. I wondered why they were doing that when there was so much going on. I saw the reason being explained as the words were scrolling across the bottom of the screen. Everyone in the studio and in that part of town had been evacuated, during the night and programing was being controlled from another location. I flipped over to another local station that was broadcasting. They were reporting that 6 people had been reported as having lost their lives, this weekend.

I was lucky.
