What was originally expected to be a typical Tennessee spring rainstorm in May of 2010 suddenly and swiftly churned into the fourth largest, non-hurricane natural disaster in American history. This memoir is the true, first-hand account of one man's survival during the Nashville floods of 2010, as entire neighborhoods were submerged, streets ran like rapids, and lives were lost.
