At least 22 people were killed, and rescue crews searched desperately Sunday amid shattered homes and tangled debris for dozens of people still missing after record-breaking rain sent floodwaters surging through Middle Tennessee.

Those poor people and they’re searching for the missing.

Very sad indeed.

Tragic. But this is the inevitable consequences when society decides it needs to spend trillions overseas in needless foreign wars rather than to build up the decaying infrastructure. Wise up folks before it's too late.

Exactly. Congress has put the American people so far in debt, but funny how many members of Congress are Millionaires. This Country is too far gone to survive, just making an interest payment on the debt this fiscal year is over $350 Billion. Gone, just on an interest payment, of our money. I could go on, but Congress has damned the lives of the children growing up and they don't care.

But, but guess who voted for all those millionaires? May we think that voting for rich people will make us rich too.

Just heed the Obama/Biden plan to end all foreign tax shelters. That will end the debt instantly. But the Republicans refuse to do so.

Mother Nature came through and this has become political?

I think there are a couple of posters here, who are from Tennessee....if they don't post fairly soon, perhaps they were among those hit.

Did not mean to distract from the pain these people who died went through or their loved ones!

I didn't see your post that way. On the contrary, you expressed a desire to relieve social pain. I join you in that. I think we all do.

R.I.P. the dead and my condolences to their families.

I am assuming maybe wrongly, that the exceptional
amount of rain was due to the hurricane that went up
the coast, but I thought that Tennessee was further inland.

Sad situation really.
