May 1st
Nashville, TN
USA
That day was Saturday. It had been raining so much since really early in the morning. On the rainy days I never had anything to do, so all I did was watching Gilmore Girls (I love that show so much! Once I started I can't stop!). But I finished the whole season and got bored eventually. So In the morning I texted my friend, Kira, that lends me her Gilmore Girls third season DVD that I finished watching it. She replied and said that she was sorry that her parent was still watching the fourth season so she can't lend it to me. After a while she texted me again and invited me to come over to her house to kinda hang out. But I already planned with my mom to shop cosmetics for prom make-up in the afternoon, so I said to her I would come over after I shopped. Unexpectedly, she asked me to spend the night also, and of course I accepted the offer! So I packed everything for the sleep over. When I was packing the rain got heavier and heavier, and suddenly my dad called to tell me to get my sisters and go to the basement because there was a tornado warning! I was so panicked and I rushed to get my sisters and my stuffs to the basement. We spread our blanket on the floor and I just read the whole time and the tornado never came. Thank God. Soon my mom came home and took me to Green Hills Mall to buy cosmetics.I got what I needed, and it was quite expensive so my mom helped me pay for some of them, which was very nice of her. I felt so thankful for her!After that we headed to a fabric store to get a long piece of fabric for the accessory for my head scarf. I didn't get anything because there was nothing that match.Because we were short on time (my family had to go to church that night), I asked my friend if she could pick me up at the house and she said she has to ask her dad first, and her dad said that if it's possible and the roads are clear enough he could pick me up. So we back tracked to our house, on the way home we saw a house in our neighborhood that was totally surrounded by water! And the empty lots around that house were flooded too, it looked like a big swamp! We were wondering if there were more houses that were flooded too. We arrived home, my friend picked me up there. Fortunately, the roads to my house wasn't flooded . Some of the roads were covered by water but it wasn't too high.When we were on the way to my friend's house her mom called her and told her that Interstate 24 and roads in Antioch, TN was completely flooded and now a BUILDING was on the interstate. We didn't exactly know how there was a building on an interstate, I thought the building was carried by the flow of the flood and crashed there, but we really wished it was just a building that was carried by a truck and it fell or something. Because of the really bad news we were so worried that something worse might happen if the rain didn't end. And sadly our worry became a reality, something worse did happen, but not at that time. We still didn't know what was going to happen ahead of us. All we knew was some roads were flooded, we didn't really know it was worse than that. Since we didn't know, we just had fun,we made pizza, we playedthe sims 2 for the most time, and we watched gilmore girls (of course). But because it had been raining for the whole day, the rain made the atmosphere kinda gloomy and it made us felt so tired and spiritless you know, so we fell asleep really early. And what happened the next morning was really the worst nightmare we could have ever imagined to ever happen here in Nashville, TN.
