Nashville and middle Tennessee have been hit with what the Corps of Engineers officials tell us is a thousand-year rain event--in a thousand years, we wouldn't expect to have this much rain--and it is providing enormous hardship to the people not just of Nashville and Davidson County but counties in and around Nashville. I wish to give a brief report on what we know about that, what Senator Corker and I and Congressman Cooper and the other Members of Congress from that region are doing, working together, so the people of our area can know what to expect. There is a telephone number to call, and I would like to give it. It is 615-862-8574. It is a telephone number for people in the Nashville- middle Tennessee area who are concerned about what to do, who have an emergency, and who want information about what help may be available to them--615-862-8574.
