By now I’m sure you’ve all seen a news blurb or some photos of the Nashville flooding. Some reports are calling it a 500 year flood. Each Trew Audio employee knows someone with damage or loss. We are all mourning the deaths of nearly 30 citizens in Tennessee, the majority right here in Nashville. The Nashville touring music industry is under water as the warehouses, sound stages, and rehearsal spaces for productions are surrounded by debris and putrid water. Flood plains are not the story, historical record rain in a 48 hour period is. I personally remember the 1993 Midwest flooding of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers as a child in the Ozark Mountains, but nothing could prepare me for the devastation I saw today in the city I’ve called home for 11 years. Trew Audio still stands, dry as a bone, but in the shadow of a levee with at least one weak breech. The Nashville Office of Emergency Management let us visit our office for a few hours this afternoon. We lifted all computers, rental gear, and merchandise off of the floor, just in case something happens before we can return. We hope to return soon, but have no way of knowing exactly when that will be. Nashville is dangerously low on clean water, and thousands are homeless, with that in perspective, we appreciate that our store still stands.
A word of thanks to all of you whom have emailed, Facebook messaged, and otherwise contacted our staff. We do appreciate the concern. In addition we sincerely appreciate your patience with us during this time. We want to return to work and a normal functioning life as soon as possible.
Here are just a few photos I took on my trip downtown today.
