The Great Nashville Flood of 2010

Luckily, my house didn't really take much damage during last weekend's big storm and flood.

I did discover a leak in my first floor bedroom, though.  There was some dampness on the ceiling and a little bubbling/blistering of paint along the top of one of the interior walls.  I poked a hole with a needle to let it drain.. It is kind of strange since I didn't see any leaks in the room upstairs.  Right now, I'm trying to find a roofer.  I think I'm going to replace the roof since it is a bit old (installed in 1996).

After hearing that one of my neighbor's crawl space had flooded, I decided to check mine out Tuesday morning.  At first I thought everything was fine since I only saw a few puddles on the vapor barrier (i.e. plastic sheets over the dirt).  But when I tried to crawl in so I could look further inside, I discovered about 2 inches of water beneath the vapor barrier.  Luckily, by Wednesday afternoon, all the water had been reabsorbed into the ground.

Here is a link to some pictures of the flooding:
