NOT normally a river. This is usually on open field next to the Harpeth River.
Harpeth River on Old Hillsboro Road.
As of 7:30 p.m. we have recorded 10.5 inches of rain in our rain gauge - just TODAY. The rains are still coming... and are forecasted all day tomorrow as well. The Harpeth River is covering most of Franklin... roads are closed everywhere. I believe this is a record rainfall for Franklin.
Truly, I have never seen anything like this... Our garden washed away earlier today. The new gravel road we had laid (just last week) on our wooded land is washed away also. Two leaks in the house so far but thankfully, our basement is still dry (thank you sump pump!). Tornadoes in the area this afternoon... Cecily and I were at her school at the time and ended up spending about 30 minutes in a bathroom sitting on the floor. Once it was safe to get out again, we drove home in torrential rain, with water pouring over Old Hillsboro Road the whole way home. Thankful today that our family is all together and safe.
