<p>Hey folks! I am getting ready to head south to Tuscaloosa from Ohio…</p>
<p>Is it safe to go through Nashville with the flooding or should I try the Knoxville/ Chattanoga
route?</p>
<p>I have tried a few different web sites and nothing is showing concerning the roads being open or shut!</p>
<p>Any input would be welcomed!!</p>
<p>This morning I heard that there are still roads & bridges closed and power outages (gas stations closed) between Nashville & Memphis, so the surrounding areas may be experiencing the same.</p>
<p>You might check out the TDOT site for updates</p>

<p>good luck & be safe!</p>
<p>Looks like there is still some flooding in the immediate Nashville area</p>

<p>I would AVOID Nashville</p>
<p>Thanks ! I have been monitoring the TDOT site!</p>
<p>It says roads are open…but there may be flooding!</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s just best if you go through Knoxville. It shouldn’t be too out of the way.</p>
<p>Are you seeing that I-65 is flooded? I’m not seeing that. (I hope not, my H is driving down I-65 from Indiana today.)</p>
<p>I wasn’t real concerned until I saw parts of I-65 underwater on the weather channel last night. </p>
<p>I thought it would receed by the time I came through but apparently there is no where for the water to go?</p>
<p>I think I will go through Knoxville to be safe. Are there any problems in Northern Alabama?
Just asking because we drive across the Tennessee River that seems to just spread out…</p>
<p>Again (as always) Thanks for all the help!</p>
<p>Hey sorry to join the conversation late. I am in Nashville. At this point all major roads are open. I 65 South of Nashville is fine; looks like north of the city is fine too. The Cumberland River crested this morning and is starting to receed (Halleluia!) that’s what’s flooding LP Field, the Bridgestone Arena & Opryland. The only flooding I see on any major roads is on Briley Parkway, but you won’t be going on there. </p>
<p>I would definitely fill your tank at the KY/TN state line; I heard a few gas stations were out. </p>
<p>The Harpeth River receded dramatically last night so you should be fine. I-40 & I-24 were the highways that got hit hardest but they were almost 100% last night.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>There’s not a lot of traffic anyway since all school districts (EXCEPT MINE!!!) are out due to flooding.</p>
<p>I think the pics of I-65 that were on the Weather Channel were from Sunday; they had some issues at I-65 & 440 but those resolved. It’s been beautiful here yesterday & today so the water has had a chance to dry out in some places.</p>
<p>Thanks! For the Nashville update!!</p>
