The historic Nashville flooding has put many in dire straits. As happens in every disaster, good people rise to the challenge of helping each other and true community forms around real needs. Here's a great example of proactive caring:

Vinny Ribas is mobilizing Indie Connect's online community to try and connect needs with help. Email sent by Vinny this morning to members of Indie Connect:

If anyone on this site needs help as a result of the flooding, please post what you need in the forum under the Nashville Support category. For example, you might have lost some musical equipment, or something personal like a bed. Let's all rally to help each other. After all, that what communities do! Watch your email for the status of upcoming Indie Connect meetings.

May we all watch out for each other. May we recognize where we can help. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. I'll be watching my comments and my email. As for me... we only sustained some minor basement flooding, which is already under control. The roads around my office are soaked but seem quite driveable. I'd like to thank everyone around the country who have had us in your thoughts and prayers... the sun is shining and it looks to be a beautiful day to begin cleaning up!

Remember to be sure and check road conditions before venturing out anywhere in the Nashville and surrounding areas. God bless you and keep you safe.
