Kind of amazing. Two weeks ago, Middle Tennessee got a ton of rain. I've heard reports between 7" and 10" overnight, which beats some of the reports from a single day back in 2010 when we had the flood in Downtown Nashville. But the water levels are still WAY up. one photo is my neighbors backyard from a small spring fed lake/pond near our subdivision. I've never seen the water from this lake this high in 20 years.

I didn't get too far out of town checking ramps, but checked several within 30 minutes of the house. All of the sites are underwater enough that if you launched (which some did) you would launch from the parking lot ... and in some cases way UP in the parking lot. This is the road that leads in to the marina I usually launch at. They're using a rental 'toon to ferry people who live on the houseboats in and out.

You can see all of the debris that washed down river. I'll be the lake is just scattered with stuff to bang the outdrive on!

Saw a pic of a marina on old hickory, apparently the docks are fixed and the roof was under water

Lake level was low enough to launch. But still not normal. You can see in the parking lot how the water level was situated:
