FYI, you can keep track of the river level here:

https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=OHX&gage=nast1

The page also has information on previous crests as well as descriptions of what happens at certain depths and forecasts where applicable.

As you can see it is only predicted to reach 40.5 feet on Sunday given current forecasts and reservoir operations. The 2010 crest was 52.5 feet.

There are also forecasts available for the Harpeth River, Richland Creek, and Mill Creek if you live near these.

the grade rises dramatically towards rolling mill hill. Effective landscaping along the edge of the river to direct water flow toward rolling mill hill seems to be the cheapest method. 

Except the Cumberland flows east to west, so water passes Rolling Mill Hill before it passes downtown.

Rain like this really makes me uneasy. Seeing people joke about it on social media  bothers me big time.

And it just keeps coming. Hopefully, a cooler, drier pattern will arrive in the first week of March to give us a break. That's what I'm seeing in the forecast models.... crossing my fingers.

2018 was Knoxville's wettest year on record, and I think it was top 5 for Nashville. This rainy pattern has been unreal.

Charlotte has had the wettest fall and winter in 140 years no one alive today in this region has ever seen this.  It is an El Nino year.

It’s happening in the Atlanta area as well.

Has anyone ever considered putting a retractable roof over Davidson county to prevent flooding?

I was talking with someone about this on Wednesday.  The two of us have noticed that many storms split up and go around the Nashville bowl, or the rain lightens up a bit as it passes over the bowl.  I once watched a major storm front moving in from the north (quite rare) just split in two and go to the east and west of us.
