[BirminghamExaminer]

Excerpt:

Today, according to the Office of the Press Secretary, President Obama "declared a major disaster exists in the State of Tennessee and ordered Federal aid to supplement State and local recovery efforts."

19 people have died in Tennessee since the storms and flooding began and the death toll is expected to rise as the waters of the flooded Cumberland River recede.

Some of Nashville's most historic landmarks have been affected by the flooding including the Opryland Hotel where hundreds of people had to be evacuated, the Ryman Auditorium (original home of the Grand Ol' Opry) and the Country Music Hall of Fame.
