Cause & Effect Paragraph
Millions of dollars in damage to Nashville, Tennessee is the result of heavy rains and the overflowing Cumberland River. As the days pass the water will recede, leaving in its path washed out roadways, ruined homes, destroyed businesses and broken lives. The impact of this devastation is grueling and reaches at least 52 Tennessee counties.
