Speaking of volunteers - many early rallying cries went out to support the victims of the storm including "Nashville Strong" and a variety of Memes declaring "You're about to see why Tennessee is called the Volunteer State". Sure enough, only a few days after the disaster blew through a lot of heavy lifting and clean-up was well underway by heroic volunteers underscoring a unique community spirit that exists among the local population. Outside assistance also arrived and we observed a small army of orange clad helpers organized by the North Carolina based Samaritan's Purse. Under the leadership of Franklin Graham - son of the famed evangelist - this group was hard at work in the area of the Donelson Christian Academy that was inexplicably wiped off the map in a matter of mere seconds.

The terrible unrelenting twisters - including one with a track that lasted for more than 50 miles - impacted Davidson, Wilson and Putnam the hardest. Locales such as North Nashville, the recently resurrected Germantown, the always hip East Nashville and Mt. Juliet - the hometown of country music legend Charlie Daniels - took the brunt of the pain dished out by the worrisome weather. But, the President's visit did provide some comfort.

"People across Tennessee have suffered a great loss, it's been a painful tragic week for our state but Tennesseans are hopeful," Gov. Bill Lee said. "God has used volunteers to bring hope to people all across our state and your presence here reminds us that people all across the country care about what's happening here so we're grateful."
