A severe thunderstorm caused flash flooding in Bordeaux, bringing back memories of the massive Nashville flood in 2010.
When Susie Majors awoke Thursday morning flood water was slowly making its way to her property on West Hamilton Rd. It's a scene she's lived through once before.
"It was just frightening to see it again this morning and it's been six years this year but nothing has been done to prevent the flooding out here in this area," Majors said.
In 2010, she lost all she had in the flood.
"It is always in the back of my mind when it rains hard. I get that fear that it's going to flood again," she explained.
On the July 15, she'll be 94-years-old. She and her husband built her home in 1969.
"I would love to spend the rest of my time here, not to be displaced and moved somewhere else," Majors said.
Her thoughts are shared by many of her neighbors. Shelia Jones' parents live down the road.
"They're 85 and 86. They shouldn't have to go through this again," Jones said.
District 1 lost it's councilperson in January and is now being represented by an at-large councilperson.
"The city has taken some steps but can the city do more? We need to be more proactive and need to make sure these things are done," neighboring Councilman DeCosta Hastings said.
However, he admits there aren't any projects currently in the works to prevent future flooding and said the city is waiting to see what the Federal government will allow.
However, for these residents waiting is no longer an option.
"It is the largest district in Davidson County and the most forgotten district in Davidson County. There's no attention drawn to this district," said Jones.
After the 2010 flood, residents were given the option to stay or leave with the help of federal assistance. Those who stayed were also encouraged to raise the foundation of their home.
However, Bordeaux is home to many elderly residents who just can't afford to do that. They city has bought dozens of acres of land that lines Whites Creek, part of that project includes a future gully.
