NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Another severe weather threat is forecasted for Wednesday night into Thursday morning and if you haven't you may want to prepare for potential flooding.
FEMA has some helpful tips to keep your home safe. They say that's very important because flood mitigation can help prevent your homeowner's insurance from going up.
Moving or raising heating and cooling systems, water heaters, electrical panels and other utilities to reduce risk of damage is your best bet. You should also consider using an attic, extra closet, or raised platform to elevate them.
FEMA suggest you have a safety plan ready to go and check the forecast before you go to bed to make sure you're ready for what could come.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
