Proud Nashville residents including Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban are among thousands dealing with the disaster of floods to hit their city.

Kenny Chesney shared a picture near his home and tweeted:

“Sending Anderson Cooper footage of my house under water. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!”

Michelle Branch is also badly affected by the flooding. She tweeted:

‘What is left of my indie album Broken Bracelet is all submerged under water along with my vintage pink sparkle Wurlitzer.’

Keith Urban told CNN:

‘I’ve probably lost all my road equipment, and all my guitars, and amp and everything.’

The floods have taken out Soundcheck Nashville, a storage rental hub, where an estimated 1,000 musicians and business owners house their gear.

Brad Paisley’s stuff is waterlogged.

“On the positive side, everyone is safe,” he tweeted. “On the negative … I think all my road guitar gear, amps, effects, are under 3 ft of river.”

The storage facility is full of classroom-sized “lockers” used to store gear.

Friends say Vince Gill may have lost most of his entire guitar collection, including irreplaceable vintage pieces with historic value. A tractor-trailer full of LeAnn Rimes’ road gear is also probably under 3½ to 8 feet of water.
