Mat Kearney checked in with his Twitter followers (@matkearney) with news about his Nashville home in wake of the area’s flooding over the weekend. The singer songwriter tells readers:
My house has 3 feet of water in the basement. Separating wet pictures. Nashville is a mess.
Nothing says love like pumping your neighbors basement juice.
Thank you for all the kind Tweets. Getting by just fine with the help of some great friends. Lend a hand to one if you can.
