Some of you other veteran SAS folks will remember the SUGI conferences held in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel and resort complex in 1990 and 1998 - I attended both. The extent of the recent flooding in the Nashville area was brought home to me when I learned that portions of the hotel were under as much as 10 feet of water. All guests had to be evacuated, and the complex will be closed indefinitely.

There's a longer story in the Tennesseean: http://www.tennessean.com/article/20100504/BUSINESS01/5040350/0/news01
