Worries about much of the Opry's vast archives and one of a kind pieces being lost to the flood of May 1-2, 2010 are being put to rest as The Grand Ole Opry works to preserve and even restore items impacted by the flood, including the Opry stage itself.

Kenny Chesney appeared via telephone last night on CNN and not only did he share with them video of his own property completely destroyed but he took national networks like CNN to task for their lack of coverage.  CNN will be in Nashville today to cover the story.

In today's news round-up we give updates on the Nashville-area floods and some other country music news.  Included in the flood update is info about Keith Urban, Big Kenny, Jo Dee Messina and Julie Roberts.  There is CMA Fest information as well.

We thought we'd share with the Roughstock fans news that the offices of Roughstock have survived the Great Nashville Flood of 2010.  Thankfully we survived unscathed but thought we'd share with y'all some video and pictures of country specific areas.
