And although the Gulf oil spill is still the  lead story in the national media, about to decimate ecosystems and local  fishing industries across the Gulf, I just read an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.takepart.com\/news\/2010\/05\/06\/flood-waters-add-to-louisianans-concerns\">article<\/a> that suggested the  floodwaters in Tennessee could impact the Gulf fishing industry as well. Local  fishermen in Gulf communities are fearing that as the floodwaters from the  Cumberland River empty into the Mississippi River, the inherent rushing waters  will push a large portion of fish into the oil. So far, most of my writings  about this disaster, as well as the writings of others, has been about the effect that  this flood has had on the people of Tennessee including the loss of life, the destruction  of homes, businesses, and infrastructure. But what kind of effect will the  flood have on nature, ecosystems, wildlife, and the environment at large? Only  time will tell. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"mapintree.jpg\" alt=\"\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we will continue cleaning up, rebuilding,  and moving ahead. I urge you all to help continue spreading the news of this  disaster, as the minimal national media coverage we have received, will likely  fade in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to learn more about what is  happening here, there are a series of well written articles that can be found  at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/tag\/tennessee-flooding\">www.huffingtonpost.com\/tag\/tennessee-flooding<\/a>.
