All of about 1, 500 guests were evacuated overnight from the Opryland Hotel, northeast of the downtown area. Monday morning brought sunshine and a view of flooded parking lots around the hotel and adjacent venues. Water surrounded the Grand Ole Opry House and the Opry Mills shopping mall.
The show was moved to the location after 4 to 6 feet of water from weekend storms flooded the Grand Ole Opry House east of downtown. The Opry was performed in the War Memorial Auditorium from 1939-1943.
