The Cumberland River floods in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, causing a disaster known as The Christmas Day Flood. Up to 10,000 people will be made
homeless as the water rises, often up to roof level, over the new two weeks. The total damage will amount to $5m, with many homes flooded and some downtown businesses collapsing from the water damage. In 1927, Bessie Smith will record the song Back-Water Blues about the effects of this Nashville flood for Columbia Records.
