You would have had to be dead or blind to miss the sunset that blanketed Nashville the evening of Wednesday, September 18. It has been raining most of the day, and the storm cleared just as the sun was going down, and the resulting visuals were pretty impressive in whatever direction you looked.

As the evening wore on, the social media lit up with photos from all over the city. The “event” was so widely covered that the next day the Tennsseean ran a post on their website with some of the photos they’d found.
