Everyone should know the dangers of where they live – whether you’re in tornado territory or looking to be invaded with mosquitoes come the swampy heat of summer, it’s a necessary bank of knowledge. We searched high and low for Music City and came up with seven OH so serious threats to your life. (Not.)

  1. The sudden infusion of Nashville transplants.

Adam Awad - Flickr We all may end up homeless if the transplants keep on comin.’ Don’t get us wrong - we love new people. But if the rising rent doesn’t kill us, the price to buy a house just might!

  1. Drivers on the roads. Period.

Cj Sorg - Flickr If people would learn how to use a turn signal/their blinker/ highways then we should be all good on this front. But until then…?

  1. Watch for the tourists on Broadway..

Thomas Hawk - Flickr They may be trying to hit up every honktonk in this town, and it makes them a bit happy…

  1. Or the humidity itself

Tim Lumley - Flickr Do we need to explain this one…?

  1. The sudden change in the weather

NASA - Flickr From sunny to rainy to OH MY GOSH IT’S A TORNADO WARNING in an hour. Thanks a lot, Tennessee.

  1. The snakes in the river

Douglas Mills - Flickr Okay, the fear of the cottonmouth is REAL. Watch your footing (swimming?) in the Harpeth and Cumberland. It can get REAL slippery up in there.

  1. The heat from our hot chicken

Hattie B’s Hot Chicken - Facebook It was born here in Music City, and can get pretty dang hot. You’ll most likely find it served on a sliding scale, from super hot to not, so be careful - your life depends on it.

Let’s lighten things up a bit (even more?) with The Place In Nashville That Makes You Feel Like You’ve Stepped Through A Magical Wardrobe!
