Funny that Nashville did not make the list...

@NinedenLtD: the state capitol of Tennessee is at 565 ft. Probably Nashville has some points below 400 ft at the banks of the Cumberland River, but I suppose nobody thought of putting the capitol there, lest it got actually flooded...

I think the point that @NinedenLtD was making is in regards to the reality that Nashville had some of the worst stateside flooding in 2010, so its exclusion from this list, while geographically accurate, is ironic.
