They'll be honored as a part of the Ryman Auditorium's 125th anniversary celebration. So will Tom Ryman, the riverboat captain who built the venue (which was originally a church), and Lula C. Naff, who was the auditorium's theater manager for more than 40 years.

Little Big Town is the first act to do a residency at the fabled venue.

The induction ceremony is free and will be open to the public.

Chris owns a house where the storm first hit and has family and friends who live in the area. He doesn't know what kind of damage his house has sustained, but he's way more worried about the people in danger. Fortunately, all of his friends and family are safe.

He set up a GoFundMe campaign that has already raised over $300,000.

Funds are still needed to shelter and feed the rescued animals. You can donate to MuttNation Foundation on its website.
