Saturday’s flooding in rural areas took out roads, cellphone towers and telephone lines, leaving families uncertain about whether their loved ones survived the unprecedented deluge. Emergency workers were searching door to door, said Kristi Brown, a coordinator for health and safety supervisor with Humphreys County Schools.
The dead included twin toddlers who were swept from their father’s arms, according to surviving family members. The sheriff of the county of about 18,000 people some 60 miles west of Nashville said he lost one of his best friends.Up to 17 inches of rain fell in Humphreys County in less than 24 hours Saturday, appearing to shatter the Tennessee record for one-day rainfall by more than 3 inches , the National Weather Service said.
Shirley Foster cried as the governor walked up. She said she just learned a friend from her church was dead. The hardest-hit areas saw double the rain that area of Middle Tennessee had in the previous worst-case scenario for flooding, meteorologists said. Lines of storms moved over the area for hours, wringing out a record amount of moisture — a scenario scientists have warned may be more common because of global warming.

You sure it won’t be covid related?
Was this forecasted? Did people have time to evacuate?

This death & destruction happened last Tuesday in NC. It has only gotten some national news coverage today. ClimateEmergency
Do you think they want renewable energy now?
Why is it that we only ever see these death tolls after storms in the South? The Northeast is significantly more densely-populated and never has these kinds of death tolls after major storms. It's also literally flooding in NY, NJ, and CT right now.
Tennessee did not prepare its residents for flooding just like they did not prepare their residents for COVID and this is the result
I am so very sorry and saddened for the loss of life and destruction in Tennessee. All you republicans just remember you can’t stand socialism so don’t call 911, don’t ask for help from the federal government don’t ask police to protect you belongings. Those are all socialistic
That’s more tragedy for Tennessee. I pray that people are found alive & for those families who died. 🌹
President Biden has offered Tennessee federal assistance. I’m confused about this. Tennessee is a red state that didn’t vote for him. So why would he want to help them.
If only they'd have gotten vaccinated.
قال مسؤول في ولاية تينيسي إن 22 شخصًا لقوا حتفهم بسبب الفيضانات ، ولا يزال العشرات في عداد المفقودين بعد يوم من هطول الأمطار بمعدلات قياسية.
That’s so sad.

how does one typically die from flooding? (i know ultimately it’s drowning)
Is that because of hurricane?
And it’s just going to keep getting worse and worse.
This is terrible news 😢
