Seven people have been killed due to some of the worst flooding the mid-South has seen in decades. They have recieved up to 20 inches of rain in some parts of the states and more is expected to come Sunday evening. With all the rain it has washed out major roads, forced evacuations and promted dam failures. In just Nashville more than 600 people were rescued from the water they recieved this weekend. The mayor of Nashville said that all of the major creeks are at about flood level and that there is nowhere for the water to go. The mayor also said that more rain has fallen in the last 24 hours that has ever been recorded. Flooding with spread into Kentucky as well.
I actually had no idea of all this rain in Tennessee until i read this article. It's really unfortunate the amount they're getting there. Rain is nice but too much of it can be disasterous, even cause deaths which is very sad. Mother nature is a powerful force. It seems like where I live we always need rain and when we do finally get it, it's not enough to be worth it or it's too much. And thats what people in Tennessee are thinking, how they are getting too much rain. Hopefully the rain stops soon and that there arn't anymore deaths.
