Devastating floods in the southern US
state of Tennessee have left at least 21 people dead and dozens missing,
local officials said Sunday in what they warned was a preliminary toll.
Tennessee was hit Saturday by what meteorologists called historic storms
and flooding, dumping 15 inches (38 centimeters) or more of rain.
Rural roads, state highways and bridges were washed out and widespread
power outages affected thousands of people.
Twenty people died in the town of Waverly, in Humphreys County, Police
Chief Grant Gillespie said in a news conference covered by NewsChannel 5
Nashville.
Humphreys County is about a 90-minute drive west of Nashville, the country
music center.বিস্তারিত
