Nashville continues to experience road closures and is currently under a flash flood watch in the wake of severe weather yesterday that resulted in 5 deaths. The storm system that moved through the Nashville area yesterday produced 6 - 12 inches of rain in less than 12 hours. The storm is expected to move out of the area by afternoon, but the dangers from flooding are expected to continue and residents are being urged to use caution, stay home, and avoid travel.

“This is one of the most severe rain events Nashville has ever experienced.” said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean.
