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.

TDot road conditions report that I-24 and I-40 are closed due to flooding and incidents. Residents who wish to get up to the minute status reports on local conditions can visit the tdot website....

A National Weather Service Civil Emergency Message broadcast Sunday morning warns residents of hazardous travel conditions and numerous road closures.

This storm system is responsible for turning local roads in to rivers, sweeping away vehicles and buildings. In one notable incident, a School building was lifted by flood waters and washed away only to become lodged and broken in to pieces.

Shelters for residents affected by the storm are being set up at Lipscomb University and other locations.
