Severe weather across the South and Ohio Valley last weekend triggered a “generational” event, killing at least 18 people—including 10 deaths in Tennessee alone.
Storms knocked out power to over 70,790, downed trees along I-40, and prompted emergency declarations amid ongoing threats from swollen rivers and saturated ground.
The tornado threat has passed, but flooding remains severe after 14 inches of rain in parts of Clarksville and Hopkinsville, with dozens of road closures reported in several West Tennessee counties.
