On Sunday, torrential rains across Tennessee flooded homes and at least one church and left roads impassable, forcing Nashville’s mayor to declare a state of emergency in the state’s capital. Nashville received more than seven inches of rain amid the incremental weather, the second-highest two-day rainfall total ever recorded, Mr Cooper said at a news conference on Sunday. “Rainfall will cause excess runoff and localised flash flooding in the watch area, including adding additional water level rises on already elevated area rivers and creeks,” they added.
