Chattanooga Flooded by Continuing Storms
- Share via
Strong storms continuing to surge across the South dumped more than 5 inches of rain in Chattanooga, causing flash floods and at least one death in a car accident.
A day after tornados destroyed homes in Arkansas and Alabama and left three dead in Missouri, rain also swamped a water treatment plant in Waynesboro, Tenn. Officials said residents were not affected, but water from other sources was being delivered to hospitals and nursing homes.
At Tennessee State University in downtown Nashville, rain caused a 30-foot section of portico over the entrance of a building to collapse. No one was injured.
