22 people were killed in Saturday’s flooding in Waverly
The weekend flash flood in middle Tennessee has upended lives and livelihoods.
About 17 inches of rain fell Saturday near Waverly, Tennessee. The heavy rain led to quick rises in a nearby creek. The floodwaters inundated homes and businesses, sweeping some of them off their foundations.
Twenty-two people were killed, and four are still missing as of Tuesday afternoon.
Emergency officials said hundreds of buildings in the area will likely be uninhabitable.
