Locals said the record-breaking rainfall was the third ‘hundred year flood’ in a decade – but branded this ‘ten times worse’
At least ten people are dead and dozens are missing after catastrophic flooding in Middle Tennessee.
The McEwen and Waverly areas, in Humphreys County, were battered particularly hard by the flash flooding, with two of the victims being toddlers. After returning, Mr Klein said: ‘I’m looking at my restaurant, thinking how horrible it was that I lost my restaurant and then I walk around the corner and see someone’s baby dead — my restaurant doesn’t mean a whole lot right now.‘It was devastating: buildings were knocked down, half of them were destroyed.Low-income homes in block buildings known as Brookside in the city of about 4,500 people appeared to have taken the brunt of the flooding, Mr Klein added.
Locals have been devastated by the flooding, saying they have seen three ‘once in a hundred year floods’ in a decade Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis told news outlets more than 30 people had been reported missing but it was not immediately clear how many had lived at Brookside. Two of the bodies recovered were toddlers who had been swept away from their father, Mr Davis told WSMV-TV.
