At least four people were killed, and swift-water rescue crews plucked more than 130 people from cars, apartments and homes as devastating storms hammered the South.
An overnight deluge pounded parts of Tennessee with 9 inches of rain. Nashville International Airport recorded 7 inches as of 5 a.m. Sunday. The 5.75 inches of rain Saturday were the most to fall in the city on a March day.
“The rainfall we got yesterday and overnight made this one of the wettest 24-hour periods in Nashville’s history,” National Weather Service meteorologist Sam Shamburger said.
