Some of the heaviest rainfall in Nashville’s history caused flooding that killed at least four people over the weekend.
Authorities identified three of the four victims as men in their 60s and 70s who drowned after driving as floodwaters ravaged the area.
One of them was swept away by floodwaters when he got out of his car.
More than 100 people had to be rescued from fast-rising waters that flooded communities and damaged homes and businesses, the Nashville Fire Department said in an update Sunday night.
A resident from one apartment building in Antioch, south of Nashville, told CNN affiliate WZTV that she woke up to a mudslide compromising the building.
