Sumner County hit hard by overnight flooding

SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. — The severe storms caused primarily flooding in Sumner County and area creeks and rivers quickly overflowed their banks.

EMA first responders performed more than thirty water rescues overnight. They also report dozens of homes and buildings suffered water damage.

A bridge in Bethpage was seriously damaged.

Homeowner Michael Gustafson spent the day repairing a portion of his driveway that washed away.

"This flooding is about as bad as I've seen it in the past ten years," Gustafson said.

But he like many others was relieved to see the high water quickly recede several hours later.

Now the clean-up effort is underway.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
