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.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
