According to the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency on Sunday, 17 inches of rain fell within a six-hour period on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Flood water devastated Dickson, Hickman, Humphreys and Houston counties. More than 10,000 residents have been left without power and many without clean water.<\/p>\n<p>The Waverly Mayor Buddy Frazier said residents were caught totally off guard by how quickly the event progressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was something like the quickness of a tornado I guess. Some of them described it as a tidal wave,\u201d he explained. \u201cWhen this creek crested, of course, we received 18 inches of rainfall just east of Waverly. So all that flood water impacted us and a very violent surge and without warning.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you to our partners at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RedCrossTN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RedCrossTN<\/a> for their continued support during the flooding response.<\/p>\n<p>You can let loved ones know you are safe by registering at <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yLZidfLUsB\">https:\/\/t.co\/yLZidfLUsB<\/a> and choosing &#8220;Middle Tennessee Flooding.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yf5aWknqAc\">https:\/\/t.co\/Yf5aWknqAc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 T_E_M_A (@T_E_M_A) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/T_E_M_A\/status\/1429492831605903365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Emergency Management Agency activated its Emergency Operations Center and brought in the Tennessee National Guard to assist in search and rescue operations.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/top-u-s-officials-weigh-in-on-afghanistan-evacuation-threats-in-wake-of-taliban-takeover\/\">Top U.S. Officials Weigh In On Afghanistan Evacuation, Threats In Wake Of Taliban Takeover<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mobile home and a truck trailer sit near a creek after they were washed away by flood waters the day before in McEwen, Tenn.
