On March 28, 2021, torrential rains across Tennessee flooded homes and at least one church. A portion of Interstate 40 was temporarily shut down due to high water and first responders also told drivers to avoid part of I-24 south of Nashville.

Over 34 swift water rescues were carried out and as many as 18 homes in one neighborhood had to be evacuated. Three men and one woman have been found dead.

While there was no longer any precipitation falling, flooding remained a threat as authorities expect rivers to continue to rise.
