According to US media reports, the central state of Tennessee in the United States recently suffered record rainfall and flash floods, which have caused at least 22 deaths and dozens of missing.

According to reports, there was also a pair of 7-month-old twins among the victims. During the flash flood, the twins were swept away from their father’s arms.

“We are working very hard to find missing persons,” Edwards said. “We are conducting door-to-door inspections in the worst-hit areas of the county.”

Humphreys County is located along the Tennessee River, about 90 minutes west of Nashville.

According to data from the National Weather Service, rainfall in individual areas of Tennessee exceeded 431.8 mm on the 21st.

“Our entire area is out of power.” Edwards added, “The loss of full signal coverage by major operators is a complex issue. They are introducing portable devices to assist communications. We have lost many rural and major highways. This is my worst experience in 28 years.”

The Tennessee Department of Emergency Management warned people to avoid traveling in Humphreys, Houston, Dixon, and Hickman counties.

The local Red Cross stated that it has opened emergency asylums in the YMCA in Dixon County, Fairfield Christian Church in Centerville, Waverly Christian Church in Waverley and Waverly First Baptist Church. So.
