The state of Tennessee was hit by severe flooding on Monday. Floods destroyed most of the roads and bridges in the state.
Floods in Tennessee have so far claimed 22 victims and 50 people are estimated to have been lost in this disaster. Among the fatalities were several victims of small children and twins who were only 7 months old. The number of victims is expected to continue to grow considering that there are still many areas that have not been reached by the local authorities.
“It is a devastating picture of loss and heartache”
At a press conference held in Nashville, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee said the disaster was “catastrophic”. Bill Lee described how houses were ripped from their foundations and cars were washed away around the Tennessee region due to the devastating floods.
“It is a devastating picture of loss and heartache”, continues Bill Lee.
