At least 10 people have been confirmed killed and dozens missing after central Tennessee was hit with massive floods. Record rainfall over the weekend caused heavy flooding in Tennessee, destroying houses and infrastructures and leaving thousands homeless.

According to the Humphreys County Sheriff’s Office, at least 10 people have been reported dead and around 40 people are missing. Humphreys County Chief Deputy Rob Edwards said they are still attempting to locate those who are missing and visiting each house that was hit with the floods.

Edwards said power outages and loss of cell phone coverage from major carriers are occurring all over the county. He said officials are now bringing in portable units to temporarily restore communications.

The National Weather Service said about 17.02 inches of rain fell on McEwen, Tennessee on Saturday. This broke the all-time 24 hours rainfall record of 13.06 inches for the state of Tennessee recorded in 1982.

The Hardin County Fire Department described the destruction in Humphreys County as “unbelievable.” The department said it has sent personnel to assist in the search and rescue efforts.

Authorities have warned people to avoid traveling to Humphreys, Hickman, Houston, and Dickson as most of the roads are still underwater. Some parts of the aforementioned counties are under six to seven feet of water. Four shelters have been set up and a school in McEwen has been used as a facility to reunite families.
