The flood resulted in businesses closing down, houses floating alongside rivers and many left devastated by Mother Natures’ impact on that fateful day of May 1, 2010.
Tennessee saw the most deaths in 2021 from flooding in the state since records began being kept for flooding deaths in 1996. In 2021, the catastrophic flood in Waverly claimed the lives of 20 people and damaged up to 509 homes.
