The Weather Channel reported more on the flooding in Chattanooga:
The death toll has increased to four following Tuesday’s historic flooding in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
A mother, father and child died when saturated ground caused a large tree to fall in the Chattanooga suburb of East Ridge just after midnight, Hamilton County Office of Emergency Management spokesperson Amy Maxwell said.
Later Wednesday, people who were searching for a missing man located his body after he was swept away by floodwaters, according to the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The flooding prompted rescues of people stuck in homes and swamped vehicles on Tuesday, and Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp declared a local state of emergency Tuesday night. Residents were urged to exercise extreme caution.
Chattanooga Fire crews rescued people trapped in vehicles and residents stuck in their homes, fire department officials said. Flooding closed parts of Interstate 24 in the area, but it reopened once floodwaters receded.
Swiftwater rescue teams saved residents of three East Ridge homes trapped by rising floodwaters, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Austin Garrett said the flooding was more extensive than he had seen before, noting that it is usually concentrated in one area, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reported.
“This is extremely widespread. It made it difficult for us to even get here ourselves to try to help other people,” he said. “So no, I’ve never seen it to this extent, this widespread in so many areas and impacting travel the way it is.”

NBC News reported more on the floods:
Chattanooga Airport recorded 6.42 inches of rain on Tuesday, the second wettest day in the city’s history since records began in 1879, the National Weather Service Office in Morristown said.
Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp declared a local state of emergency due to the flash flooding.
Muddy brown floodwaters turned highways into rivers. One video showed a big rig driving through Interstate 24 with water levels reaching the trailer. Video footage also showed cars swirling in floods with water reaching up to the windows.
Road closures Tuesday included I-24 and I-24. The waters receded Wednesday morning, and as of 12:30 a.m. local time, the I-24 was clear and open in both directions.
