Memphis got more than a foot over that same period, and some areas along Interstate 40 to the northeast of the city were swamped with nearly 16 inches. Totals of eight to 11 inches were common from Central Arkansas through the boot heel of Missouri to the Ohio River Valley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As the storm moves east and southeast on Monday and Tuesday, it is expected to drop its heaviest remaining rain \u2014 as much as two inches is possible in some areas \u2014 in southeastern Alabama and central Georgia. It is also set to soak most of the East Coast, though not as much.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-39aaf19e\">The rain brought dangerous flooding.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Most of the storm\u2019s damage so far has been caused by floodwaters that overtopped riverbanks and levees, surged through streets and inundated the basements and ground floors of buildings. Many of the hardest-hit places were riverside cities and towns that have seen catastrophic flooding before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rivers continued to rise even after the worst of the storm had moved on. \u201cGiven the fact that everything is so saturated, everything is just running right off the ground and into area creeks and streams,\u201d Nate McGinnis, a Weather Service meteorologist in Wilmington, Ohio, said on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dozens of rivers from Arkansas to Indiana were flooding on Sunday, threatening bridges, levees, water and sewage systems, and other infrastructure. Some streams and rivers were not expected to crest for several more days. Stranded residents were rescued across the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The still-rising Kentucky River swamped the streets of Frankfort, Ky., the state capital, on Sunday, and residents were waiting anxiously for the nearby river to crest. The city\u2019s flood wall can withstand 51 feet, but the Weather Service predicted that the river would crest at 49.5 feet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Elsewhere in Kentucky, parts of Shelbyville and all of Falmouth were under mandatory evacuation orders. Some neighborhoods of Nashville were awash. Floodwaters in Mammoth Springs, Ark., washed out a railroad line on Saturday and derailed a freight train.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2b038698\">The storm has killed over a dozen people across five states.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At least 18 deaths had been attributed to the storm system as of Sunday evening. Nine of them were in Tennessee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two of the dead were young boys \u2014 a 5-year-old found in a house in Little Rock, Ark., and a 9-year-old <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/04\/us\/severe-storms-central-united-states.html\" title=\"\">swept away by floodwaters<\/a> in Frankfort as he walked to a school bus stop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A fire chief in Whitewater, Mo., was killed as he responded to tornado damage, and a 16-year-old firefighter on his way to help with a rescue effort <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/significant-severe-weather-flash-flooding-continue-impacting-south\/story?id=120519101#:~:text=In%20Missouri%2C%20a%2016%2Dyear,State%20Highway%20Patrol%20crash%20report.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">was killed<\/a> in a crash in Beaufort, Mo.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-470ec2fa\">Scores of tornadoes tore through the region.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The storm system has packed a violent punch, especially on Wednesday, when it spawned dozens of tornadoes from southern Arkansas to northern Indiana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There were so many reports of tornadoes that some Weather Service offices <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/03\/weather\/national-weather-service-staffing.html?smid=url-share\" title=\"\">delayed confirming them.<\/a> And in Nashville on Thursday, so many tornado warnings and alerts were issued that some of the city\u2019s warning sirens <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/03\/weather\/tornado-sirens-nashville.html?smid=url-share\" title=\"\">exhausted their batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Goreville, Ill., a tornado just barely missed Kassandra Beasley\u2019s house on Wednesday night. One had passed just 100 feet from her house, she said, but it wasn\u2019t until the next day that realized just how close she had come to having a brush with disaster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI got home that night,\u201d she recalled, \u201cand you could see it took out both houses next to us \u2014 everything \u2014 it was that close.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tornadoes also touched down over the weekend elsewhere. One hit near Barton, Ala., late Saturday, and another, in Jasper County, Miss., killed one person.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The storm system has featured strong gusty winds, even in areas where no tornadoes formed. It knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of customers, though service was restored in most areas by the weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The pace of tornado formation eased after Wednesday, but more tornadoes are possible in the coming days as the storm moves east, especially in parts of southeastern Georgia, northern Florida and southern South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p
