A 64-year-old woman died outside her home in Cocke County, Tennessee, after floodwater swept her downstream on Thursday. Members of the Cocke County Sheriff’s Office said the woman was near a vehicle when the current carried her away. Swift water teams recovered the victim, who was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Warnings were issued early Thursday for Cocke and Greene counties. The Tennessee Department of Transportation closed part of State Route 160 after water covered the roadway. The same weather system that produced rescues in Texas earlier in the week has moved east, placing more than 50 million people under a flash flood threat through Friday morning. J.
Ball stated that additional rain and thunderstorms are forecast for the county through Friday night.
