3 members of the Tennessee family were killed by a tree while the area was closed with clear floods

The authorities said that the mother, father and child were killed when a tree fell on her car during the heavy rains and floods in Tennessee, as the submerged roads also resulted in exciting rescue operations for people trapped in their cars.

Amy Maxwell, a spokeswoman for the emergency administration, said Amy Maxwell on Wednesday that the three were killed when the saturated land caused a large tree falling in the Catanoja suburb of East Ridge after midnight.

In addition, the authorities found the body of Wednesday while searching for a man invading him when he ran the firefighters and a barrier that prevented a road that was flooded on Tuesday, according to the Catanota Fire Department. The medical examinations and medical examinations will determine the cause of death.

The floods pushed to save people stuck in the sunken homes and vehicles.

At a press conference on Wednesday, officials said they did not expect a lot of rain and floods to hit quickly.

Catanoja Airport recorded about 16 centimeters of rain on Tuesday, which represents the second most prominent day of the city that dates back to 1879, according to the social media service by the National Weather Service in Morestown.

Fire Administration officials said the Catanoja firefighting crew saved people trapped in vehicles and residents stuck in their homes. Floods closed parts of the 24th highway in the area, but they were reopened as soon as the water declined.

Swift-Water rescue teams saved the residents of three East Ridge homes besieged due to the high flood water, according to the Hamilton Sharif Province Office.

At some point, Chris Adams, director of the Emergency Department in Hamilton Province, said at some point, there were 60 vehicles on the highway flooded. Adams added that some of the first respondents were carrying people on their backs who were unable to move well across water, and put them on the high highway.

“We all know” the rotation, do not drown, “said Adams.

Barbara Lovlos, director of operations in Hamilton 911, said there are many invitations to help that were 911 calls “hold every minute every hour for three hours in a row”, with more than 940 calls between 6 pm and midnight.

Dramatic rescue for the car driver

Troy Plimins, an EPB telecommunications system and the Catanota Electricity and Communications Office, said that he was stuck in traffic on the highway in a bucket truck for two to three hours on Tuesday evening.

Plimmons said he saw that the flood water was raising the four -wheel drive vehicle, and when he and two electric workers were encouraged in Lawson, she encouraged a woman at home to go out, threw her hands because she did not know if she could. PleMons moved to a truck bed next to him to try to approach, but the water was rising to her chest.

“I didn’t think there was any time,” he said. “I made my best.”

Plimims said that the water was reaching a woman’s neck level in SUVs when I used a boring part of Lawson Electric Command to break the window and help women go out.

“It was definitely a rush. I felt I was very calm until the window was broken,” said Plimins. “I was doing everything I could take out because the water was rising very quickly.”

Plimimins said that there are many rescue operations for people whose cars were flooded with water in the area until the water fell about two to three hours and the traffic began to move again.

“I felt that I was there at the right time,” he said. “I am grateful because I was there to help that lady.”

Lawson Electric said her workers, Austin Camp and Brandon Shadwick, have been assigned for hours with PleMons, as well as authorities to help move between 25 and 35 people.

“From children to the elderly, we continued to move. We did not talk to each other,” Shawik said in a press statement. “We have worked hard and quickly to move people to safety.”

Watch Anderson Stote from his truck.

“Once I get it out of that car, I don’t joked, perhaps in three minutes, her car was fully immersed under the water,” Strot said.
