Devastation in rural Tennessee and North Carolina. At least 21 people were dead and dozens more remained missing Sunday after record-shattering downpours triggered flooding across parts of the rural Southeast. Authorities fear the death toll could rise. Between 25 and 30 people were missing missing in Tennessee's Humphreys County alone, Sheriff Chris Davis said. Parts of Tennessee saw as much as 17 inches of rain fall in less than 24 hours, breaking the state record for one-day rainfall by more than 3 inches, the National Weather Service said. In Haywood County, North Carolina, the death toll rose to four from flooding wrought by Tropical Storm Fred last week after two bodies were recovered Saturday. 📸: Mark Humphrey, @apnews
