After deadly floods in Tennessee, search-and-rescue teams were frantically picked through the saturated ruins of dozens of homes Monday, holding out hope that missing loved ones would be found alive. In some parts of Middle Tennessee, the amount of rain that fell was up to four times the 4-6 inches that was forecast. Krissy Hurley, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Nashville, said the storms kept redeveloping as they moved and went over the same areas repeatedly, resulting in upwards of 3 to 4 inches of rain per hour. At least 21 people were killed when walls of water powered by up to 17 inches of rain roared through rural Humphreys County, home to about 20,000 people 70 miles west of Nashville. Dozens of people were still missing Monday. 📸: John Amis, @apnews; Andrew Nelles, @tennesseannews
