<p>Flooding hits Tennessee: Roads shut down, cars nearly submerged</p>

<p>Flash flood warnings were in effect across Tennessee on Wednesday, Aug. 13, after floodwaters trapped cars near Chattanooga, according to officials.</p>

<p>Videos from Tuesday, Aug. 12, posted online show cars wading through a deluge on an interstate near Chattanooga. The waters were so deep that some cars were almost completely submerged, and only their roofs were visible through the brown, murky waters.</p>

<p>The floodwaters shut down Interstate 24 until around 10 p.m. ET, Rae Anne Bradley, the regional communications officer for the Tennessee Department of Transportation in Chattanooga and the Cumberland Plateau, stated in a post on X. When water had receded, the interstate lanes traveling east were reopened.</p>

<p>Then early Aug. 13 westward lanes reopened after crews cleared disabled vehicles remaining on the interstate.</p>

<p>In Nashville, rain also delayed the reopening of I-40 near the Nashville International Airport, which originally closed for milling and paving work, according to Erin Zeigler, the regional communications officer for Middle Tennessee.</p>
