There have been more than 300 damaging storm reports from Texas all the way to New Jersey with 18 reported tornadoes in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee.
Also, within the same storm system, almost 9 inches of rain fell in parts of Tennessee and produced deadly flash flooding.
Nashville got 7 inches of rain which was the most rain in a two day period since 2010 as well as the second wettest two day period in Nashville history.
