It could take weeks for flood waters to leave part of the Ohio Valley after ‘1,000-year’ rain, forecasters say

Areas around southern Tennessee, Ohio and Mississippi river basins could see continuous flooding threats for weeks following the past week’s “one-in-1,000-year” rain event, forecasters have warned.

While the rains have ended over areas affected by the flooding, moderate-to-major flooding could linger, according to the forecasting company AccuWeather.
