Floods in Tennessee and North Carolina have left at least 20 people dead and many more are missing.

TENNESSEE - NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - At least 20 people have died and dozens more have been missing since record rains caused flooding in parts of rural Tennessee and North Carolina on Sunday.

17 inches of rain fell in less than 24 hours in McEven, Tennessee, 60 miles west of Nashville. Almost 15 inches of rain fell in Waverley, Humphries County.

After the water level in their Waverley home reached six feet, Cindy and Jimmy Dunn took refuge in the attic. Hours later, they were rescued when a bulldozer crew brought a bucket to their window.

Cindy Dunn, 48, said her husband (watching TV) one minute and the next we didn't have a garage.

According to Chrissy Hurley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, the region received "about 20 to 25% of the region's annual precipitation on a Saturday morning." Humphreys County residents were stranded in their homes with water up to their necks, Hurley said.

Several people died and hundreds went missing in "catastrophic" flooding in Tennessee and North Carolina. Kansas Klein, a business owner in Waverley, North Carolina, watched from a bridge Saturday morning at homes and cars blown away. Two girls, hugging a puppy and clinging to a plank of wood, rushed past Klein and other onlookers who couldn't save them.

The flooding stopped after a few hours, Klein said, but the damage was significant.

Klein said: "It was wonderful how quickly he appeared and how quickly he disappeared." “I think how horrible it was to lose the restaurant. Then I turn a corner and find that someone's child is dead. Right now, my restaurant doesn't mean anything. "

"I have never seen anything more terrible," said a witness. At least two people have died and 17 are missing in North Carolina County, flooded by Hurricane Fred.

In Humphreys County alone, about 40 people are missing. Houston, Humphries, Dixon and Hickman counties received 8 to 15 inches of rain, according to the National Weather Service.

After two bodies were found in Haywood County, North Carolina on Saturday, the death toll from flooding caused by Tropical Storm Fred last week rose to four. Authorities said heavy equipment crews were heading towards the area to pick up trash.

Sheriff Greg Christopher commented, "We have houses that are completely damaged and are out of the basement." “The mobile homes and mobile home parks that have been relocated, which I would call completely destroyed. "
