Heavy rain moved into Middle Tennessee on February 12, 2024. This was the fourth consecutive day of rain across the area, so grounds were already saturated. An estimated one to two inches of rain fell very quickly in the Cookeville and Algood areas in Putnam County which caused flooding in poor drainage and low-lying areas. Several roads in the area were rendered impassable.
