Jan 21, 1999
In Jackson County, sheriff's deputies used a johnboat to help evacuate a family whose house became surrounded by water. In Williamson County, several roads were closed by high water, including Old Route 13 near Route 148. About a dozen cars were stranded in flood water in the Marion area and had to be pulled out. Many of them ignored barricades set up to divert traffic from flooded areas.
