and Middle Tennessee. A 1000+ year rainfall event. The storm crossed the Mississippi River, north of Memphis,
and swept northeast through Nashville. Many areas received from 13 to 18 inches of rain in less than a
48 hour period. According to NOAA Atlas 14, the 1000 year 48 hour rainfall
event in Middle Tennessee is 11.7 inches. Streams and major rivers responded with flood elevations
ranging from less than a 50 year event to 4 ft above the expected 500 year event.

flood damaged bridges was created.
Five categories of damage were tracked.
Bridges could have multiple types of damage.
If the bridge required closure, that was also noted.
