Storm in the USA: Dead in floods in Tennessee

In the US state of Tennessee, floods have torn away cars and houses. According to the authorities, there were at least ten dead. The first foothills of Hurricane “Henri” reached the country on the east coast.

According to the authorities, at least ten people were killed in floods in the center of the US state of Tennessee. More than 30 people have been reported missing, said Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis. Among the dead were two small children who were torn away from their father, Davis told WSMV-TV.

Restaurant owner Kansas Klein watched from a bridge in Waverly as cars and entire houses were washed down a street. In his restaurant, the flood had risen to 2.10 meters. As a result, it can no longer be saved.

Hurricane “Henri” will soon hit the coast

Meanwhile, residents in the northeast of the USA are preparing for Hurricane “Henri”. The first rains of the storm reached New York and other states. In the metropolis of New York City, due to a severe thunderstorm, a major concert with dozens of stars had to be canceled to mark the hoped-for end of the corona pandemic in Central Park.

The meteorologists at the US hurricane center NHC expected that “Henri” would hit the coast at noon (local time), but would more likely hit Long Island in the east of the metropolis and the states in the northeast such as Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts in particular.
