Heavy rain continued to fall across Tennessee throughout Saturday, increasing the risk of flooding. Residents of Dyersburg, a small town in the northwest of the state, received a third tornado warning in the afternoon.
Dozens of people arrived at a storm shelter near a public school, some soaking wet from the rain, with blankets, pillows and folding chairs.
Denise Morgan said she got the warning while watching the news. "There have been so many tornadoes recently. It’s scary, the devastation[…]. So I had to pick up my mum and my two sisters to come here."
