Numerous roads across Clay and Jackson County are flooded according to emergency management officials.

“We are receiving multiple reports of flood roadways throughout the county,” Clay 911 posted on Facebook. “We ask that you stay home if at all possible. Do not attempt to pass any flooded roads.”
Jackson County officials reported not only flooding but trash and debris on roadways.
Several more hours of rain are predicted which will likely only increase the flooding issues across the Upper Cumberland. A flash flood warning is in effect for most of the region overnight.
The National Weather Service reported some of the heaviest rain Saturday morning in Clay and Pickett Counties where as much as three inches fell. 5.74 inches of rain fell Saturday in Nashville, making it the fourth wettest day ever.
