(WTVF) â State and local leaders are calling for action against what they say is constant flooding, following the flash floods last month that killed seven Tennesseans. Tim Edwards says a nearby creek flooded his business, Edwards Feeds, last month, even higher than the 2010 flood. Edwards lost paperwork, and several tons of feed, even though he saw the nearby creek rising. He says there still wasn't enough time.
