At least four dead and 130 rescued during Nashville's 'worst flooding event' in a decade

• At least four people died in the worst flooding Tennessee has seen in over a decade over the weekend.
• The record flash flooding forced at least 130 residents to be rescued by boat.
• According to the National Weather Service, the area is still under a flash flood warning as of Sunday.

At least four people have died and 130 have been rescued over the weekend during Nashville's "worst flooding event" in over a decade, reported the Tennessean.

Over seven inches of rain fell Friday and Saturday, causing countless residents to become trapped in cars and homes in the Nashville area after water spilled out of creek banks.

Metro Nashville police found a man dead in his submerged car during a search and rescue on Sunday. Another person was found dead in a flooded golf course.

"It is believed that he was swept away by high water after getting out of a car that ran off the road," tweeted the Metro Nashville Police.

Two more people were found dead near a homeless encampment later on Sunday, reported the authorities.

Weather experts say the area hasn't seen flooding this severe since the 2010 flood, which killed 21 people in Tennessee and caused $2.3 billion in property damages.

"It's the worst flooding event we've seen since the May 2010 flood," National Weather Service meteorologist Sam Shamburger told the Tennessean. "But the main difference is this event affected a much smaller area than the 2010 flood."

The area remains under a flash flood warning as of Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
