Rutherford County, Wilson County schools remain closed due to flooded roads

Rutherford County and Wilson County schools remain closed today due to impassable flooded roads.

According to Rutherford County's Online Road Closure Dashboard , more than 40 roads are closed.

The National Weather Service reported an EF 0 tornado touched down in the county with 80 miles per hour winds and traveled for about 3 miles Wednesday night.

Those are strong winds, but flooding was the even bigger problem here with all of the rain that came early yesterday morning.

The school district says even though schools are closed today, extracurricular activities can continue as scheduled and Eagleville School can still have its graduation tonight.

The district also says schools will reach out to let parents and students know the plan for scheduled A-P Testing.

Even though the weather is calmer now, don't try to cross flooded roads.

Carrie recommends:

Growing your family, no matter the journey to get there, is an emotional one. My heart aches for these families who trusted a Nashville fertility clinic with their dreams and finances. Hannah McDonald's relentlessness to find answers is journalism at its best and hopefully a new avenue of hope for the patients caught up in this mess.
