NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee officials have confirmed another flood death from Memphis, bringing the state’s death toll from last weekend’s storms to 20. The national toll is 30 people.
Police found a body on Wednesday but have not released that person’s identity. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency confirmed the death.
Memphis police had been looking for 32-year-old Terrance Williams, who went missing after his car ran into flood waters Saturday. He called a friend saying he had to abandon the vehicle and hasn’t been heard from since.
Flash floods were blamed in the deaths of at least 19 people in Tennessee, including nine in Nashville. An additional 10 deaths from the weekend storms were reported in Kentucky and Mississippi, and one person was killed over the weekend by a tornado in Tennessee.
