Flash flooding swept across parts of Memphis metropolitan area and the Mid-South on Tuesday 4 February 2014. Up to 4 inches (10 cm) of rain fell in just a few hours in some areas. Many schools and colleges in the area have been closed, as have some churches and community centers.
The flooding has caused numerous problems for drivers. Some roads have been blocked by the flooding and high flood waters have caused some traffic accidents.
