WAVERLY, Tenn.—Crews with chainsaws and heavy equipment cleared their way through trees densely matted with vegetation, garbage, and debris from homes Tuesday as searchers scoured a normally shallow creek for more flooding victims in rural Tennessee.
Even cars and sheds were woven into the tangle of debris lining Trace Creek in Humphreys County, where the town of Waverly saw the most death and destruction from Saturday’s flooding that killed more than 20 people.
