Sumner County hit hard by overnight flooding

SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. — The severe storms caused primarily flooding in Sumner County and area creeks and rivers quickly overflowed their banks.

EMA first responders performed more than thirty water rescues overnight. They also report dozens of homes and buildings suffered water damage.

A bridge in Bethpage was seriously damaged.

Homeowner Michael Gustafson spent the day repairing a portion of his driveway that washed away.

"This flooding is about as bad as I've seen it in the past ten years," Gustafson said.

But he like many others was relieved to see the high water quickly recede several hours later.

Now the clean-up effort is underway.

Eight brand new Corvettes were stolen from GM's Bowling Green plant. How good neighbors spoiled the heist

The line ''see something, say something" took on new meaning recently in Bowling Green. Two alert neighbors helped tip police to stolen Corvettes from the nearby assembly plant. That led law enforcement to find 8 stolen Corvettes worth over $1 million. We may all be able to learn a little lesson from this.
