10 Dead, Dozens Missing in Tennessee Flooding (Photos)

Ten people died, and more than 40 were missing as devastating flooding hit parts of Tennessee on Saturday.

Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis told NBC that two of the dead appeared to be twin toddlers who have been swept away from their father, affirming that their bodies have been recovered.

Moreover, Davis told the station that no one should travel unless absolutely necessary, and an 8 p.m. curfew was in effect from Saturday. The county about 70 miles west of Nashville was also under a flash-flood warning.

Accordingly, the Tennessee National Guard was activated to assist with water rescues.

"Soldiers and Airmen from the Tennessee National Guardsmen are supporting state, county, and local emergency responders assist the citizens of Humphreys County that have been impacted by the flash flooding on Aug. 21," the guard tweeted.

The Humphreys County Sheriff's Office confirmed vehicles and buildings were damaged, as shown on social media.

In addition, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency said in a statement: "Heavy rainfall has caused dangerous flooding in Middle Tennessee. ... The flooding situation in these counties is dangerous and evolving."

The National Weather Service warned residents that up to three more inches of rain were expected in other counties in the area: "Please do not go out tonight if you do not have to. Flooding is especially dangerous at night.”
