Extensive flooding encompassed much of the Tennessee Valley from mid-late February, specifically from February 20th through the 24th. Monthly rainfall totals across the area easily surpassed a foot of rainfall for the month, with many locations racking up totals approaching 15 for the month. Widespread flooding occurred on all tributaries and especially along the Tennessee River thanks to numerous round of rainfall that varied anywhere from 2-3 to 5-8 of rain at a time throughout the month. This flood rivaled both the floods of March 1973 (flood of record for many river sites) and May 2003, both of which caused major flooding damages across the area.
