NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Deluged Tennessee saw more rain early today a day after flooding swept away a home, trapped drivers in their vehicles and derailed a train.

And forecasters were expecting more heavy showers to fall over the Southeast.

The downpours that began Wednesday hit some of the same parts of Middle Tennessee that were inundated with severe flooding in May, but forecasters don't foresee it wreaking the same kind of havoc. Portions of Middle and East Tennessee as well as areas of southern Kentucky and western North Carolina and Virginia have been under flash flood warnings or watches.

A round of heavy rain set off fresh flash flooding just northeast of Nashville early today.

National Weather Service forecaster John Cohen near Nashville said 4 to 6 inches of rain deluged an area along the Sumner County-Wilson County line, beginning about 10 p.m. Wednesday and lasting about five hours.

Much of the damage in Tennessee on Wednesday was in Putnam County, where a home floated off its foundation and a train carrying sand derailed when the tracks were washed away.
