Hundreds of thousands of people in Eastern Tennessee are on alert as floods remain possible throughout Wednesday.

Heavy rain in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is causing severe flash flooding with some areas getting more than six inches in just four hours. While the flood threat recedes, residents in Juneau, Alaska, are told to evacuate as water from a nearby glacier threatens to overrun its basin.

The floodwaters shut down Interstate 24 until around 10 p.m. ET, Rae Anne Bradley, the regional communications officer for the Tennessee Department of Transportation in Chattanooga and the Cumberland Plateau, stated in a post on X. When water had receded, the interstate lanes traveling east were reopened.
