The cause of the flooding in Nashville was two days of drenching rain. In two days 13 inches of rain fell, flooding the cumberland river. This river was about 12 feet above flooding stage. Two flood control measures had already been placed in Nashville; These were flood control dams were built, the river was already 50 ft above sea level so this haden't really helped and the levee was built as well. This haden't helped at all because water was leeking out from it leeking into the streets of Nashville.
