Day 2 of Tenn. deluge washes out rail line
By KRISTIN M. HALL (AP) –

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Deluged Tennessee saw more rain Thursday that washed out a commuter rail line a day after flooding swept away a home, trapped drivers in their vehicles and derailed a freight train.
Forecasters expected 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 expect it to wreak 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.
However, no deaths have been reported so far.
In Mt. Juliet, just outside Nashville, shop owner Richard Dorer awoke Thursday and was watching the morning television news when he saw the strip mall where his Teach a Child store is located was flooded. The store sells educational books, games and CDs.
Dorer said the store was also swamped when historic flooding struck in early May.
"That was supposed to be a once in a thousand year flood and now it's twice in a thousand years," Dorer said. "We will be lucky to come back from this."
