One person was injured at Tennessee's famous Dollywood amusement park on Sunday after a powerful thunderstorm moved across the area and produced torrential rain that caused flash flooding.
eavy precipitation was reported across Knox and Sevier counties on Sunday, prompting the National Weather Service office in Morristown, Tennessee, to issue a Flash Flood Warning for the area, including Pigeon Forge, where Dollywood is located.
The FOX Forecast Center says 2.5 inches of rain fell in one hour, and 4 inches in total fell across the Pigeon Forge area on Sunday.
Photos and videos from Dollywood at the time the flash flooding was reported show water covering walkways and parking lots as people, some with strollers, wade through the rushing water to try and get indoors.
Other videos show a parking lot at Dollywood surrounded by floodwaters, trapping numerous vehicles that were inundated by the rising water. People can also be seen trying to get into flooded vehicles.
After the flooding, Dollywood officials released a statement saying one minor injury was reported amid the reports of the severe weather and flooding.
