Rescuers feared even more bodies would emerge as muddy flood waters ebb from torrential weekend rains that swamped Nashville, much of Tennessee and two neighboring states, leaving at least 29 dead. The devastating floodwaters that hit much of the mid-state claimed a life in Montgomery County Monday night. At about 9 p.m., police said a woman in her early 60s was driving along Palmyra Road in Clarksville when her car somehow ended up in the rising floodwaters.Rescue crews tied a rope to her vehicle and pulled it out of the water. Once the car was out of the water, rescue officials broke the driver's side window and pulled the woman out.She was taken by LifeFlight helicopter to Gateway Medical Center, where she died.Investigators still aren't sure if the woman was swept into the floodwaters or if she drove off the pavement into them.Her identity has not been released. This is the first flood-related death in Montgomery County.There are now 18 confirmed flooding deaths in middle Tennessee, including 10 in Nashville. [ WSMV.com ]
