Red Cross volunteers from the Grand Strand and the Pee Dee left for Nashville Monday, driving Emergency Response Vehicles to help victims of flooding there.
More than a foot of rain fell in Nashville in just two days over the weekend. Officials spent the day evacuating the downtown area because the Cumberland River could crest more than eleven feet.
Local responders inspected two ERV's headed for the area. Richard Ayling and his wife, Francine, will spend three weeks in the flooded area. "I feel great to be able to help. I would like to be helped too, if I were in such a circumstance as them," said Richard Ayling.
The weekend storm is blamed for at least 15 deaths in Tennessee.
