Clarksville is grappling with severe weather conditions today. Heavy rainfalls have led to flash flooding and road closures across the Midstate, putting drivers and public safety at risk. The Clarksville Police Department has warned motorists to remain vigilant in these hazardous conditions. The department cautions against navigating through flooded streets.
According to a social media post from the Clarksville Police Department, areas known for typically being low-lying are now submerged, creating a trap of sorts that could be deeper or carry more threats than meets the wary eye. It is imperative that drivers reduce their speed and be on the lookout for signals of emerging flash floods.
The police have had to close several roads, including parts of Trenton Rd. near Hayes St., Trento Rd. near Meriwether Rd. and Crossland Ave. at Greenwood Ave.
