Soggy weather forces delays, detours in the Chattanooga area

Casey Wallace doesn’t mind rainy days.

“My lawn loves rain; I love sleeping in the rain; I love rain,” she said.

And sometimes a rainy day means she gets to meet more people while working the front counter at Chattanooga Cupcakes.

“A cupcake is a cupcake,” she said. “We may even be busier on rainy days. I think sometimes people come in just because they’re bored.”

The only time she dislikes rain is when storm damage blocks her drive to work — a situation many area residents encountered Tuesday morning. Heavy overnight rains caused flooding, downed trees and school delays across Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia.
