Chattanooga broke its
Christmas Day precipitation record, but with road closings, interstate delays and flash flooding, the Tennessee Valley isn’t necessarily celebrating.

At EXIT 174 on US-11/ US-41/ US-64 / TIFTONIA-LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN flooded road conditions have caused the road to close.
Numerous roads in The Falling Water community just off Dayton Pike are flooding and impassable due to flooding. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to stay off the roadways.
Robert Mill Road is impassable between Dayton Pike and Levi Road as from the bottom gate to the top gate leading to Signal Mountain, according to the sheriff’s office.

McGill Road, Skip Lane and parts of Hale road are also under water in Hamilton County.
Highway officials reported traffic accidents on two interstates in Hamilton County that delayed motorists.
