Flood in Montgomery County, Tennessee

The Red River at Port Royal crested to 33.05 feet which was minor flood stage. At this stage, flood waters impacted agricultural land and adjacent areas along the river from the Kentucky State Line through Adams, past Port Royal State Park, and to Clarksville. This included the Red River Valley Park where water covered most of the parking area, the Porters Chapel Public Access area, the River Club golf course, and portions of the Clarksville Country Club.

A potent storm system brought multiple rounds of thunderstorms and severe weather to Middle Tennessee on March 15, 2025. The main risk for severe weather was associated with a line of thunderstorms that tracks east across Middle Tennessee during the afternoon and evening hours. This line produced one EF-1 tornado near Christiana. As this line moved towards the Cumberland Plateau, it strengthened and caused wind damage in numerous locations. Some of the worst wind damage was found in Palmer where an estimated swath of 95 mph winds uprooted trees and caused structural damage. Numerous downed trees and structural damage was also found in White, Fentress, and Overton counties. These multiple rounds of rain also caused flooding issues with flash flooding and reports of road closures reported across Middle Tennessee. This heavy rain also caused several rivers to rise into flood stage for days after this event.
