What the National Weather Service wrote

The Sequatchie river near Whitwell went into minor flood stage during the afternoon of March 16th and fell back below flood stage on the afternoon of March 17th.

The wider storm

A strong upper trough and low pressure system helped generate a powerful low level jet of winds that led to both high wind reports and wind damage. However, potential energy in the atmosphere was lacking, with severe storms only generating a handful of damage reports and funnel clouds.

Began near Hicks Chapel (35.2320, -85.4889).
