Flooding at Dolly Parton's Theme Park
Heavy Rains Cause Evacuations
A barrage of showers and thunderstorms spread across eastern Tennessee on Sunday, causing significant flooding at Dolly Parton's theme park, Dollywood. A strong thunderstorm produced a flash flood that swept through the park, forcing visitors to evacuate. Video footage from inside the park shows fast-flowing water rushing through the streets.
At least one person was injured in the flooding. Zoe Ballesteros, a park visitor from Texas, was trapped in the floodwaters but was rescued by park staff. "I was terrified," said Ballesteros. "The water came up so fast, and I didn't know where to go."
