UPDATE: A young family of three were killed after a large tree fell on their car Tuesday night.

East Ridge police responded to South Moore Road just before midnight to attempt life-saving rescues.

They found Yuri Tomas Vicente Lopez, 29, Giomara Epifania Vasquez, 27, and Emma Vicente, 3, all deceased.

Officials said the ground had become so saturated in water from flash flooding that the tree fell and crashed on top of the family's car. It also knocked over several power lines, leading to a power outage.

Another man was found dead in flood waters on East Brainerd Road Wednesday after he reportedly 'ran into' floodwaters last night.

These incidents bring the total death count from severe storms in the Tennessee Valley to four.
