Damage to parking lots along Ringgold Road in East Ridge.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF)- Historic flash flooding on Tuesday evening left four dead in Chattanooga and East Ridge.

It also left many roads, including Interstate 24, underwater.

Many are wondering what are the next steps for those affected by the storm.

Additionally, questions are being raised if the construction along Interstate 24 contributed to the dramatic scenes that we saw along this stretch of highway.

Troy Plemmons, who saved a woman from being submerged inside of her vehicle, described, “The water didn’t have nowhere to go. The spots where it could go, it just started filling up the road.”

The results of 7 inches of rain in three hours along the interstate was something no one was prepared for.
