Severe storms flooded homes and highways in the Nashville area this weekend, The Tennessean reported, prompting Vanderbilt University to cancel examinations and some medical-school classes set for Monday. No injuries were reported on the campus, but some students were displaced from dormitory rooms that suffered water damage and a library was closed because of flooding.
Other higher-education institutions in Nashville, including Belmont, Lipscomb, and Tennessee State Universities, reported library closures on Sunday and some cancellations on Monday. The American Red Cross set up an emergency shelter in Lipscomb’s Student Activities Center that had reached its capacity of 200 people on Sunday.
