In the summer of 2017, a large crowd was enjoying the water at Cummins Falls State Park when, unbeknownst to them, a storm was raging upstream. Because the skies were still clear at the falls, the people there were taken by surprise when the water level rose about six feet within a few minutes. Two swimmers lost their lives in the swift-flowing water.
Since then, flash-flood sensors have been installed at the park, however, a Chattanooga native and Tennessee Tech student is helping to give park rangers an even better idea of when it’s not safe to be at the falls.
