Weather-Related Deaths in East Tennessee Continue to Climb

Flood clean-up continues in East Tennessee after Helene and unfortunately another death is confirmed in the state.

TEMA says there has been 17 weather-related deaths in Tennessee and officials are still searching for 6 missing people.

Governor Bill Lee says the state is extending the tax filing date for businesses in certain disaster areas to May of next year.

Also, people who lost their homes can also qualify for a sales tax refund on appliances and furniture.
