Biden Is Asked For TN Storm Disaster Declaration

Tennessee’s two U.S. Senators and nine members of the U.S. House have sent a letter to President Joe Biden asking him to approve Gov. Bill Lee’s request for a major disaster declaration for a February winter storm.

Lee requested federal public assistance for Crockett, Fayette, Haywood, Lauderdale, Shelby, Tipton, and Weakley counties following an ice storm that brought freezing rain, sleet and snow to West and Middle Tennessee on Feb. 3 and 4.
