Flood fears spread across 11 eastern states into Kingsport and upper East Tennessee as the South Fork Holston rises with more rain forecast. The river climbed to five feet one inch at noon, up four inches from the previous day, isolating communities and threatening homes including the Retreat family near Hammond bridge.
