Local conditions in Thompson's Station
Thompson's Station is a Williamson County town between Franklin and Spring Hill, about 26 miles from Nashville. It grew up around the railroad and was the site of the 1863 Battle of Thompson's Station, so historic houses and churches stand alongside newer development. In the May 2010 flood about 14.4 inches of rain fell on the town over two days. Williamson County emergency management says the Harpeth River and its creeks are the main flood sources in the county, that flash floods can arrive with little warning and that most streams and creeks are the property owner's responsibility. Older buildings here are likely to sit over crawl spaces, and newer ones can trap small leaks inside finished walls.
