On April 15, 2021 water from an upper floor of a luxury condo building called the Vancouver House, in Vancouver, British Columbia, flooded and left the elevators inoperable. The developer stated that the cause of the water leak was a gasket failure and plans have been made to replace all gaskets of the model that failed. Damages to the units are being assessed to determine if residents have to move out for the repairs to be completed.

On March 28, 2021, torrential rains across Tennessee flooded homes and at least one church. A portion of Interstate 40 was temporarily shut down due to high water and first responders also told drivers to avoid part of I-24 south of Nashville.

Over 34 swift water rescues were carried out and as many as 18 homes in one neighborhood had to be evacuated. Three men and one woman have been found dead.

While there was no longer any precipitation falling, flooding remained a threat as authorities expect rivers to continue to rise.
