A flash flood sent water rushing through Cummins Falls on Sunday, prompting crews to rescue dozens of people from the area.

On Monday morning, emergency crews recovered the body of a 2-year-old boy who was reported missing Sunday afternoon.

This is what we know so far:

What happened to Steven Pierce?

Steven Pierce of Eddyville, Kentucky, was at Cummins Falls State Park with his family when water rushed through the area about 5 p.m. Sunday. Steven and his father were a couple hundred yards downstream from the falls when water inundated the gorge, rising by several feet in a matter of minutes. Both were swept away and crews were able to find Steven's father Sunday night.

Steven's body was found Monday morning

Rescue crews resumed their search about 6 a.m. Monday, and Steven’s body was found a little more than an hour later. Authorities said Steven’s body was recovered not far from where he and his father were swept away Sunday.

Weather caused Cummins Falls closures this weekend

According to the park’s Facebook page, the gorge portion was closed to the public on Saturday because of unsafe weather. The gorge reopened Sunday but the park’s Facebook page warned of rain in the area.

Meteorologist Faith Borden with the National Weather Service in Nashville said her office first notified the park around noon on Sunday to make them aware of the rain.

Borden said they watched the radar all afternoon, and about nine-tenths of an inch fell in the basin that feeds the falls.

"That's the hard thing for us, there wasn't a lot of rain. Unfortunately, we haven't had a lot of examples to know what happens," she said.

Flash flooding left dozens stranded on Sunday

Emergency crews from two dozen agencies responded to the area on Sunday.

The crews were able to help 64 people to safety.

At least 14 of those people rescued required swift-water rescue or rope evacuation. None had injuries that required transport to the hospital.

Cummins Falls has been the scene of tragedies previously

In 2017, 73-year-old Peggy McDaniel of Paris, Tennessee, died after being swept away in a flash flood at Cummins Falls. Her body was recovered after a three-day search.

Another woman, 45-year-old Lisa Michelle Hillian of Sale Creek, Tennessee, also died during the search for McDaniel.

Jackson County emergency officials said at the time that Hillian wasn’t part of the official search party and had been looking for McDaniel on her own.
