Can someone please explain why the buildings are that far underwater if there was only 18" of rain? Is part of it from the rivers washing over? I'm not from an area that floods much, so forgive me.

Yes, much of that area is adjacent to the Cumberland River, which overflowed its banks. The Cumberland "collects'' water from many, many creeks (many of which also flooded). Plus, the amount of rain that fell was insane, AND since we had a very wet winter, the ground is fairly soaked.
