Thanks for the link, best footage with context I’ve seen today. Btw, the surge is currently topping the road deck. 5-0 was bailing, as they should.

Eastern Tennessee is definitely going to have severe flooding an road issues. Going to be lots of washed out areas.


It won't be just east TN. We had a five inch rainfall one July day, and the bridges were swept away if overwash didn't undermine them.

The bridges over creeks were designed for average flow and the occasional heavy storm. Water stops flowing through culverts when the culvert is 2/3 full it loses its laminar flow. Most bridges are over culverts.

So far in the past three days we've had almost five inches of rain. The big rain hasn't happened yet, Rain doesn't soak into rocky mountains : it drains down hill.

TDOT has a good map that in past floods has been actively updated with closings, and the WLOS Asheville site has links to the North Carolina DoT website.

I wish the water level in Cherokee Lake had been a lot lower when we drove by it yesterday.

Do they understand what '10-15 feet storm surge' means? I can't believe they do, and I can't imagine what they are going to go through if the posting is true.

As always, good luck out there.

Prayers to everyone in the path. Be smart and listen to local authorities.

Also please don’t drive through water like that dude in NOLA a few weeks ago

The woman who was posting about them hasn't posted since this morning. I was hoping she would follow up, but I guess not much has happened there yet.

It looks like this channel is going to change camera through the day. They switched to Cedar Key from Ft Myers a few minutes ago.
