Severe Weather Thread

That’s absurd.

 

That creek has flooded before, but never like this.

Pistol Creek has flooded pretty much the entire greenway the best I can tell.

 

I think my parents are at about 10.5 inches of rain on the month and they have a creek running through their yard now. It’s definitely been a wild year.

 

My brother can't get to my dad's house, all the roads are closed going in and out

 

I don't really really concerned about flooding, but this one has me very concerned. If it rains overnight as expected, it's going to get scary.

 

My brother said they're expecting 5 more inches?

 

If it’s a personal concern, think about getting your electronics off the floor and getting the furniture up on 4” blocks or so. Take things upstairs that are easy to move.

I even sandbagged my doors for Harvey. It wouldn’t have helped had we got the feet of flooding many got, but it would have kept us from dealing with a ton of crap had we gotten a couple of inches of flooding. Turns out our neighborhood was safe but water wreaks havoc.

Whew

 

No, not personal, more big picture

 

I just pray we don't get any wind. Trees will be falling all over the place

Road that I come down to get home is about to crest over. The water is already about 6-8' deep on either side of it.

 

We cancelled our trip up to the father in laws in Kingsport today because of all the standing water everywhere.

 

Overton county is in a really bad situation.

 

What's going on?

 

Hawkins is in bad shape too. Police & EMS are advising folks to stay home. The was a mudslide on Hwy 70 near Rogersville. Took out the road completely & took 2 vehicles with it. One hospitalized & one killed. The parking lot & road in front of my church is completely flooded too. A 200 year old grist mill weir dam is in danger of failing on Big Creek in Rogersville. The sides are being eroded away. Schools have been closed since Wednesday. Don't look for them to be open Monday, but no word yet. It's bad.

And it's STILL pouring.

 

The Holston River is way out of the banks behind my house & a creek immediately behind my house is flooding out of its banks because it can't empty into the flooded river.

Getting a little concerned.
