Happened in Idaho this past Spring too. What a mess

Hope your new place gets through it unscathed!

Some wild weather, hope it goes through fast without any or much damage.

Couple dams up river from us broke last night. Lots of places flooded out.

There are a lot of bridges in our county that have been completely washed away and are gone. Here’s one,

We haven’t gotten any rain since midday yesterday. My property is all dried out almost. Ground is wet but no more puddles.

Went and took some pictures with the drone.

The river is the tree line in the top right corner of this picture. There is a road (the road to our place) running right through the middle of this picture.



That white roofed building just off center right in this picture is 1/3 of a mile from the river bank to the front door.

This is looking toward that bridge that I drove over and posted from yesterday.

Bad out there. Crazy.

That same bridge is in the middle of this picture



I think we are okay where we are at but it is a lot worse than it was 12 hours ago. Two dams up river from have broken.

I was in Kingsland GA Thursday night waiting for it to pass before I went down into FL to deliver. I took this about 6pm. Got a lot of rain and wind. The power started going out around 11. It would stay out for a bit then come back on. It went out several times.

I saw a report that they found a couple cracks in the dam on the TN river. They ordered evacuation

Yes, my whole area was under evacuation notice. Within 2 miles of the river and we are 1.5 as the crow flies. Two dams broke already. I’m guessing you are referring to the nolichucky dam, which was a concern but seems to be less of one now. The big issue is water was going around the dams because there is so much. It’s eroding the sides.

This is 26 between Johnson City and the NC state line. It's from a news report I just saw on YouTube

Probably was, the report I saw didn't say which one. But I did see the report about the nolichucky dam after I posted
