Any word on Knoxville?

Knoxville didn't get much of the storm. I saw early predictions of the eye going over Knoxville before heading northwest into Kentucky where it was supposed to stall out and die.

Fortunately for them, unfortunate for us and western NC, it steered east and hung around.

Nightmarish, deadly disaster zones across 5 states. Many millions without power. Thousands missing or presumed dead. Kamala completely paralyzed.
Media silent because chaos is bad optics for the regime.

Just had a bunch of Blackhawks fly over heading to the flooded areas

Thousands missing??

Absolute 100% worst case scenario. (Re: Storm path & topography.). My heart breaks for those affected.

Where the F is the federal response, even a mention of this storm by Kamala or Joe?????

We have a President who showered with his daughter at an extremely inappropriate age and raised a crackhead son. What do you expect from a man like that?

They are only interested in looting the treasury at this point. That and there are incompetent morons who were put into positions of power to satisfy diversity quotas and pay back on political favors.

They tend to overestimate things and hope that is the case here. I suspect there may be thousands of people who cannot contact family or friends to let them know they are ok. Not so much missing as unable to contact or be contacted. Lack of power, bad cell service, etc. probably have communications pretty poor to nonexistent.

OMG! One county has a thousand missing?

Way worse than Katrina. Ten times worse than Katrina.

The 28 FEMA USAR teams have air assets they work with. HSART (HELICOPTER SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS) are in the area and providing assistance.

Just FYI... One of the best ones in the country is right here in Texas, part of Texas A&M task Force One. The Texas A&M engineering extension service also trains helicopter search and rescue teams.


Certainly, more needs to be done. In my mind you throw every asset you can possibly find at something like this. I can assure you that the boots on the ground are doing everything they can.

Reports from a couple locations around us are 70+ fatalities each. Not sure if that extrapolates to 1000s across the entire storm path.

Thanks. Went to law school in Columbia.

We are safe - on generator power - but our water supply will be an issue soon (as will propane for the generator). Getting up the mountain to our house is sketchy - trees and power lines over the road - so getting fuel may be impossible. We are the lucky ones - no damage, some downed trees on our property. The people in the valleys - all over East Tennessee and West NC have just been hammered. I'm just blown away but what I've seen the last few days.

Problem is the horrid devastation to restore and lives that need to be saved. Armchair quarterback Bozos pointing out warnings that have zero impact on reality solve nothing.

I saw that one county has over 1,000 residents missing or unaccounted for.

Fed govt won't let them strike now. Too important to the country's economy/function.

That's good to hear because if this is true, there is a major disaster unfolding there.

Maybe running potable water but if they go weeks without otherwise then you might as well give this election to Trump.

You can't have a disaster like this running into an election. Kamala won't be able to disassociate and say this is a Biden thing now.

It's true. I spent a few years with TEEX and TXTF1. These guys are good and they train constantly.

This situation is just simply overwhelming.

Ignore the comments on the post and watch the video. Just unreal level damage there.

Water treatment plants are going down now as well:

UPDATE: Water intake plant serving Greene County, TN and surrounding areas are unsalvageable.

Emergency pumps are being brought in, but delays are expected.#TNwx pic.twitter.com/ae1wwUnOMy

These guys are helping as well. All hands on deck for this one.

Open up the google maps view of that area and turn on the traffic icon.

Roads closed all over the state.

From my aunt. This is her hometown. She currently lives in Oregon but her whole family was here.

It's that dam designed to be overtopped??? I'm hoping that's just an uncontrolled ogee weir. But it's also going around the left abutment

I’ve spent the last two days pushing out as much information as possible about what has happened and is happening across Western North Carolina on my weather page. Let me just say that some of the messages and reports I am getting are beyond catastrophic and devastating. #ncwx pic.twitter.com/WHdbozfJcF

These storm chasers have been doing good work getting news out.

[This is the second time you've posted X links that bypass obscenity filters. Take a break, and when you come back clean it up -- Staff]

It's infuriating the lack of federal response. Years ago I was on my way over from Memphis to Raleigh and a rock slide closed I40 from eastern TN into Asheville and I had to take some detours through all these little towns to get past it. I stopped frequently due to the scenery and people were beyond friendly.

I can't even fathom those towns being completely gone.

Lack of media really is wild. Even the WSJ only has one half-assed article and it's barely above the virtual fold on the app.

Heartbreaking.

That's not an excuse for outlets like Fox though. If the communities are really cut off and hundreds are dead then it will be a major wall to wall story tomorrow.

I don't care who the news outlet is... There's enough to go off of on Twitter to fill up what their normal repeat reporting is when something newsworthy happens. I mean they filled up 2 days of coverage with Trump's 2nd assassination and there was practically zero footage

Brother in law and his wife live in Asheville. We did not hear from them until 4:20 this afternoon. No power, no gas, no phone, no water, etc. Home is safe so they have shelter. Several trees in yard are gone or damaged.

Found a neighbor who had Starlink and a camper equipped with lithium batteries. He was able to use that resource to text the family this afternoon. Says lot of people were there doing the same. Neighbor says he'll leave it active until the batteries go dead!

They are unable to leave their area by car due to washed out roads, bridges, trees/debris blocking road, etc.

They prepared but no one expected this amount of rain and the results. They have food and thought they had enough water. Concerned water may run out Tuesday so hoping for some help there. Wishes he had bought another propane canister, or filled up the one he had, as he ran out of propane today. Can't cook a hot meal.

Weather isn't too hot or too cold so it's not uncomfortable climate wise.

I've got an employee that lives near here. It's very sad the information he's been sending. Our supplier that's there can only say they're closed indefinitely while they work to get water and power restored to the area.
