Looks like this event was MOSTLY overhyped. It really didn't do much in Morgan county I know that. I'm sure there were some areas affected more, but the degree it was hyped was over the top imo.

Be thankful that your area was "overhyped". There have been 15 reports of wind damage in East TN; with reports of numerous power lines and trees down, someone's roof was blown off, traffic was blocked in a few locations, ect. Over 60 thousand people lost power.

I should have specified I will take this over all the damage sustained. I didn't mean to sound like an insensitive prick to those who dealt with damage, etc.

It's alright. I know we all prefer that no one experiences the damages that severe weather brings. I've said this before, but I would rather have my thoughts on a storm to end up be way overblown than to say that it isn't going to do much and we see widespread destruction.

My employee was the one whose roof blew off in Maryville. Lots of trees down also in his area, including one falling right in front of me when I was going to check on him. His front porch was lifted in one piece and thrown over his house, over his back yard, and landed (spun around facing the other direction) halfway through a vacant lot on the other side. Front of his roof was ripped down to the OSB and even some of that was ripped off.
