Left my property down in Monroe County where it’s in the 50s and raining, to come back to Iowa where its 11 and we have 23 inches of snow on the ground.

Hope everyone stays dry as you can back home. If any of y’all are bored and feel like doing some staining on my cabin head on down and get to work. I’ll catch up with you in a few weeks.

As if the flooding threat hasnt been bad enough, there's a chance of strong to severe thunderstorms tomorrow for West and Middle TN (may see some in East TN, but it will be more isolated). Any thunderstorms, severe or not, will increase rainfall totals greatly in those areas that see them.

I'm keeping a close eye on this band of showers/storms over middle TN.

If it trains over Knoxville things could get really ugly.

The potholes on the interstate are massive now. I’m pretty sure there are some on 640 just before it merged onto 40 West that are causing flat tires.

There is flooding all over Knoxville. Cedar Bluff is flooded in two separate spots. In front of All Saints and then the strip mall with Aarons, Little Ceasar, Lotus Garden.

If you have to get out tonight or tomorrow for anything I highly recommend using Waze. It reports active flooding as well as pot holes.
