Thanks for posting. I was at Watauga Lake when that hit and I've never been in anything like that. According to the article, that was where the storm was the strongest.

Dude! That tree is huge! That thing just straight up snapped like 5 feet up it's trunk from the wind. I'm impressed by that power.

The destruction of trees up here on Watauga Lake is incredible. It looks like a tornado bounced around. What's weird is in different sections they were snapped in different directions, so it's hard to believe it was a straight line wind.

What is the possibility of some weather this evening? Some storms near Gatlinburg look like they are headed west.

The way this summer has been you're likely looking at a long, slow cool down. I wouldn't be surprised at mid 70's for Halloween if I'm being honest.

The countdown to the Total Solar Eclipse begins today. 1 year from this day, the southern half of East Tennessee will get to see the very rare total solar eclipse.

~Severe weather bulletin~

It's been awhile since we've had a severe threat, but there's a marginal risk for strong to severe thunderstorms for all of East Tennessee. Most of the storms will be scattered, and moving in the unusual west direction. The primary threats with the stronger storms is damaging downburst winds up to 60 mph and possible localized flooding.

I had to drive through the rain storm yesterday at around 5pm. Let me just tell you it's been quite a few years since I've seen rain pour down that heavily. I was on Middlebrook Pk going west and you could barely see in front of you. The people around me including myself had our hazard lights on. It was insane. The water came down so heavy and fast it was instantly pooling on flat pavement.
