Hoping the flooding is not as bad as it is projected.

I was putting some notes in another thread, but so far the flooding looks to be a bit wild. Latest I saw from NOAA is forecasting up to 18 inches of rain in my area. First that I've seen a warning like this... |

Eastern TN here. Our lake (Cherokee) is a reservoir managed by TVA for flood control, downriver navigation, and recreation. Lake level normally rises and falls 20ft over the course of a year. Was down as is normal about 12 ft recently, up 2 feet this week so far and projected to rise another 5-6 feet by the end of Saturday. (The estimate this AM was another 10 ft). Still below full pool and well below flood level, but that’s a lot of water and all TVA lakes east of Knoxville area have similar forecasts.
More rain and lake fill will come Sunday-Tuesday (TVA only forecasts 72 hrs out). Typically with this much rain there will be flooding in the hollows and in the lowlands of GA, SC and NC. FL obviously at greatest risk. Everyone stay safe. |
