    The outflow into the valley from the big storms on the plateau near Chatt to Dayton is so cool (if that's what it is going on)

    Cant catch a break with rain in Louisville TN, barely got 0.2" over the weekend, just making the pollen mad Last 30-day percent of normal precipitation map... quite a cutoff over the central east Tennessee Valley Cool Gif of the storms rolling thru the valley last night. Some of the thunderheads must have gone pretty high, taller clouds definitely caught a lot of sunlight at sunset. https://media.giphy.com/media/7ThBVIjSZ5fkP8fCsc/giphy.gif

    Cool looking water vapor map this morning with the low-pressure system over Cuba! Was really hoping for a good soaking rain but the SREF DProg/Dt says otherwise for Knoxville... wonder if there is any relation to the large convective flare-up in ne Mexico?

    Did Fairfield Glade just spontaneously combust??

    I can attest to how busy the garden centers were this weekend! Cleared out the brush trying to overtake all of my blackberries... only to realize I just made the deer's job (finding the tasty blackberry flowers) much easier haha. Haven't tried a garden at our house yet (did a couple of potted veggies last year), still amending the very poor shalely soil. Really good at growing crabgrass Planted a bunch of triple crown and natchez thornless blackberries two years ago and they have probably quadrupled in size the last few weeks. Hopefully, I get ONE damn blackberry this year hahaha. May have to fence it... or just enjoy the cute critters drawn to it

    Based on my experience as a geotechical consultant the majority of our slope failures (in fine grained material) are rotational slump. The natural topography is very steep in that bend and roadway benching/cutting changes the driving wedge vs resisting wedge and friction dynamic. Young trees in nearly unstable steep topography will usually have gradual bends associated with long term creep (very shallow seated movement but is generally continual movement). You're right about zigzag of the trees of on very long term rotational slump that stops and goes every few years, but we'd be talking muuuch bigger old growth trees to see that yet. Either way, lots of options to fix but likely not cost effective to do much stabilization. Likely will always be a nuisance spot

    Looking at the trees upstream, may not be the last of this slide haha

    Good catch, pivot relatively close to the valley... looks like some topographic effects causing the east to west movement to slow..?? Let me know if posting these GIFs are giving people issues loading the page

    Sloooooooooooow Mover!... almost looks like it went back west haha The downsloping over the Sequatchie Valley is epic, wish I could have made a drive there!
