    Speaking of more rain, those convective showers blobs in Central MS/ AL look like they might be headed close to the Eastern TN Valley.
  2. Holston_River_Rambler
    Obviously still could be some more significant rain from storms, but for anyone who might look at this thread in the future, here is a radar loop of today's rains:

    Now that the end is in sight for the heaviest precip, how long does it usually take for local streams to crest and start to recede? No clue how something like that typically works.

    First Creek at Broadway near Kroger as of 1:00PM: First creek in a valley bottom near 6th ave:

    The train's engine is overhead of me now. Could hear it roll in 100% louder than most rainfall so far this AM.
  7. Holston_River_Rambler
    Yeah, looking at radar, it's starting to look like basically worst case scenario with the train for the hardest hit areas in Knoxville. At least there's an end in sight after the train gets through.

    Just incredible line aimed like an arrow at Knoxville.
  9. Holston_River_Rambler
    It really is. I feel like I can normally look at a radar and tell how things are going, but this one is so close.

    WBIR weather (N. Knoxville near Broadway and First Creek) just reported around 5 inches since midnight. Showing images of a tree down on a pickup already without any wind yet.

    It has been raining so hard here that whenever I get under a 25 dbz band it catches my attention because it sounds like the rain has stopped.
  12. Holston_River_Rambler
    Yep, that's what I'm worried about for Knoxville. It looks like it's on the razor's edge for now. I could see the line getting just far enough north to spare Knoxville, I could also see it getting stuck until later today over the central valley. The firehose is really aimed at us, now with a little embedded convection:

    First Creek, upstream from where I'm closest to it, but about half a mile from my house: Pics below from within half a mileof my house. The one next to the old industrial building is Standard Knitting Mill, about 200 yards from my house. I think I have about 5 feet, before it over flows.
  14. Holston_River_Rambler
    Same here @ShawnEastTN. I'm about to venture out again to look at First Creek. I live about 200 yards from it and it was already overflowing about half a mile up from my house. Actually concerned about what I see as a non 0 chance I will have to evacuate if the training sets up just right.
  15. Holston_River_Rambler
    That's what I would think as well, but no update. Unusual since the folks who handle that account are very quick to provide information.
  16. Holston_River_Rambler
    I really hope this band lifts north, because that line training over us is exactly what Knoxville does not need:
  17. Holston_River_Rambler
    Totally anecdotal on my part, but I have to say the Tennessee at Knoxville is higher than I've ever seen it.

    From what I can make out this firetruck is near Kroger in Ft. City.
  20. Holston_River_Rambler
    Found a pic of the firetruck: Knoxville Fire dept. reporting some homes along First creek with water coming up to the house.
  21. Holston_River_Rambler
    WBIR in house model showing 0.15 inches through midnight, lol. I think I got that in the past half hour.
  22. Holston_River_Rambler
    WBIR reporting 3.08 inches since midnight (First creek watershed). Janetjanet, we may indeed make a run at the record. Just looking at pictures on WBIR and it looks like parts of first creek are already flooding some parking lots on Broadway. Cars stuck in parking lots with rising water, reports of a road "giving way" and a fire truck sinking into the creek.
  23. Holston_River_Rambler
    I remember in maybe 2011, Broadway near downtown turned into a river. This event is trying it's hardest.
  24. Holston_River_Rambler
    Yeah, I thought we'd dodged the bullet here after watching the models yesterday. If some of those training storms right now over W. TN consolidate into some sort of a new firehose and training line, it will not be good. RGEM kind of shows that and HRRR, as poor as its placement with precip and evolution has been, is starting to hint at it too.

    First creek as it spills into the Tennessee: Several images from First, Second, and third creeks: First creek is out of its banks in places and covering 6th ave. Police are stationed there to keep people out. Third is running over Tyson Park and Concord Ave. The entire playground is partially under water.
