  1. Ended up with 5.02 inches of rain. Tons of mudslides including a large one on the ridge behind my house. County road crews had to do major work on two bridges by my house today.
  2. One of my brother's insurance clients lost their home. He's okay, just no power. Tornado was a few miles S and East of him.
  3. Only experienced a few rumbles of thunder out of this system but it's been a heck of a rain event with quite a bit of sustained winds and gusts. 4.79 inches of rain and possibly some more still out West with the upper spin moving this way.
  4. I get off at exit 4 or sometimes 5 (Shallowford/75) whenever I go to my brothers house. Seems to be a lot of businesses in that area vs a lot of housing. But I'm sure there were lots of homes hit as well.
  5. Actually I had my malls mixed up. He lives about 10 miles from HP mall, probably 7 as the crow flies.
  6. My brother lives maybe 4 miles from Hamliton place mall near Hixon.
  7. Covington MS-Jefferson Davis MS- 421 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020 ...TORNADO EMERGENCY FOR LOCATIONS IN THE WARNED AREA... ...A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 445 PM CDT FOR SOUTHERN COVINGTON AND SOUTHEASTERN JEFFERSON DAVIS COUNTIES... At 420 PM CDT, a confirmed large and destructive tornado was located near Melba, or 9 miles southwest of Collins, moving northeast at 55 mph. TORNADO EMERGENCY for locations in the warned area. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW!
  8. I was at 29-30 for the last 4 hours. It won't do my fully bloomed apple trees any favors. Shouldn't bother the cabbage in the garden. I hold off on anything frost sensitive until May. Been burned too many times by frosts the first week of May.
  9. Got extremely windy here but the storm itself never managed to connect with the line in Kentucky like SPC thought, so it didn't even rain here with the line passing.
  10. 1.26 inches overnight and today. 9.82 for the month. So barely going to miss another double digit month. 29.36 inches for 2020 to date.
  11. 1.19 inches from the last system. So under guidance here for a change. 8.30 for the month.
  12. .96 in the rain bucket yesterday. 7.11 for the month. Another wet one incoming today into Wednesday. The Euro/NAM/RGEM/GFS show pretty wide spread general 1.5-3 inches with any area that gets under a strong storm liable to see more. Even on the low end that would stick me with a 5 day total just over 5 inches of rain. High end and I have another double digit rainfall month in the books with nearly a week left.
  13. Raw day today. Only managed 42 degrees. Saw an MRX graphic that most areas were 7-13 degrees warmer than here. My area into Wise VA were cold. Was foggy/misty here. Maybe the clouds were thinner in other areas.
  14. Apparently the viruses have a hard time in humidity, so maybe the rain will actually slow it some.
  15. Widespread damage reports from McCreary County 911. Roads blocked, trees and powerlines down. No reports of destroyed homes so far, thankfully.
  16. Big time hook echo about 15 or 20 miles north of me in Southern Kentucky in that warned storm. Hope our SE Kentucky folks are okay.
  17. A friend of mine found a photo in her backyard here in Campbell County. It's one of people whose home was hit in Cookeville. It's probably 90 or more miles away. Wild.
  18. Its generally for above 3500 feet. So most of us won't likely see more than a few flakes.
  19. 40 years ago yesterday and today we had 6 inches of snow and the coldest March day on record. High of 20 with a low of -11. Oneida and Tazewell were virtually the same. Widespread 2-4 inches of snow along 40 across the state but the Northern Plateau was particularly cold, even compared to Crossville who was -2. Notable snow/lows. Gatlinburg 6 inches, -6 Tri 4 inches, -2 Newport 2 inches, -4 Knoxville 4 inches, 1 Lenoir City 4 inches, 1 Greenville 3 inches, -6 Wise 5 inches, -5 Tazewell 6 inches, -10 Lafollette 6 inches, -10 Oneida 6 inches, -11 Crossville 3 inches, -2 Cookeville 4 inches. -1 Nashville 3 inches, 1. Murfreesboro 2.5 inches, 1 Jamestown 5.5 inches, -10 Clarksville 3 inches, 0 Memphis 1 inch, 17 Jackson 2.5 inches, 9 Paris 3 inches, 3 London, Ky 6 inches, -12 Williamsburg, Ky 6 inches, -8 Middlesboro, Ky 5.5 inches, -9 Abingdon, Va 5 inches, -6
  20. With the rain yesterday and storms overnight into this morning, had just over 3 inches of rainfall in the last 30 hours. So off to a fast start for March. 22.67 inches for 2020.
  21. My friend from Mt Juliet got hit, but fortunately she's physically okay. She's not been able to contact all of her employees yet to check on them though.
