1234snow Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Flooding has reached epic levels here. Homes being washed off their foundations along the mountain creeks. People trapped in houses and campers. Cars under water. Roads impassable. This is the 2nd epic flood like this in two years. Stay safe John! A long way to go for your area in this event! Currently under a simultaneous severe thunderstorm warning and flash flood warning here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 There are about a half dozen boat rescues underway here. A boat dealership had to loan out some boats to the fire departments and rescue squads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234snow Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Second hail storm of the “day” has hit Kingsport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Still very heavy rain falling. The scanner hasn't stopped for almost 3 hours now. It had rained 2 inches between 10pm and midnight. If it will slack off I will head out for another check. We had one penny sized hailer earlier but no where near like other areas have had. Just the flooding here.

John1122 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Currently under a downpour. The whole county is reporting 4 or 5 feet of water across roads in various low spots. Creeks that were dredged years ago to prevent flooding are out of their banks. Entire homes are under water in multiple area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Hot Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Round 4 or 5, just reached Kingsport. Strongest gusts yet, more heavy rain and several lightning flashes. When the sun comes up it wll be interesting to see how much tree damage occurred from the 2:30 a.m.storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 The rain is relentless here. I've emptied my gauges 3 times since midnight and it's been 1.3 or 1.4 inches each time, that after 2+ inches yesterday and 3+ 2 days ago. The road in front of my house is a white water river. The bridge below my house has for the first time in my life been overtopped by flood water. Highways are closed here I've never seen flood. Creeks are literally 20+ feet above normal and 10 feet above flood stage here. If you live near running water and at the bottom of a ridge or mountain your house is likely under water here this morning. Some have been reported on the scanner as being completely submerged. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 The Big South Fork’s leatherwood Ford gauge is at 40 feet. I’m going to head up toward the Obed to see what the rivers look like up that way, if I can get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234snow Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 About 4 1/2 inches here since yesterday morning. To say it’s a mess is an understatement. Prayers for all those effected with even worse flooding in their communities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Followed the Middlefork to just southwest of Lexington tornado, Henderson Co. Tenn. Photo by Preston Bradley. Dr. Dorian Burnette also chased. Unfortunately our view was blocked by trees. This is from just east of Henderson on Hwy 100, looking toward Middlefork a few miles away (which is on little hwy 22). Tornado tracked to big Hwy 22 south of Lexington. Met two Memphis friends and meteorologists in Corinth, Miss. Boundary was trying to percolate there, and eventually lifted into Tenn. We went north on US-45 to Henderston, Tenn. Then we turned east on Hwy 100 which is oriented nicely for an ENE moving supercell. However the trees were just brutal until Hwy 22. Decision point. We could aggressively push north; but, it would be a short show then RFD. Other chasers did get ahead of it and documented the rain wrapped tornado. One side was visible enough to confirm southwest of Lexington, Tenn. Maybe we enjoyed our Arby's for too long in Corinth, lol! We went south on Hwy 22 instead. My thought was a right mover would eventually cross Hwy 100. Never did so we should have chased it longer. However one never knows for sure in the field; and, we will always put safety first. On the way south on Hwy 22 we noticed the Liberty cell had a beautiful base. However everything was over just retched terrain, so we did not give chase. Dropped into Florence, AL to fuel up and part ways. Fortunately the MEM fiends did not kill me for talking them out of the Delta, haha. I had implored the Miss/Bama convergence zone. I enjoyed lightning on the way home to Chatty. Perfect forecast, well-executed chase, even a good road, but no tornado. Despite low-level tree challenge, visibility was actually good for mid-level structure and features. Plus it was good to get out, see friends, feel the wind, and marvel at the sky. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Love the video @*Flash* and the music too. You never said you chase, woo-hoo! That's the cell we gave up on in the awful terrain near the Tennessee River east of Lexington, Tenn. Here's a shot from a little church just south of the intersections of Hwy 100 and Hwy 22 in Henderson County. South of Lexington. Yellow is possible low contrast reflection. Inflow tail is great but nothing clear besides rain otherwise. Photo by Preston Bradley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 A driver tried to cross the flooded creek Saturday night, fortunately the driver escaped. The SUV did not. This popped out today a long way down stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
