2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season Running Thread

A former co-worker moved from Nashville to Tampa a couple of years ago. Her last post was 18 hours ago, saying they were staying put despite being in a Zone A mandatory evacuation area because “the neighbors who have been here for years said our street is usually OK.”

Here’s hoping she outlived that bad decision.

 

Amazingly, we haven't heard a single chainsaw today. That's almost always an indication of the number of trees on the road.

 

Good God.

 

I-40 on the Tennessee/North Carolina border reportedly has been collapsed by flooding.

 

Wonder if it was the water or the annual rockslides being triggered?

 

Newport, Tenn. being evacuated because a dam has failed.

 

That hospital is surrounded by a river on three sides and the interstate, which is under water, on the other.

 

If I-26 is gone along with I-40 then there is no practical direct truck route remaining between North Carolina and Tennessee.

 

No, and they can't reroute trucks from Asheville through Hot Springs because Hot Springs is under water.

 

At my brother's house in Greenville, SC. No power but they are safe.

 

I wouldn’t be taking pictures of that highway. I’d be getting the fuck out of there.
