This needs to be corrected for an upcoming possibly very dangerous day in the affected area. Flood warnings show up but not svr. Noticed the same thing earlier wrt FFWs. In fact, Knox Co does not show a FFW despite the PDS Warning in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line about to cross the Mississippi River in Memphis looks particularly nasty. Flash flood warnings popping up along the path of the cells in about a 5 county long line from Arkansas into north Mississippi/south west tn.

Holston_River_Rambler Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 And to be honest, that MCS line in Middle/ West TN looks like it is also moving more W - E now as a little meso circulation looks like it has formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Still pouring down here. The major creek near the house is the 2nd highest I've ever seen it. In an area that's normally around 3 feet deep it's currently around 16 feet deep based on it's height on an old railroad piling that sits in the middle of it. The railroad piling is normally about 12-14 feet out of the water, the water is currently around a foot below the top. A few years ago the creek got high enough to leave a log sitting on top of the piling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 ****BREAKING*** according to local media...They are afraid of Lake Cumberland overflow and now are dumping 45,000 cfs this hour and plan to increase it to 60,000 by noon tommorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 WKYM 101.7 18 mins · According to a release today from the US Army Corps of Engineers, water is being released now at a faster rate than at any time during the 60 plus year history of Wolf Creek Dam. The largest amount of water ever released from the dam is 40,000 cubic feet per second in January 1974. Releases at Wolf Creek Dam have been increased to 45,000 cubic feet per second this afternoon, and releases are expected to increase to 60,000 cfs by noon Sunday, Feb. 24. Inflows into Lake Cumberland overnight were larger than forecast and the lake’s flood storage is quickly reaching its capacity, prompting water managers to move up the timetable for the increased releases. Impacts are expected in areas near the river downstream, especially in the Cumberland River reach in Kentucky from Rowena to Burkesville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 It's finally stopped raining here. Not sure how long the break will be. The mountain sides look so unique during these times.
