John1122 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Good thing I got what I needed earlier today. This is the road below my house between myself and town. There's other ways out but they require a good 4x4. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk That's my biggest concern here...heaviest rate look aimed more south of 40. River here didn't get to recede much and is right at bank full...need the stuff over N Al to weaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPetrulli Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Pretty intense and unexpected flooding for me in Pigeon Forge. Didn't expect much of anything today but ended up with 2.53" since 5 AM. Houses across the street got flooded by a creek that I have never seen get so high. Numerous areas around the county flooded, never had a FFW issued for some reason however. Creek is still flooding a majority of the property across the street and has only gone down a tad. Hopefully thunderstorms tonight won't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are rough but they are 100+ year old wagon roads, turned logging roads. They usually hold up no matter what the weather. Not as prone to mudslides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holston_River_Rambler Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Sadly it looks like what is left of the convection in N AL is heading straight for portions of E TN. At least the end is in sight now on radar with no more for several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 The TN river At Savannah TN crest expected at 399.97 ..2nd highest crest on record the amazing thing is the crest of record was just 1.5 feet higher in 1897.....before the flood control the Cumberland basin may have gotten a minimum ..with more north and the heavy Eastern TN stuff SE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Byron Begley of Little River Outfitters writes a fantastic fly fishing blog for GSMNP. He also does a great job in talking about river flows. Here is a link to his discussion about where river levels are currently compared to historical averages in the Smokies. He also notes which roads(and why) certain roads are closed in the Park. This article was written this morning. Also, check out that 1994 flood stage for Little River in 1994. I remember that one. Just incredible. They had to rebuild the road from the Y to Elkmont. Reinforcement boulders the size of vans were washed away that year. https://littleriveroutfitters.com/pages/fishing/report.htm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 4 hours ago, Jentz85 said: Here ya go. riverstatus.usace.army.mil/# . taking the calculations to the past few hours... if you divide the difference between the inflow and outflow ..for every 7400 net difference the lake rises .01 feet per hour so the lake is at about 754 or will be soon...taking the opposite ..if there is 60,000 outflow and ZERO inflow that's a drop of .081 an hour or 1.95 feet per day... in a week that's a drop of 13.65 feet so if the lake magically stops rising at 754 (it won't , maybe crest at 755) and all the inflow magically stops (it won't of course) the lake level will be only be down to 740.35 feet in a week....any pattern change to wet after that would be trouble... the old record was set in May. after most of the wetter spring was over ...this is only Feb going to be a long battle and looking at the past 24 hours precip most of the basin did indeed get the gap in between the heavy Stuff in eastern TN .and the stuff further up into KY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
