It was a great night time light show. Storm missed by a couple miles, which actually improved line of sight with the lightning. A week prior we had thunderstorms in Florida, but that's not news in June down there, ha. Night lightning is not a Florida specialty though. Twas so nice to see frequent lightning back home on Sunday. That's wild. We've not had anything nearly that long of a thunderstorm gap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Prayer request……This week has been the worst week of my life and my family could use your prayers. Sunday morning at 5am my wife had a seizure. A couple of hours later at UTMC we were informed she had a large mass on her brain. She will have surgery in the coming weeks to remove it after her brain recovers and the swelling goes down. As of now the Dr’s feel really good that this mass/tumor is not cancerous but they will not know for sure until they do a biopsy. I know this might not be the right thread for this but it’s probably the one most of us look at the most. Thank you for your prayers. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Have my motion camera out behind my house a little ways down in a dip along side the creek trying to get pictures of a bear that's been in the area. It apparently gets chilly in that dip. It was 46 at 1am last night when that blob (it's a raccoon) set the camera off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 That must have been scary @PowellVolz I'm sorry you had to go through that. Please let us know when they confirm the tumor was not malignant. Doctors think that's what caused her seizure? Praying for you, your wife and family. Will be thinking of you all and hope she feels better soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be thinking of you all and hope she feels better soon.Because of the shape and the fact a full body scan didn’t show anything else, the Doctor is 95% sure it’s not cancer. Yes the tumor caused her seizure from the pressure. The mass is egg shaped but flat and lays between her skull and brain. It’s a little bigger than a softball but it is flat and doesn’t go into her brain. Surgery is July 15th and please pray for us. The doctors feel really good about a full recovery but they won’t know everything until they get in there. . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Had a good hour long soaker earlier today, sprinkles off and on the rest of the afternoon into early evening. 71 degrees on the 7th of July is really hard to complain about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Rain has been dodging MBY all summer. It did again today. Temps were pleasant though with some light drizzle/rain drops early with about a 60 second shower this afternoon. Swing and a miss today, but like John said...no complaints about the temps!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 TRI is 1.9F BN for temps so far this month. We take!!! Have had a few nights with temps in the mid 50s. We take!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Had some moderate showers again today, but not as long lasting or intense as yesterday and the day before. It was extremely humid and my grass managed to stay wet all day as the showers were timed out just enough to not let it dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowellVolz Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Also during today’s flood fest…. I was traveling east on Emory Rd going home around 4pm when I saw some wild looking scud clouds right on top of a ridge. I pulled up RadarScope on velocity and it showed some strong wind in the area I was looking at. So by the time I made it to that area the winds on velocity had decreased to nothing. I thought it could have been a little microburst but after I got home, rewinded the radar, the placement of the winds doesn’t add up. This almost looks like an RFD but that doesn’t make sense either. Can a microburst happen anywhere around a cell like this?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Have barely had a drop here this week. Yards reflect this. I-81 eastward has not done as poorly. We have had a three minute "shower" which didn't even get the pavement under trees wet. Moisture was gone within minutes. Hopefully we can score some rain this weekend. The irrigation system in my garden is now paying dividends in this dry weather here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 10, 2021 Author Share Posted July 10, 2021 More heavy showers rolled through in the last hour. Looks like more lined up west of my area heading this way. Future radar gives me another good soaker around 4:30, we will see if it's close to being right. Hopefully some finally make it to Carvers' backyard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Yard looks great, Powell! Finally received some rain last last evening. It wasn't a lot(I don't think), but it was enough to keep the garden watered. Looks like today there is actually a chance for excessive rainfall in NE TN per NWS/MRX on FB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 The firehose is pointed up the Plateau but it might be 10 or so miles west of here by the say it looks right now. Otherwise just had a few sprinkles today. Any eastward movement and I'll probably get soaked again this evening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 5 hours ago, PowellVolz said: Do you get downsloped much? . All the time. I-81 is kind of the demarcation line. East of that is generally a slight upslope until JC, and then of course one hits the Smokies. West of the interstate is more of a downslope. Part of what is going on right now might be that NE TN is sitting just close enough to a Bermuda high that precip is just running out of gas as it hits it. You can really see that on how the line this evening is forecast to dissipate just to the east of TRI. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
