Is Tennessee usually hit this hard by hurricanes? I can’t recall ever seeing anything this catastrophic from a hurricane that hit Tennessee before.

No. Another problem is that we had a week of rain BEFORE the hurricane came through.
Hi, someone from Asheville checking in. Absolutely devastating here, much like Erwin up the road.
I've never been in a hurricane before this but it was absolutely insane. We're so far inland, and so typically climate insulated. No one expected nearly this and it quickly overwhelmed everything we have. Just got soke cell back, I've heard potentially weeks for power for some and same on water.
Glad you are okay. I got out yesterday too and the scenes of the city were just an absolute mess. Glad the cell towers are back online, so many people I saw yesterday were just trying to find a spec of reception to get even a single text out to their loved ones to let them know they were still alive.
It's going to take quite some time to repair all the damage and get power back up, but I saw the National Guard rolling in as we left with tree chippers 🙏
I hope you and yours are safe and healthy. Hopefully no fatalities in your family and friend group on the local area.
Take care out there.
AB tech has shelter available (near mission hospital), 88.1 has updates at 10 and 4 every day, i26 to the south is the only way in and out for civilians now. Stay safe everyone
I have a coworker who lives in Flag Pond and can’t get home since Friday until the roads gets fixed. Must have the interstate open again to get home.
Not climate change sure sucks, don't it, Republicans. Anyway I live up north so I'm fine, at least as far as hurricanes are concerned.

My parents came from Ohio to visit me in Texas just after Ike came through. I was going to show them around Houston the first couple of days, but we just got out of there. About halfway through their visit, the neighbor called to tell them trees were down and there was no power and it was expected to be out for days. Weather (and IIRC tornadoes) from the remnants caused all kinds of damage.
build in a flood plain and that will eventually happen.
For such hurricanes with precipitation amounts beyond the scales, every area is a flood plain.
