this is that hospital exit. that is I-26. a section of I-40 near Newport has washed away. TVA put out an alert around midnight that the Nolichucky Dam was in imminent danger of failing.
there are at least 3 main bridges along the Nolichucky in Unicoi, Washington, and Greene county that are gone. a bunch of smaller ones are destroyed. there are a few areas that can no longer be accessed by car.
similar in Western NC. lots of areas without power and cell service. lots of cell towers down. really afraid what is going to be found in some of our valleys and hollers when they are finally accessed.
