I am in the Tri-Cities in NE Tn. Where I live, no bad flooding. Within 20 miles in any direction, it is devastating. We have several TVA dams in this area. They have held, thankfully. The only problem that I had personally was several downed trees in the road in my neighborhood and I had to 4 wheel through the neighbor's yards.
