Douglass Mid October?

All that debris is headed on down. Ft Loudon posted this picture. They said it wasn't in their budget to clean it up. Instead, they are moving it from the lock area and pushing it through the flood gates...aka, sending it on down to Watts Bar. They had all the flood gates open at Ft Loudon and Watts Bar dams yesterday. Lotta current on the water now. I'm giving it a few weeks before I even try venturing out, and maybe not even then.

Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg didn't get hit in this disaster. More power to them in letting folks know that they aren't impacted and coming won't hinder the recovery for those that were.

The info request was sort of like asking if the Candy Kitchen was open the day after the Gatlinburg fires. There was nothing at all wrong in asking the question. Doing it then while they were still in search and rescue mode looking for survivors/bodies in the Douglas headwaters was pretty tone deaf.

TVA stretched a boom across Douglas to catch some of the debris. From looking at the map it appears to be about a mile above Dandridge from just above Koontz Creek across to the bluff on the south side.
