#4 Southern Middle TN - we got off easy so far - storm did a right hook from the east of us to the north, other than steady rain not much impact. Worst damage I could find is a building collapsed in the county to the west of us.

#7 I had high winds and torrential rain. Since I live on the side of a mountain I didn't get flooded but did lose power and shingles with leaks in the house. I have many friends near Erwin and other areas that were flooded. The hospital is totaled. Newport is also totaled. Ashville is pretty much cut off.
