Parts of Washington Co TN got hit hard too. We live part way up a mountain with the Nolichucky about mile away. We have no damage but all the bridges across the river are either closed, will need repairs or were washed out. we are basically on a large island with no way to leave. The road to Erwin through the mountains is mostly gone and there is a house siting on a part of that is still there. They are hoping to have one bridge inspected and the road you would take north reopened by early next week but it will be the only way out for awhile. No electric, water, and poor sell service. Internet via StarLink when we have the generator on and then till a backup battery runs down, our only real connection to the outside world.
We are thankful that we are reasonably prepared with extra food, water, gas and generator but not sure it will last. The power company can't get much done till they can get across the river with some crews. Rumor is that one crew got trapped on this side and are doing what they can since they can't get off. A neighbor said there are hundreds of cars parked in lots and along the road waiting to get out that were trapped here when the water rose.
Our main bridge North to Jonesborough is gone, we heard it got hit by house. Have seen several videos of Erwin with multiple house and barns floating down the river with a few cars and trucks flowing with them.
