MM’s Severe Wx Concerns
Three to five inches of rain is expected across the plateau from Monday night through Friday. Be aware that this much rainfall in a week’s time could lead to some flooding issues, especially in flood-prone areas.
MM’s Winter Wx Concerns
On This Day in Wx History
2015- A devastating ice storm brings up to 1″ of ice accumulation to the Cumberland Plateau. The weight of the ice combining with wind gusts up to 50 mph brought down over 700 power poles and hundreds of trees, knocking out power to all of Fentress County and most of Cumberland County for up to 1 month. It was considered the worst natural disaster in the history of Cumberland County.

Saving our Hardwoods
Please help us work to save the hardwoods in the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area for present and future generations. Will you consider signing the petition to save our hardwoods on Catoosa at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflavN4JIaw4nN18fYF3-pw9GMYYo2-D5D5Di6kB0hF7uF1SQ/viewform.
An informational meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, at 6:00 pm at the Community Complex. Marvin Bullock from the White County Chamber of Commerce will give a very helpful presentation on how to make your voices heard. His work to save the Bridgestone-Firestone Wilderness area of White County has given him a wealth of information to share that we can apply to the work to stop clear-cutting on Catoosa. Representatives from the TWRA have also been invited via email and certified letter.
