10:48 Update: At least 3,363 households are without power in Cumberland County (likely due to a lightning strike). As you can see on the map below, we have more power outages than any other county in TN.

Storms are on a general and gradual weakening trend. Still, I’ll keep an eye on things. Heavy downpours continue across the plateau this evening. Hopefully the lightning and thunder continue to diminish so that folks can get some sleep. Things should get quieter by midnight.

Please be safe if you’re out and about tonight. Visibility can drop to near zero and it can be hard to know how deep the water is on the roads. Don’t be out if you don’t have to.
