A dam in eastern Tennessee in Cocke County has been breached. At least one dam in North Carolina (at Lake Lure) is in danger of collapse. Evacuations downstream from the dams are occurring in both states. I-40 connecting Tennessee and North Carolina has suffered a major collapse and is closed indefinitely.

If only we all drove EVs, none of this would have happened.

Update: Officials are now saying that the Lake Lure dam is no longer in danger of failing.

Meh. If we’d all gotten jabbed, there would be peace on earth and harmony in The Spheres.

Especially I-40...

It’s closed at several places.

I just drove from PA to Chapel Hill today. Rough ride through VA, but the rest was ok. Chapel Hill was a mess earlier today, I hear.

I-40 is a major trucking route.

My Mother In Law turns 90 next week. She lives in Asheville, NC. A huge oak tree fell on her house collapsing much of the roof.

No repair crews can get to her house.

Like so many other American females, she was stupendously fat.

Fortunately, it’s your mother-in-law, so you don’t have to worry about it.

I noticed it’s also clogged with commuters and big rv’s, having found myself on it for the first time in about 35 years last year. My memory of it is that it was mostly just trucks back then.

I have always enjoyed visiting that part of the county. Prayers offered for the good folks there.

Sounds like one stupid and fragile highway system built by the diversity crowd.

Drove some of I-40 a dozen years ago...actually much of it is an engineering marvel.
