Pummeling a swath, perhaps!

Trump's already mobilizing help. Yes, and I think it started even before the storm hit.
To his credit, the Democrat governor of Kentucky, Beshear, was respectful of Trump and thanked him for his help. I imagine Biden would've given Kentucky the North Carolina treatment.

The Tennessee Valley region thanks to a change about a decade or more ago at TVA may soon see flooding we won't forget. Flood Control was the main selling point back in the 1930's to create the TVA. Three major rivers French Broad {flowing from North Carolina}, Holston from Virginia, and the Clinch including Powell river flowing out of Virginia to the tennessee river.
To appease high dollar developers and lake from property owners on the rivers especially Clinch and Powell rivers forming Norris Lake, TVA has been hold water at high pool level at or 20 ft less than late Spring full level. Well Norris thanks to the front that just came through which wasn't even a biggie has now filled the lake. Meaning the upper tributary dams built for flood control will already be full when Spring rains hit. Norris should be below 990 ft elevation.
As of tomorrow night Norris Lake will be 1024 or 4 ft above full pool level usually happening by June 1st from Spring rains. Your government at work TVA is a federal agency. Norris never was dropped below 1000 ft this winter. Don't want them rich mansion owners seeing those clay winter level lake banks now do we?

This morning, local TV news was saying 11 dead in KY. 1000+ water rescues in KY. In one case in Western KY, yesterday, a vehicle was swept away and (as of the report included in the NWS warning for several counties) had still not been located. In a couple of pics, you could see vehicles in wash-outs / slides where the approach to a bridge had washed out / slid, taking the vehicle that had pulled up to the bridge with it. The driver probably though he had safe roadway beneath him / her. Didn’t. :-(

Another one of the many reasons why I wish cows really did fart. We have a new kitten that farts. Unbelievably pungent, eye-watering, retch-inducing farts. We're taking her to the vet tomorrow to see what the heck is going on in her digestive tract to cause it. Hopefully fixable.
She could melt the polar ice cap single-handedly.

Our Bengal kitten had the same issue. She grew out if it.

Our Bengal kitten had the same issue. She grew out if it. I admire your patience, and pray that if we can't remedy this one's issue, that time will similarly help resolve it. Thanks for the note! :-)
