Yep, it was epic. I’m just on the outskirts of Cookeville and my ‘dry creek’ is a raging river.

Not sure if can even get out yet.

I know the area it's a beautiful country up there, Tennessee is a hidden gem in someways. Hope everybody stays safe.

I work in Davidson county. I got hit with a quick storm, and briefly a bit of hail.

I live in Rutherford county, and it wasn't that bad; It could have been worse.
