@TNAgriculture I noticed several vendors interviewed on YouTube at the recent NAMTA exhibition in St. Louis were proudly extolling their 100% cotton paper for artists and crafters.
3:42pm Thursday. A broken line of strong to severe storms west of the area is moving east. These will bring some scattered storms to the Tennessee Valley through the evening hours. Heavy rain, lightning, gusty winds, and small hail will be the biggest threats. @DavidKarnes3
🚨 Troopers will be out in full force this holiday weekend, actively enforcing all observed traffic violations.
Buckle up, slow down, drive sober. Stay safe out there! 🚗💨 #HolidayWeekend#DriveSafe#TrafficEnforcement

How much moving water does it take?
It only takes 6 inches of fast-moving water to knock over an adult.
It only takes 12 inches to sweep away a small car.
It only takes 18–24 inches to carry away most vehicles - even SUVs and trucks.
Heavy rainfall can lead to dangerous situations. If you encounter flooded roads, remember to turn around—don’t drown!
Have a way to receive weather alerts and stay weather aware!
4:15 eastern Wednesday radar update. Though we do have light showers continuing for the next few hours, the heavy rain is staying way to the south. Still be careful travelling out as wet roads and residual flooded roads may still be possible. @DavidKarnes3
CAUGHT ON CAMERA: An EPB employee jumps into flood waters near the I-75/I-24 split on Tuesday to save a woman who was trapped in an SUV by flooding.

So excited to read about GE Appliances’ investment in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. My GE refrigerator and double oven were made in Louisville, KY, around 1960 and they still work!
