You can't go wrong with garden hose handle rail.

Weather resistant and bright enough to be seen in low light.

It's going to open up some cornfield musky fishing.

The Noli in my front yard is rolling strong.  I'll try to post a photo tomorrow if my house isn't floating.  Normal flow is 800 cfs.  She's flowing over 20,000 cfs right now.  40,000 starts getting  to my driveway.

There are reports of a landslide and successful rope rescue of two people trapped in a house near on Pioneer Trail near Cowee Mountain in Macon County. Scanner traffic indicates the landslide starts 40-50 yards from US 441 and is about that wide down the mountain according to those on the scene.

It will relocate some fish, hopefully knockout some beaver dams & blowdowns. Those lil fish are pretty tough, i'm looking forward to Tellico this spring.

: Haywood officials say a mudslide has taken out Long Branch Road in Maggie Valley. Responders are unable to get to the scene due to debris. No evacuations have been issues as of yet. Stay with News 13 for updates.

The creek behind the house has dropped a couple feet so far this morning. Looks like most mid-sized rivers are just now cresting. Man there's a lot of water out there!

I guess if I had to have the flu, this is as good a time as any to have it.

The Harpeth is running 2,000 cfs while normal for this time of year is 200.  I am not going to complain though, as the river needed a good run of water through it to refresh it after a long hard summer.  Also, arrowhead hunting is best just have some high water recedes and leaves a bit of the top layer of ground and gravel exposed - I have really been getting into arrowhead hunting lately...  ;D

It's snowing up here in Johnson City.  I've been working at ETSU for the past four days watching the water fall and the rivers rise.

Now we got this
