best advice would be to get, basically get on the interstate head to 140, but then there's some heavy rain making almost zero visibility, so if we can find our way around it, I'll see if I can come up with something.

I'm in the Mount Olive community off the Maryville Pike, near Alcoa Highway, five miles north-east Rockwood.

The debris is branches and tree limbs and states and things like that.

It's not a circular or funnel cloud, it's just flowing debris.
02:50
To bring it in the road?
02:51
In my guard.
02:52
Okay, gotcha there. How big are the limbs, the branches?

Everything I've seen is one inch diameter and smaller.
