Today the Postman and I decided to hit the Cherohala Skyway, when we got to the bottom of the Skyway we were surprised to see the damage the tornado did a few days ago.
The damage was very localized but severe
The house in the field is trashed
The house on the hill had the roof ripped off
Around the curve, the town was narrowly missed
So we headed up the Skyway and the strong smell of forest fire filled the air. When we reached a little over 5000ft. elevation we found out why
After a short "thawing out" we came back off the Skyway and headed home.
You really can't imagine the damage a tornado does until you see it first hand. And the insult to injury was the very large ground fire that mainly is burning off the leaves and dead wood on the forest floor. Looking forward to a greener Tennessee to share with the forum.
