Makes a fantastic photo, but I'm not sure I'd be all that keen on getting it.<BR/><BR/>I've never heard of a hurricane making it as far as Tennessee, but we've had them hit the mountains of NC before. Hugo in '89 was still hurricane force when it went through North Wilkesboro in the foothills, tearing out trees by the hundreds and I understand it did some damage as far west as Asheville -- which is definitely in the mountains. It didn't hammer those areas as hard as it did Charelston, SC obviously, but hard enough that nobody's going to forget it. Oddly enough, even though we're much further east, Hugo didn't really bother us in Raleigh. We had to wait for Fran in '96 to get pounded on. A combination of the remnants of Bertha a few weeks earlier, which had saturated the ground already coupled with what was by then Tropical Storm Fran brought down some <I>mighty</I> trees -- 100 feet tall some of them and quite literally too big for me to reach around by even half. For widespread annihilation it's hard to top a hurricane/typhoon. Triple-digit sustained winds over an area 100-miles or more across with a center that doesn't move fast enough to get stopped for speeding in a school zone.<BR/><BR/>Nasty business.Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751116.post-81453916186080425362009-02-12T14:54:00.000-05:002009-02-12T14:54:00.000-05:00I LOVE photos like this.
