Hurricane Helene triggers deadly East Tennessee floods: What to know about the aftermath
TVA's system of dams along the Tennessee River and its tributaries has been tested by record flooding from Hurricane Helene, which drenched Western North Carolina and East Tennessee as a tropical storm , washing out interstate lanes and trapping residents as small streams in the Great Smoky Mountains suddenly became raging rivers.
The harrowing incident happened at the same time as the Unicoi County Hospital helicopter rescue, just a mile south.
A group of Knoxville Police Dept. and Knoxville Fire Dept. members were deployed to Washington County to help ground search.
