I-40 TN to NC

To those who haven't been through I recommend it just to see it. It's insane. Total 50/50 on whether you'll lose a little time but there have always been slowdowns through there anyway. It's crazy to see the damage that storm created.

 

or try 81 to 26 back down to Ashville.

 

Depending on the time of day that's not much better of a plan. I've gotten in some big backups coming from the north into Asheville lately, especially in the morning and then every afternoon there's a big slowdown for some reason headed north out of Asheville around Woodfin/Weaverville.

 

Keep in mind that it's Mother's day as well. So, probably double the traffic

 

They are paving and finishing a bridge around Weaverville southbound on I-26. I got held up there yesterday about 4 pm for 10-15 minutes.

FYI, it's not much better of an alternative.

 

They got rocked. Rain, mud/land slides, winds. Unlike my sandbar, they don't see a lot of hurricanes out that way.

Glad you got through without to much of a hassle!

Lot of good folks out that way got hit hard.

Worst flooding most of the Appalachians have seen since Hurricane Camille(1969).
