First and foremost, we hope everyone is safe in the aftermath of the recent storms associated with Hurricane Helene. In regard to the recent storms resulting from the hurricane, we want everyone to know that all is well and safe in Knoxville! In fact, Knoxville was spared most of the rough stuff. There were devastating floods to the east of Knoxville, but mostly closer to NC. Anyone traveling by car from North or South Carolina may have some issues getting to Knoxville, and those traveling down I81 will probably have a lot of traffic to deal with. But getting to Knoxville from the west, or flying into the airport should not cause any problems. Our folks in Knoxville have heard nothing about any damage or closures between the airport and downtown, and no damage or closures downtown. Today, everything is open and as usual in Knoxville. Schools are in session, and it is just another normal day. There are some issues in East Tennessee (about 60+ miles east of Knoxville) to the North Carolina state line, and then the Asheville, NC, areas are difficult, but all in Knoxville is safe and running normally.
