As Knoxville braces for heavy rain and flooding from Hurricane Helene, here's a look at past storms that reached all the way into East Tennessee.

The Knoxville area could see heavy rains and gusty winds as Hurricane Helene moves inland after making landfall on the Florida Coast. Here's what to expect.

Cocke County Mayor Rob Mathis first alerted residents to leave the Newport area, roughly 60 miles west of Knoxville, in a post to Facebook just before 3 p.m. EST Friday, writing that the Waterville Dam had "suffered a catastrophic failure.

High waters from both the Pigeon and French Broad rivers has closed several roads and led to evacuations and water rescues.

The NWS canceled the dam break warning after hearing from officials at Duke Energy, who were able to visually inspect the dam and confirm it had not failed.
