Thanks folks! I've seen this described as a "once in 500 years" event (up from 100 years). The last time there was flooding like this in the NC mountains was 1916, and this one beat those records.

There are whole towns (small ones) that have been washed away in the NC mountains. I gather that TN is just as bad. Landslides, roads washed away, etc. This was a "100 year event". Every newscast s ... |

OK, this one had the ball in front of #7 shot. The problem I had with it is that the shot capsule has a slight taper inside, narrowing toward the front. I tapped the ball in but it bulged the capsul ... |
