Drove I-40 from TN into NC and back this weekend. Much of the eastbound lane was destroyed by the remnants of hurricane Helene. It is down to one lane near the TN/NC state line. To be honest, the sheer amount of devastation to that road is hard to describe. The eastbound lanes (both of them in most places) are completely gone and in some places (not in my pics, unfortunately) the resulting cliff created by all of the erosion is probably 200 feet high. This goes on for about 12 miles straight. Shocking.
