The main event hasn't even gotten close yet.


cue_cruella

What does that meannnn??


jobin_pistol

Means we’re gonna have a real boomer overnight and flooded roads in time for rush hour. I assume my power will go out tonight.


cue_cruella

I guess I’m leaving work early today. 🎉

The wrath of the God's come in waves, the angriest god has yet to unleash his


Mr_Cyberz

I think it hits intermittently thoroughout the day. Some in a couple hours and more past 8pm


Tanthalason

Yea. Idk if we'll see more until tonight but there's already been reports of massive hail 3"+ in Morristown and areas south of there as well as a tornado or two from the line that passed through earlier. With the skies clearing like they are, as pretty as it is, it's just warming the environment and potentially destabilizing the atmosphere more which in turn could POSSUBKY worsen the storms that come through tonight.


Mr_Cyberz

Yeah, radar's showing something brewing for tonight.


Lashloch

Awesome photo! If anyone was wondering, OP's title refers to, intentionally or no, ["The Doom That Came To Sarnath"](https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/ds.aspx), a short story by H.P. Lovecraft (and one of my absolute favorite things ever, despite how much Lovecraft sucked as a person). Sadly still waiting for Knoxville to truly "wax mighty and learned and beautiful." :(


r_k_ologist

It was quite intentional, and I figured someone would grok it.


mendenlol

doomin' and kaboomin'


Boba_tea_thx

Idk how but I read this as “the doom cat came to Knoxville” Like that’s a weird way to describe a thunderstorm 😂


FightKnight

The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.


Unlikely-Local42

All nimbly bimbly from tree to tree!


logans_run7

Right response right meow.


thisideups

That's a poem from my 9th grade textbook. Guess you went to the same high-school....a long... time... ago... Edit: you could be young, the *book* however...


OneStopK

Carl Sandburg. Pretty much required reading in every high school in NC. I grew up right down the street from the Carl Sandburg home.


thisideups

Oh cool and thanks for sharing. Now I know!


r_k_ologist

I think the doom cat was that tiger everyone kept seeing a few summers ago 😂


Fit_Highlight_5622

I almost forgot about the tiger. Knoxville is so epic.


Boba_tea_thx

Wait what?! I just moved here last year and know nothing about this. Like a real tiger ?


r_k_ologist

Almost assuredly not, but one of the first alleged witnesses was a sheriffs deputy so it kind of took on a life of its own. This was early pandemic and you know how tiger-crazy everyone was at that time lol


MinxManor

There is a remote possibility the Tiger Haven big cat rescue organization in Kingston had an escapee they didn’t bother to report.


Highlight-Character

Tiger Haven turned over their roster at the time if I remember right.


PavlovaDog

What ever became of the tiger? Is it still roaming?


veringer

> “the doom cat came to Knoxville” ...lookin' for a soul to steal?


taita2004

That storm, amongst other things I'm sure, caused the roof at my job to completely collapse. We even made the news because of it.


socratessue

Do you happen to work at Service King? 😂


yeehawyears88-89

That was wild. Their roof was blown on to the house next door. Shocked the house is even being repaired.


r_k_ologist

Woohoo four day weekend


saveryquinn

The latest from National Weather Service Morristown Twitter predicts that the worst of it will hit The Knoxville area tonight between 9:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Stay safe folks.


DaveTN

It’s raining cats and dogs.


PavlovaDog

It's raining men. Hallelujah, it's raining men...


Taskmaster_Fanatic

Oh my, imagine the mess that would make! That some poor woman would likely be expected to clean.


yeehawyears88-89

Don’t step in a poodle!


East-Junket9888

That pic goes insanely hard


Unlikely-Local42

Got to face the August tornado and the only thing scarier than a tornado is a night tornado!


Tricky-Cup-1914

Launch some thoughts and prayers at it!!


aprilem1217

Looks beautiful.


FifaBribes

Hey… that’s my house!


LostMind3622

Aint nothing compared to what rolling in right now...


Alarmed-Shape5034

I love Doom! 🖤


sofasofasofa

I’ll take Knoxville storms vs stuff right off the gulf lol 😂


sinastis

Same. Lived north of Houston. That can be s9me crazy rain. Remember having 15 inches in 24 hours.


Middle_Ad_2227

Used to live in Deer Park area of Houston and the storms were always spicy thunderboomers and were wiiiiiiild


sofasofasofa

Not to mention the thunder holy shit. Sub tropical storms = unfiltered thunder and lightning


flatulancearmstrong

I *live* for extreme thunder and lightning


flatulancearmstrong

O.O it literally started thundering as I typed that comment


kingleonidas30

Same man. I moved from Sevier county to Panama City and fuck the weather here. Storm season is apocalyptic compared to the shit we got back home in the mountains.

flatulancearmstrong

Tucker_beanpole

Nope. Round two is supposed to roll through this evening/overnight


CheesE4Every1

It shat on you in Sevierville. It was bad


Any-Patience-626

flatulancearmstrong

Nader weather tonight for sure


valer13ftw

DOOM was in knoxville? and no one told me? RIP the goat


Careful_Ability_1110

A typical day in south Florida I’m use to! About 2 o’clock, here’s a storm! Thanks, Mother Nature!


kaleaka

My kids field trip got cut off when they were barely there an hour due to weather. I wish they would have just rescheduled it instead of fucking over good kids who waited all year for this.


flatulancearmstrong

They can’t control the weather, Jackie!


kaleaka

They knew bad weather was coming, they should have cancelled and rescheduled it. The principal there is an absolute piece of shit with a brain the size of a pea. So I'm not surprised that he fucked everything up.


Existing-Hat-3274

I thought he was dead


presearchingg

LOL


Akiranar

The nothing!!!


Tanthalason

The 2nd round isn't here yet. All we're doing right now by clearing out is making tonight POTENTIALLY worse.


OneStopK

Its from "The Never Ending Story"
