Kingsport: Boatyard Flooding

View of submerged Greenbelt looking down river.

Netherland Inn sits above the water line, but their new Flatboat is dangerously close.

The reproduction flatboat nearly launched itself.

Here is where the path below the flatboat should be.

Looking northwest downriver. There are two historic homes in the background that are located on the Greenbelt, below street level. My friends live there, so I am going to go check on them!

Here are the homes of John and Nancy Scott who are active in the historic preservation community. The house looks fine, but I can hear water rushing.

Here's the source of the rushing sound. This is supposed to be just a trickle.

The water is draining down from Netherland Inn Rd, which is above the backyard, and flowing through the yard. Scary.

It's hard to see, but these front steps are like are waterfall, right now.

While the front yard has flooding damage, at this point it is only from rainfall and not from the rising river. This part of the Greenbelt is on higher ground.
