Oh, to add to story

As soon as I hooked the chain to the tractor, and went to get the truck...

"Bring,bring,bring"...who is calling me? Probably work.

NOPE

Wife "are you ok?"

"Ugh yeah, why?"

Cameras alerted to motion, so she was watching me

Wife "you just rolled the tractor"

"No I didn't,  I flopped it on its side, rops never touched the ground"

Wife "%&>_/=#÷" (no idea what she said)

"What?"

Wife "you need to call ××××××, you don't need to be doing this alone"

So, I called "The Old man" our best neighbor, he came down, made fun of me and pulled me out, with wife's truck

 Could you have swung the backhoe-bucket around, and pushed yourself upright? I've seen heavy equipment do that, but I've never run either kind so I don't know the capabilities.

It is a true disaster here in NE TN, major storms rolled through in the last 8 hrs.

I have been helping SD and VFD clear roads for EMS and SAR teams...my road is main feeder for shady valley.

I watched water rescue turn down the road to head over to next hollar, hw67 was blocked and under water

Heard a little girl got swept away, that was the boats I saw earlier

Last 2 hours have been bad, 10+ trees down, lost a building....we and the animals are good.

Prayers for the little girl.....

Road up to shop is blocked (this was the groomed trail up into woods/camping area)

I'm playing catch up.  So sorry for all that damage.  Y'all in the mountains have been on my mind.  Life stuff up here has kept me away but I'm glad you didn't lose any people or animals. Was there stuff ruined in the little building?

She didn't have me cut the corners to match short oem shelves,  since I was in antarctic working on coop, she did a good job
