The Great Smoky Mountains are living up to there name today - it rained heavily overnight and the mist is down very low. I was going to take the scenic drive to Chatanooga via the Great Smokys but it's not worth it today. It has been very warm the last few days - 84 yesterday with 60% humidity. There are flood warnings out for several places down south in Alabama including Birmingham. I may have to change a few of my plans like visiting Montgomery as a result.
The roads have been surprisingly busy down south, more so than up north. And if you think we have roadworks at home, you have not seen them American style - they go on for 20-40 kms in some cases. Not that the roadworks aren't needed. In my opinion, the roads here on the highways are worse than the poorest country roads I've driven on. As for the local roads, I tend to hope the car (a blue Ford Focus) will come out on the other side of the potholes.
