Tornado Pounds Greenback

I just got up and turned on the television to learn that a tornado hit Greenback, which straddles the Blount and Loudon county line, last night. Highway 411 was closed overnight, and several homes and other buildings were damaged or destroyed. Greenback is about fifteen miles from where we live in Maryville. I checked outside our house this morning and could discern no evidence of the storm. In fact, I slept right through it.

UPDATE: Ed Rupp just reported that 411 is passable, although a lane is still closed northbound.
