Pom lovers, more coming soon. I shot this video today when dark clouds were approaching fast and a severe thunderstorm was approaching. It was raining so hard...it was intense. It was just a summer storm in east Tennessee.

  • After your turn onto Gallher View Rd, you made a left onto Walker Springs Rd. Correct?

  • @Hawk6DM Yes. Off Gallaher View Rd are two Walker Springs Roads. Before Gallaher View was built, Walker Springs curved in and out around the area. The red light is Walker Springs then the left I turned on is also Walker Springs. By the way, just last night we had a huge, very intense storm pass through. A large tree blew down and completely blocked Walker Springs at the 4-way stop at the end of this video. It was cleared and reopened about an hour ago.

  • okay this is weird this is west town mall close to where i live lol

  • @xACiiDTWiZZleR Yes it is. At the beginning, turning left off of Kingston Pike onto Downtown West Blvd toward the I-40 ramps. The mall would have been on the right had I scanned that way. During the storm I was heading west on 40. I exited at 379A, Gallaher View Rd. This video was cool because at first, I had no clue what to expect. GOOD COMMENT!

  • Wow, pretty intense heavy downpours there, can't even see the road!  I think there was also a lightning bolt at about 3:06. Amazing storm!

  • @54spiritedwill54  Good call on the lightning at 3:06. I don't remember spotting that before. Thanks!

see all

  • I remember 2 years ago it rained so hard. I had to pull over until it tapered down. I really couldn't see anything.

  • This is some twilight zone stuff right here.

  • I currently live in the Seattle, WA area. I grew up in East Tennessee near Oliver Springs. In my days there, I spent quite a bit of time in West Knoxville. As a matter of fact, I got my first driver's license at the Highway Patrol station on Kingston Pike near the mall. That was a long time ago though.

  • I bet you were glad to get home safely yesterday!

  • @LostNawlinsNative

    its getting dark right now just like it is in the video outside of my house
