Flooding causes extensive damage, five people rescued

COCKE COUNTY — Heavy rains led to flooding throughout portions of Cocke County on Saturday morning with Del Rio suffering major damage. Cocke County Emergency Management Agency (CCEMA) Director Joe Esway said, “I didn’t like what I was seeing but was not expecting a “Helene Level” event. I was both right and wrong. The flooding today was not a county-wide event on a “Helene scale”, but for some of the people of Del Rio, the damage and impact was worse.” “Folks, the heart of Del Rio looks like a bomb was dropped on it,” he added. Cocke County Swift Water Rescue Team, reinforced with Cocke County SWAT and their MRAP, executed the rescue of five citizens from three different locations, Esway explained. There was some severe road damage throughout the Del Rio area. State Route 107 had chunks of asphalt washed out. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) closed one lane of East Highway 25-70 to almost the North Carolina state line because of significant damage to the side of the roadway where it had washed out. Fugate Road from Highway 25-70 to State Route 107 South was impassable and closed. Heartland Ridge Road “looks like the parts of I-40
