Here's a pic of the damage to one of my favorite riding areas; Start of Cherohala Skyway near Tellico Plains, Tn

and this is from the Motorcycle Tourers Forum posted by Don Norwood;
In a message from Mike at Tellico Outfitters.... they are OK....the town had a direct hit...Weather Channel has some footage...
Mike said that they are OK, the town has many building destroyed....streets are blocked. limited power and phone service... they are helping friends and neighbors for next days clearing roads and getting supplies to folks....
He will try to re-open in a week or so...
For those that don't know, Tellico Outfitters rents KLR's & offers guided tours in the area.
