TVA Update: Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies...

In meetings with the residents of the Swan Pond area, TVA officials assured folks that the air quality was safe. They said the concern would be IF the dust were to become airborne. They quickly followed that statement with assurances that they had experience with suppressing such dust and they were taking care of it.

The following photos were taken from my parent's porch two days ago.

The ash is clearly present and exposed.

If you look back to the cove, that used to be water. But, it isn't anymore.

The photos were taken on February 4 between 10 and 10:30 AM within seconds of each other. It was a clear day. There was no condensation, nor mist rising from the water. The dust swirled around and over the piles of ash before heading directly into my mother's direction.

She quickly went inside.

WATE has an article dated yesterday, February 5th, which features similiar video and still shots. WATE contacted TVA for comment. TVA officials said their crews didn't see anything and, "it must have been fog."
