REPORTED FROM WMCT:

 

It is expected that the Trade Post Office will remain closed as there is no way for a mail truck to access it. The routes to get there take at least an hour each way. WMCT reports that a mobile unit is on its way which will be set up in the Mountain City Post Office parking lot. PO Box mail already in Trade will be brought down by a supervisor. Delivery routes will continue to run out of Elizabethton to as many addresses as possible. Please check back for updates.​
