A train derailed near Sweetwater this morning around 3 AM. Here in Monroe County, a lot of people live close to the railroad, so whenever something like this happens, its a big mess. Quite a few people had to be evacuated to Sweetwater High School and they may not go back home till tommorrow, depending on if they get the mess cleaned up in time. For additional info:

Update: WVLT used Google Maps to show where the wreck occurred during their coverage of the wreck. Really neat, I think. (I live close to the area but wasn't evacuated since I'm only about 5 miles or so away from the area)
