so many memories...I was just remembering a hiking trip there in my youth a couple of days ago....Gatlinburg was not what I would call a city then...not by a long shot. I don't recall a wildfire ever like this...but I have had a dream of such before. reminds me of a song by the Marshall Tucker Band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVZtf1oJLK8 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'It's the apocalypse': Burned out remains of Gatlinburg after thousands flee resort Tennessee towns as massive wildfire destroys homes and hotels and threatens Dollywood More than 14,000 people have been forced to evacuate from resort towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Roughly 400 homes and structures were damaged, as there's 'little hope' for relief anytime soon Four people suffered severe burns trying to evacuate and are hospitalized as no deaths have been reported Westgate Resorts, a 16-story hotel and every cabin at Black Bear Falls is believed to have been destroyed Schools in Green, McMinn and Sevier counties will are closed, and more than 12,000 people in Sevier County were without power as of early Tuesday morning Dollywood was evacuated and tourists fled the area as wildfires ripped through Eastern Tennessee Monday In a statement, Dolly Parton said: 'I am praying for all the families affected by the fire and the firefighters who are working so hard to keep everyone safe' Terrifying video shot from the Gatlinburg Park Vista Hilton Hotel shows flames just outside the windows (story continues at link provided) Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article- 3980932/Gaitlinburg-burns-Wildfire-sweeps-Tennessee-resort-town- population-4-000-s-Dollywood-residents- evacuate.html#ixzz4RQtirvGm Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook |

Glad to hear they were able to put that fire out and with the help of a little bit of rain- a shame- but with all those homes so close into the forest, well, not a good or safe way to live. what is a miracle is it has escaped more fires than it has had. |
