Just saw that. 14 structures in downtown on fire. They should get some rain in the next few hours.

I drove back from North Carolina today...

Went through Atlanta instead of mountains. Wind was pretty strong by the time I got to Bama State line. If it was that strong further north then it probably spread quickly.

People trapped in a hotel are posting videos to Twitter and the giant fire is literally right outside the windows. I've never seen anything like that before.

Newspaper out of either GA or NC said

Ober Gatilinburg is destroyed. There is fire damage at Dollywood. Some hotels and a lot of cabins are destroyed. Aquarium had to be evacuated with no known status of everything inside.

Damn. Sounds like the place may be turned to ashes.

I've seen conflicting reports on Ober

a lot of folks on twitter saying its fine. Either way, looks like the gates of hell have opened up there. I couldn't imagine the panic in evacuating. On a good day Gatlinburg is tough to get out of.

I was watching the local news there last night and they were on the phone with one of the managers at the aquarium. He felt confident it would be fine. They actually designed everything for disaster scenarios.

Was there three wks ago and of all the years I've been going there I have never seen the streams so dry. Basically a lot of stones showing with very little water.

My mom's timeshare is gone too. Talked to her earlier and she is pretty upset. Her and her sisters go every February.

Note to anyone else in that situation.

Don't head back into the fire. They just kept on going deeper and deeper. They are dang lucky that a burning tree didn't fall on them or their vehicle didn't fail in the middle of that.
