Such a sad situation. They're under mandatory evacuations. This is right where we were for the XI Fest last month.

This makes me so sad.  I vacation there every other year...absolutely love the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg.

Heard this morning that the entire community of Black Bear Falls, where we normally stay....has been destroyed.....   :cry:

Smoke's blowing northeast right over us; we're just 100 miles away. Hope the rain knocks down most of this and it doesn't become the tremendous disaster that seems to be looming. If it takes all of Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Dollywood, the loss will be in the tens of billions of dollars, sufficient to negatively impact the national economy.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2016/11/29/tennessee-wildfires-gatlinburg/94591254/ has a video of someone trapped in it driving out.

 

It's crazy, at this point now it looks like everything is a total loss. The entire place is nearly gone!

 

But I'm glad I got to see it at least with some fellow idiots before it is changed forever.

Shame to see this happen, hope they can pickup the pieces and rebuild.

@Go0fLo0p brought some very nice Cubans which he graciously shared.

 

 

I brought a box of cheap Dominican Arturo Fuente's to pass around.

Had vacation planned to go there next year.  Spent every summer in Tennessee growing up.  Definitely sucks to see this happened.  Just glad they caught the assholes that started the fire.  Now, I hope they burn in hell for the lives they took!

Did they catch them? I only saw that someone had been caught that started different fires in a different place earlier in the month but no mention to these ones of anyone being caught. They seem unsure if it was arson vs. accidental even at this point.

 

Here is what I found for the one guy: http://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/2016/11/11/burning-banned-wildfires-continue/93643598/ but those aren't the same fires.
