Dear bbfreeburn:Strange thing, AW, but I've seen it on cable news. You must have a faulty cable connection.
Dear Djarum300:I've visited several times. Done many day hikes around the area. Gatlinburg and pigeon forge are a little touristy. But the smoky mountains are great.
This actually started yesterday and got worse last night. I flipped between CNN and fox for over an hour late last night and I saw nothing. Evacuations were already going on and structures had already caught fire. Sadly social media was keeping me informed.
