Okay Channel 5 seems to be incorrect, Ober Gatlinburg was not destroyed, though there is a lot of destruction at least reports that it was destroyed are incorrect. Wildlife seems to be well as well there. That's what WBIR are reporting.

I've seen a lot more and yeah they should have left sooner. I've looked at several more videos and watching WBIR coverage right now. In total they've lost hundreds of structures from what the news is reporting this morning.

They did get the fire crew out that was trapped in Park Vista late last night I do know they managed to rescue them.

Did you see the videos from people inside one of the hotels and flames raging right outside? I think it was the park vista. They really screwed up not trying to evacuate sooner. There's only one road in and out of there

Latest Update, much worse than I'd heard a few hours ago

We dodged a bullet here in this county, based on what's going on over there.

They've lost over 30 structures and had to mandatory evacuate Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We should give credit where it was due for the job our firefighters did just over the last 10 days. Thankful for the rain as well.
