Reports are 1/3 of downtown is damaged or gone. Hundreds of homes and other business gone. Massive destruction. Might have been arson.

Ober Gatlinburg is reportedly gone. Went there 2x, but both times did not get the chance to go up to Ober.

:( :( :(

And now, time to take a quick guess ... scene from Gatlinburg or Lord of the Rings?

That place sucked. If the fire was caused by arson, which MANY are saying, I would look at the owners of that place first. Ober Gatlingburg looked like it was built in the 1950's and I don't think they have updated a single thing since that time. The owners were probably broke because the place looked very run down. When the aerial tram got to the top of the mountain, I felt like I was stepping out into a timewarp.

I was also there over the summer. We went to Ober, wasn't impressed.

But they released video that the place wasn't destroyed. It's still there.

These are MANY of the same climate change deniers living through a drought, but not recognizing it, even while smugly laughing at southern California's continuing issues, or arguing against unpaid relief after Hurricane Sandy.

They oddly are not too sanctimonious now, but I am sure they will be after they get aid.

Don't worry Trump will be there soon with loads of Play Doh to "hep" the folks of Pigeon Forge, Knobbly Cobbler and the other locales.

Michigan got its share and still turned its back on the Democrats
