Sending love and prayers to all in danger and dealing with fires. You're all in my thoughts.

The videos and pictures of Gatlinburg horrify me. Such a beautiful place. It will take awhile to recover. We were planning to go soon...not sure what will be left.

So sad! I have friends that work in one of the restaurants there and have for years......this is affecting lots of people in many different ways....I am many miles from there but have been texting with them today! They are all physically fine but devastated.

I am so sorry! And the fact it was arson doesn't help. At least they are getting rain today.

We had a similar situation up here in Canada this past summer. Thousands evacuated from a town in Alberta. So so scary

Sending prayers to all and praying for rain!

Oh we are getting rain alright... too much with the wind (2 tornado warnings woke me middle of the night); there's numerous other fires in the area that needed to be put out too, they didn't cause as much damage, but the air quality was hell all month. Until about Noon it was still thundering, now it's just rain. They have been worried that a lightening strike could start more fires because the ground has been so dry for so long
