Tennessee on fire. Resort town of Gatlinburg
#5
Thank you Frankie that does mean a lot. That town and county relies on tourism to survive. Gatlinburg population is around 5,000 yet on any given day they are at least 30,000 in the town. The Great Smoky Mountains is the number 1 visited national park in America so not only have people lost homes, businesses but also they will take a huge hit at least for a while in tourist dollars which is something need to help rebuild. The truly sad part is all that can and will be replaced and the tourism will pick up but the loss of life, family members can never be replaced. So many stories are coming out. A family of five from Memphis celebrating their twins birthday, the three adult children are in Nashville in the burn center the parents were found dead two or three days later. The family that lived in the mountain over gatlinburg the father and son drove down to the Main Street to see how bad it was and if they were in danger, they were forced out and the mother and two daughter all died. Just a couple of the many stories being told. The FBI had a hotline to report missing people from that area on Wednesday they had a count of 300. The fear right now is they said parts of the fire could have been as hot as 2000 degrees or hotter which could literally cremate a live body within seconds. Like Frankie and John Boy said prayers are greatly needed.
