Rain needs to get there now. Fire is literally on top of some of the hotels in Gatlinburg. Also almost to Ripley's Museum.

Reading that people are trapped in one of the hotels there. Hotel is on fire in video posted on internet. Hope they get rain tonight.

If structure is already burning, rain won't help much

Picc, you sipping on some moonshine up that way?


I wish! My condition looks down upon drinking, but I only have 4 more months until I can partake in the sauces. :)

Weather has been beautiful-Tennessee is such a beautiful state.

That's the scariest video I've ever watched. Is the hotel literally surrounded?

If so, collect every fire extinguisher in the hotel and get ready to make a path

Ditto. Literally makes me sick to my stomach. Was up in Gatlinburg about a month ago. Hate to see this happening.

That's the Park Vista hotel. Stayed there last year. Great place with a great view of the city. It also happens to sit in the middle of a big hill with one road in and out. That could be serious trouble very soon if the rain doesn't arrive.

To be clear though, he and the other arsonist mentioned in the story are not the ones who set this particular fire.

I'm getting some rain outside of Bryson City. I know they've got to be getting it there by now.

I agree, I don't understand what compels someone to intentionally start a fire. Some people just don't deserve to be alive.
