re: UPDATE: Found Dead A father’s desperate search for family after TN wildfires

I have read conflicting stories. The one posted here, and another that said him and his boy were downtown. I took it as random errands, etc. He called and told them they couldn't get back up the mountain.

That's what I'm saying. I don't understand it and frankly it pisses me off. Nothing wrong with him running errands unless he knew there was an evacuation order and then this is on him, but I'm not saying that.

But there's no way you go into "traffic" in gatlinburg and past a police roadblock and not freaking know what's going on. If anything you pull up to the roadblock, figure out whats going on and then turn around to get your family.

I really feel for the guy, but I don't think it went down as the news has made it seem for this guy. He either screwed up or he ran errands or to do something with his son and simply just didn't know.
