Per a Knoxville live tv news at 12:00 today there were over 30 structure fires still burning in the Gatlinburg area.

They also showed video taken by an airline pilot flying over the area at 30,000’ that showed the forest still putting out plenty of smoke.

Same here.

Is this serious and real? Or is this a manufactured “crisis” to distract people from what the liberals are doing or to make money for liberal politicians and their cronies?

Prayers for those suffering from drought while at the same time cynicism about motives for covering/not covering it in the media.

The Lord must have loved poor folks,
because he made so many of ‘em.
Don’t take poverty away from poor folks.
Good lord, man, it’s all they have!

Awww. Aren’t the madlibs so tolerant, inclusive and loving? Freakin hypocrites. Wishing that innocent people’s homes get burned down all because they may have voted for a different politican. These people who call us disgusting names and wish tragedy upon us after saying for so long that we are the horrible haters, are showing their true colors.

I don’t guess any of those Yankee faggots care to come on down and “tweet” those comments to our faces.

They only come down south for Walt Disney World's "special" days.

Here in East Alabama, I have not had rain since August 20th!

Finally got 1.48” last night.

Shoveled down in my garden a few minutes down. Dry after about 1 foot deep. We need lot’s more!

It still reeks of smoke outside from all the wild fires. Hopefully, they’re all out.

watch for news of coordinated arson causing the Tennessee fires

I don't know about coordinated but many of the fires the past few weeks have been arson. I've heard of one person being arrested for at least 5 of the fires but never heard his name. They were searching for another guy suspected of starting at least 2 but I never heard any more about him.

They need to take every one of those they catch and just drop them into the middle of the infernos they started. My heart is cold as ice when it comes to people like that.

CNN headquarters are in Atlanta. They’re covering the story. Does anybody really watch the three old network’s news programs?

Here in Johnson City TN (100 miles north of Gatlinburg), we find the best coverage (sometimes the only coverage) is in the Daily Mail (UK)

Howcome the flippin’ Brits can cover it, and the U.S. Mainstream Fake News Media can’t?

What part of East Alabama? I'm five minutes from Phenix City. Last week in Lannett, and the week before in Dothan. I've only lived in Georgia for a couple of years, and I've had reason to see almsot as much of Alabama. Next Alabama trip, EWTN!

They are saying this morning the fire was human caused. Interesting how Haifa was just torched, and other areas in Israel.
