That’s actually how I found out about these fires. A local TV station posted an article too, minutes later, but missed it on their 10 pm newscast, I believe. (We are in the “mid-south”.) UK Daily Mail had a huge article early the (our) next morning.
RT is behind the curve on this one.
What good is FR's search feature if it doesn't find ?
Maybe I just don't know how to use it.
I punched in "Gatlinburg" and it came back with zero results
