There is a line of rain on the way. That should help some.
This does not look good. I wonder if we’re going to be facing “fire jihad” as the Israelis currently are facing?
I haven’t posted anything in years, so I might not of done this right or in a very good format, but I thought it prudent to get this out to you all. I don’t know if this will end up in breaking news or not, it is ok with me if it doesn’t. This is from channel 4 news in Nashville which I watch all the time for news. If someone can find a better news source of the event, free free to post the news.
Remember all the Cali wildfires a few years back? Many here suspected terrorists.
Just don’t let Dolly’s hair catch on fire!
I live a couple of hours from there. It’s a very beloved place for many. Prayers appreciated.
This was breaking news on WSMV during the news broadcast and they were breaking in occasionally and giving details. At the end of the 30 minute news broadcast, they said Dolly Land was on fire, and some parts of Gatlinburg were on fire, and some tall motel was on fire, I think they said 16 story motel.
It’s already been underway here, for years. Lots of articles:

I am so sorry beautiful Tennessee is in the situation we here in CA always find ourselves. So many healthy trees. So much rain. How??
Oh how awful! I have been to Gatlinburg many times, it is a magical place. Such natural beauty mixed with so much good ol’ hokey Americana, there’s nothing like it.
Sad about Dollywood too. That was one place I was prepared to hate, as a cynical 15 yr old lover of British New Wave, but completely enjoyed to my surprise. I love the old time mountain stuff so much.
Middle Tennessee(Nashville area)got some rain tonight, it wasn’t much but it was sorely needed. The grass in my city(Murfreesboro)has been making that cracking noise as you walk across it. Some one said it was so dry the pricky pears cactus were dieing out in the fields.
This is horrifying... One of my children lives near Huntsville, AL. Tonight they were getting rain for the first time in weeks. I sure hope this system gets to east Tennessee soon.
I live about an hour from the Smokies. This is the first year that the grass has turned brown in my yard, due to the lack of rain. Sevier County is far from the only county in Eastern TN which has been hit.
We got a little rain tonight, but the amount was far too small to help out.
I have been seeing pictures of these fires on FB from people in that area. It is devastating. People are being told to evacuate NOW. They do not want to put the firemen in any more danger. They are asking for prayers for them.
