Older folks here in East TN are saying that the rivers are as low as they have ever seen...the local ‘joke’ is that the air has been so smoky lately that residents would be able to smoke their turkeys this year by leaving them out on the porch.
Several years ago we had a drought here in Texas. We got zero rain for a whole year...NOT exaggerating. There were so many wildfires and fear of the next one to come. I saw one up close and it was moving so fast...it was very frightening. It went right past the airport and nearly made it into the city.
I hope and pray that those thee are out soon..before any more land is eaten up by them or people and animals hurt or killed!
Watching the Dollywood Eagle Cam. Just heard sirens in the distance. The grounds aren't far from the fires. But the rain is really coming down now, thank God!
