I live about 20 mins from wears valley. Smoke is thick even here. They aren't going to be able to do anything with it on the terrain it is going over I wouldn't think. That is mainly resorts and cabins with roads that don't get really to much else.

Yeah just read it’s 0% contained and the rain isn’t going to be heavy enough to put out the fire. Sucks big time for that area.

The workers in downtown Gatlinburg were freaking out. One guy in tears said his house had just been finished and settled last August after losing everything in 2016.
