gowlerk 2,261 #2 December 1, 2016 Man, that was freaking intense to watch. I had to keep telling myself that they must have got out to post the video. It almost looked like they were ....toast.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channman 2 #3 December 1, 2016 ryoder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGyHu4iX5-Y One thing to see it on the news, but to see it up close like this video and having a sense of the fear on getting out safely make it more personal. Hopefully the rain heading that way will be helpful in getting this fire under control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithbar 1 #4 December 1, 2016 The scale of it is crazy. They are saying at least 10 confirmed dead. With prob. More yet to be found. And something like 700 buildings burned. The tourist dollars are gonna be gone for years to come i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am .

theonlyski 8 #5 December 2, 2016 Fuccccccck... I sure hope they got out, but they did seem to have the survivor mindset. Fuck the truck, fuck everything else, get out of there. The car that was stopped sounded like they had a flat tire? Fuck that too, keep going till the wheels come off, then find another method of transit (ie walk). Sitting in the car with it stopped while the world is burning around you is the last thing you'll ever do."I may be a dirty pirate hooker...but I'm not about to go stand on the corner." iluvtofly DPH -7, TDS 578, Muff 5153, SCR 14890 I'm an asshole, and I approve this message Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #6 December 2, 2016 True survivors would park in a burnt over place and wait for things to cool down. In other news: how is the wind tunnel in Pigeon Forge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #7 December 5, 2016 Interactive map here... http://www.wbir.com/news/local/wildfire/interactive-map-gatlinburg-fire/361114444 Most of Pigeon Forge was spared. The wildfires were licking at the southeast edge of town though. Update: 14 dead so far.
