When I was working in the woods in OR and CA, I worked on a couple of fires. Them damn things can be scary as hell. One fire jumped over a canyon to the other hillside, one minute it was topping over a ridge, the next it was starting up the hillside that was over a mile away.

These guys were lucky, hope all of the others made it out.

I think some cabin owners are thinking should I sell or stay.
Wonder if some in small car could have plowed through those tree tops.
If I was the driver I might have stopped and said you drive, I will hold the
camera and yell at you.

My cabin in the woods in the Ozarks, my neighbor wanted to burn his field.
It got away from him and burned 3 acres of my place.
It did not get close to my cabin. He came over and said he was sorry.
I was not there when it happened. I did not make a big deal of it. It
just happened.

Cabins in the woods are very cool places to live. But this shows what can happen.
Fire Dept. was helpless in this.

I vacationed in Gatlinburg this past July. My daughter and I rented a nice cabin in Gatlinburg. I spent 5 days gallivanting around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with my wife and daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids. Sad to think about everything getting burned up. It's such a nice place to visit and have fun. The go-cart rental tracks in Pigeon Forge are a blast.

We did ride motorcycles down every year to the big Shades of the past car show.Lots of times had to pull the old Harleys over so they would not over heat.
All so took wife and kid often.A really big water slide was fun.Fun place.Way back then DollyWood was Silver Dollar City.Its train ride was one of the best park ones around.Feel real sorry for them.Circle of Love TV movie may have helped raise a little more for them?

"...people are actually out there laughing about Trump supporters’ houses burning down in the Tennessee fires, and even star Michael Ian Black is making glib, dickish jokes about it."

"This whole situation makes me hang my head. The country is obviously way past the scary point when people can be this openly disgusting to each other over something like an election! Wishing people’s houses would burn? Wishing their lives would be destroyed? Or that they would die?!
Over Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton?!?!
What in the hell has happened to people???
We need to step back and ask ourselves when, as a society, did this kind of depraved behavior become the norm?"

it became the norm when billy got away with screwing around with a subordinate, and he got a pass from the senate.
