Gatlinburg on Fire

[Perrin75]

I found this update online from WBIR. It lists the current state of what has been damaged and destroyed. Hopefully it will be updated as they release more information.

Was just up in the foothills off Dolly Parton parkway 3 weeks ago. Sad to see all this.

If Dolly's hills are down to her foot, then it truly is a sad day.

This is a nightmare. Do I want to go to some new, shiny Ripleys Believe it or Not museum? With new facts and crazy stories? No, I do not. I want to go to the same Ripleys Believe it or Not museum where I always question myself "Haven't I been here before?" and then I realize "Yes! I have seen that shrunken head before". That's G-Burg right there.

I'm pretty sure Ripleys already burnt down once before when I was a kid.

Yup. Rebel square. Summer of 1992.

I'll choose whether I believe that...or not

Damn. I stayed there for a wedding last year. Watched the tournament game against Cincinnati in the bar there.

I've been to Gatlinburg a few times.

Anyone know if the Sky Lift in Gatlinburg is still standing? Always loved that as a kid.

 

[Atrain7732]

I swear to god he does.

Signed in solely to tell you this-------------Well Done, Sir!!!

Carry on

 

[CatsFan4Evr]

I don't think anything is gonna burn down those concrete pillars or steel cables.

Right, but it's fairly useless without the two terminal buildings at both ends.

Sounds like free Skylift rides to me.

Yep, it's fine. The new scenery kinda sucks though.

If Gatlinburg is not currently on fire, we should change the title of the thread, IMO.

Death toll at 7 and people are making fun of it. You must be a stellar individual.

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

I get that but some of it this out of line. Just my two cents though.
