    I lost everything.
    Everything from all my life to this point besides whats in my truck is now ash.
    All the homes on my road were decimated.

    My roommate was doing laundry when his coworker was driving on the road connecting Gatlinburg to Pigeon Forge saw our hill engulfed in flames. She called my roommate and said you need to gtfo.
    At that point he looked outside the fireline was maybe 30 feet from our driveway.
    Left immediately and was honking and yelling for everybody to gtfo.
    From that point within 10 minutes all the houses on my driveway/hill were on fire.

    Spoke with the Red Cross today and they said only 30% of the area has been searches through so far. Gatlinburg is still pretty much shut down.
    10 confirmed deaths so far but that will go up. Many missing people. Kids with missing parents and everything.
    It's terrible, here's one such article:

    The massive wind pushed the fire and embers soo quickly as is why I think it was soo devastating.
    Yeah ummm :biggrin_25513::crybaby:
     
    redoctober83, Fajo, mxpx148 and 4 others Thank this.

    I keep seeing the same reports of how people had zero idea about it. I never even heard of it until it was there. I'm so sorry, buddy. But I'm glad you werent hurt (I know you werent there, but if you had been)
     
    xlsdraw and freightwipper Thank this.

    I am glad that your roommate was able to get out just in time, and that the loss was material things.
