I was in fear here yesterday,the wind blows thru mountain gaps speeding it up,forget what its called.

I had gusts at fifty with a peak one at 62. One cig by the road and my place would be gone,no way you put out this dry stuff.

I hear Gatlinburg is gone,the aquarium is the sad part or one of the many.

Several 100 building resorts are gone.

Yeah it's good from what I heard. They were worried about the few air breathing animals they had, turtles and penguins, because of the crappy air quality. I heard they had an air filtration system for them so that helped. The manager was on the news and said all the animals were fine.

Saw footage of the fire raging right behind the building. They got lucky.

When in highschool we had a fire a few miles from me in the most remote mountainous area,steep,big pines.

Its called hurricane gap for the winds.

We got in before they closed the area and I've never seen a firestorm till then. It made winds, flames were what I figured to be easily 300 feet tall and racing up the mountain at 50 mph.

I can imagine what it was like there.

First job I applied to after graduating was in Gatlinburg in the beginning of this year. I didn't get the offer, but it would have been my first choice.

Something strikes me as a little odd and sad about that video. Holding up my phone and capturing video would be the last thing on my mind in that situation when my family is in grave danger. I would hope that I could focus every bit of my attention to saving their lives.

It's a primitive response due to the fact that the discovery of fire is by far one of the most significant discoveries in human evolution and that shit is rooted deep inside of us.

That said – when I was in high school we had a wild fire that came through our city. Being on the outskirts of the town my family home was one of the first engulfed. I worked for hours upon hours upon hours getting things out of the house, the neighbors houses, watering everything down, getting animals out the valley, etc. but there were more than one occurrence that we would all be overwhelmed by the oncoming fire and just fall silent and stare at it for a moment... had we had decent cell phones back then I can assure you that we would have snapped photos of it. It's not because "we want to record first, act later" but because such a destructive force demands your attention.

I visited Gatlinburg a couple times the year before last. The National Park is beautiful. Gatlinburg itself is the most kitschy batch of nonsense I've ever seen attached to a National Park.
