Smoky mountain fire

Seeing reports on the web and speaking with my sister Gatlinburg is being evacuated along with part of Pigeon Forge

radar is showing rain now in the area. We need it really bad all over the area. Fires have been burning for a month now.

The winds are awful ahead of a front that is bringing rain.... just hope the rain doesn't fizzle out before east TN gets a good soaking.

You certainly can see this in a WEBCAM for Gatlinburg, TN

Gatlinburg Space Needle WEBCAM

Have seen the town fill up with smoke from forest fires in the past a few times..
