Good Morning All....
Just finished watching the latest press conference. There will be another at 4:00PM.
Again....lots of good information can be viewed on WBIR.com. This is the site I go to watch for updates.
The roads remained closed into Gatlinburg. Folks are working hard to get them open, but due to the danger they remain closed to the public.
Find below a list of structures affected by the wildfires.
Please continue to pray for our mountain home/s and for all the souls who have lost so much.
Here is a list of structures and areas affected by the Gatlinburg wildfires. The list is in alphabetical order. We will continue to keep this updated as we find out more, and keep in mind that information is constantly changing as more assessments are made.
