[@tennesseesmoky9012]

Flash flooding is a serious threat to the safety of the public. Whenever flash flooding occurs, remember “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Whether you’re driving down a flooded roadway or walking down a sidewalk or trail, do not attempt to enter flood waters. The water can be moving much swifter than you can imagine and can powerfully sweep your car off a roadway or your feet out from under you. So thankful that this situation was managed without any serious injuries. Thanks for your reporting.

[@phaedrapage4217]

The other danger of walking through flood water is that it's usually contaminated with sewer water. So think about THAT before entering.

This is crazy. I would think they are a drainage system however that probably got loaded too. I hope Dollywood can recover quickly. Seeing water through the whole park especially the souvenir shop I was in last October is sad. Hope everyone is safe and the recovery of their cars in water can be functioning again. Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching your videos. I visited last year in October for the first time, my parents 2nd time, was had a blast. I'm going again this October solo. I watch your vids to see what attractions I want to do. God bless you and your family. Safety is key.

I remember the blizzard of 93 very well. I live 25 miles north of Knoxville and got stuck in Pigeon Forge for 5 days in 30 inches of snow and they closed the interstate for almost 3 days. When they opened it back up I still couldn’t leave because of the flooding in pigeon Forge. Thankfully I made it back home safely on the 6th day of being stranded on the second floor of the motel.
