My husband and I lived in Pigeon Forge for 5 years. I miss it terribly. I miss hearing the Dollywood train. I worked at that Walmart and loved it. To see what the the fire did and now floods, hurts a lot. I have such special memories of the people there. I felt safe there.

[@chareehatch7751]

Made me feel like i was standing right there. Even made me have motion sickness. One of the best flooding videos i have ever seen. Very very nice.

[@SYRSALLY]

Prayers for Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@dynjarren5454]

Welcome to the east TN Smokies folks...get used to it lol

[@ILGuy2012]

Thanks for making the video. I rarely watch TV anymore, so it's nice to see someone from the area showing us what's going on with the flooding.

[@victoriamcdonald1451]

Floods like this are happening in small cities and towns all over the earth and earthquakes more frequently. The mainstrem media doesnt report. Thanks for sharing. God bless yall

[@johncole6536]

Victoria McDonald but they said that to noah.laughed at him

[@1OFGODSOWN]

Victoria McDonald if you have never been there this is far from Severe Flooding.The River is only normally just a few feet from the bottom of those steps that were shown.I have been there many many times.

[@angeladobbs1991]

Looks pretty peaceful. Hallelujah Father

[@AmericanPatriot-bp7cu]

I traveled US 321 from Newport to almost Townsend on 02/06/20 and couldn't believe the flooding. A tree fell into a transformer and closed my road, so I turned around and thought I was stuck because of mudslides where I was previously. LUCKILY, I found the Foothills Parkway entrance much to my good luck and it brought me out between Townsend and Maryville where I wanted to go anyway. God Bless the Parkway.

[@ready2cworld997]

praying for all . We visited in July and loved the area, cant wait to go back.

[@goldrushjunkie4028]

Wow the rain really needs to stop. Be safe everyone.

[@alishalester170]

Wow. Just wow. I lived Maryville Tennessee for 12 years. Now I live in San Antonio Texas. But the whole 12 years I lived there. My family & I never seen these flood waters like this. But I'm praying for Tennessee.

WOW, The power of the river is amazing. Unfortunately, it will take a while to recover and clean up after the water recedes. Yall stay safe!!!!

[@Julzyboo]

Stay safe n dry ! You could tell you're in awe because you couldn't finish sentences at times. There's just no words really! ❤from Johnson city!

[@kisawulf3768]

My goodness me and my hubby were there two weeks ago. My prayers to all the family's. Stay safe god bless!!!

[@barbaram8470]

Wow ! That's really bad. Stay safe out there. Prayers for those affected by this.

[@Crappie4ever]

We were there just the week before for our annual honeymoon. Thanks for the video, we recognize so many places. Love this area and the people there!

[@charlesclemens4004]

Thanks for sharing your little travelogue, Yankee. My wife and I live in Sevierville and frequently walk our dogs on that submerged sidewalk next to the Event Center and the Island. That was some storm! I had to go to see my doctor that morning and the flooding made it impossible for me to get home for several hours. We've never seen anything like this and you got to "enjoy" a historical storm. We're retirees from Michigan and have stayed in Gatlinburg in one of those riverside motels you filmed.

[@jonathancripe5776]

This is the last thing they needed after the fire that got rid of so much foliage that held the soil in. Hoping there isn't much erosion in the mountain areas.

[@pammiedoodle8693]

That is just crazy! We love Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg and this is so sad😢

Praying for the family of the lady in Sevier county who died due to a tree falling on the bus 🙏 🙏

God Bless Oh My Lived this a few years ago in Texas New Home Now Outta Flood Plain Lived there 27 yrs Much sorrow involving Loosing Everything. I Am Praying For EVERYONE FOR NOW ANY MANY DAYS TO COME PRAYING 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💗💗💗💗💗

[@hiseagle]

I'm speechless. I currently live in Oxford, Ohio - but I have Cherokee blood in me through my great-grandfather, so places like Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are my home in spirit. It saddens me deeply to see this. It tore me apart to see the fire several years back. I want to come home. I hope all down there will please stay safe.

[@claytemorgan1923]

That is some seriously turbulent water behind Econo-Lodge and Rocky Waters! Fantastic footage! 🙌

[@katyroberts5251]

I’m in Pigeon Forge right now and from what I see, it’s looks like it’s calm. Seeing Gatlinburg tomorrow. Love this place!!!

Me, my wife, and another couple with their babies (3 and 5) we're actually on our way to Sevierville on 2/6/19 and ran into all this rain and got a call from the resort and they advised us about the flooding. I'm so glad we decided not to press on through the rains and tornadoes. WE WILL BE RETURNING IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

Very interesting but also very scary! It really shows the power of heavy rainfall and its results. Thanks for posting!

Hello from fellow KZbinr, Onni The Baby Cockatoo in Chattanooga! Thank you SO much for these flooding vids. Now people can see that when TN floods, it means business. Roaring waters, not stand still stuff you can float in on a canoe.

[@lesliejames6870]

I tell you 2020 has really sucked for the country.. 2021 has got to get better. We have had floods , hurricanes, wild fires, the virus ect......enough!!!!

[@raplottrpj]

WoW! I was down there for the 1st time in early December and really loved it down there! Prayers from Ohio!

[@bkhott08]

Yall Stay Safe. Hopefully the rain will slack off.

[@evelyndaly29]

Wow, fantastic reporting. Haven't heard a peep about this where I am. Thank you.

[@turdferguson353]

Neither have I!! We were looking to rent a cabin in pigeon forge for a week in June...no idea this was going on

[@wandatreece3419]

I don't remember this and I live in Tennessee.

[@garyharman8600]

Wow, y'all have gotten the rain, in October we were there and y'all needed some rain desperately, rivers were barely flowing, and everything was dry, hate to see that much rain though, y'all be safe

[@petermuise4927]

That's normal here. The creek in front of my house usually goes dry by the end of summer, then the floods start in winter.

[@garyharman8600]

@@petermuise4927 gotcha..we live in Texas (southeast) and this is our wet season as well..summer dry and hot but never know, we got 10 inches rain one day last summer, it was crazy...

[@sissylynn9566]

We stayed at Clabough's in October. It is so sad seeing it like this. Prayers for everyone.

[@skipdeere8787]

We had a wet three days there but still enjoyed the area, hope to be back in the future. Flooding put a big damper on checking out the Smokeys. We checked out the Gatlinburg river right where you did.

[@pattyg4421]

Prayers from Texas. We know what you are going through. Harvey paralyzed us for a long time. Hope this doesn’t happen to Tennessee. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@SledgeHammer43]

Crest. When flood water hits its maximum height then levels start to fall.

[@christineschwartz8269]

Wow,, now thats a side of the smokies we haven't seen before.... Yes, water can be so powerful.. it has no conscience,, it will grab anything in its path and wash it away if its not fastened down pretty good,.... hope you will all stay safe,,, 🏞

Ignorant indoctrinated sheeple when are gonna wake up and believe the truth they control the weather and manipulate the weather with chemtrail spraying and HAARP programs and other evil and wicked agendas on yahuahs flat earth unbelievable but so true WOW

[@petermuise4927]

I live near there and can attest that yes, floodwaters can move whole trees, but can't wash away dog turds.

This is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

Love that area. Beautiful country.

[@theresabeck582]

All i can say is wow!

[@LifeLoveandAvocados]

Omg, thanks for keeping us updated, it is so helpful. We are in FL, but own a couple cabins there so are always interested in what the weather is doing. That is some serious flooding. Prayers that everyone stays safe.

[@truckerbug4507]

Thank You for the video. I have never seen it that bad. We live in middle Tn and love going there for the weekend a few times a year. Hope there was no major damage. Hope everyone stayed safe during all the flooding.

[@debbyr5707]

I love Pigon Forge, that's a trip, that is crazy, WOW

[@MrDennyblack]

Great job,your providing a good service with all these flooding updates Thank You.

[@MrSteelerboy1]

Great video. This is only the nascent stages. The ice is melting ever faster, the storms will be more intense and frequent.

[@rickdellsimoneaux4681]

Thank you Will and Dawn for showing us the video of Claboughs campground .

[@lesliejames6870]

We use to stay at Rocky Waters .. the sweet little Pegion River wasn't so sweet. Amazing how destructive water can get. Just like here when a hurricane comes thru...

My husband and i was in Tennessee in Pegion Fordge Gatlinburg area for our honemoon in 2014. We are hoping to return soon. I loved it so much down there i did not want to come back to west virginia.

[@A_Bvgzi]

That is exactly why the mill was built with those pillars

[@nancysmith2295]

Floods always amaze me. Here in California I've been in Sacramento, the capitol, when it floods. High water cresting reminds me of the power of mother nature. In a spot by the river in Sacramento they have huge metal gates to close where the river rises at a low spot. It's sad in a way because there is a small trailer park there. Army National Guard is activated when it's huge. My ex-husband worked several floods in the ARNG.

[@deltonadoug]

Wow. That's amazing. I especially like the shots where you are zoomed out enough to provide points of reference. Thanks for taking the time to go out and do this.

[@JustOutnAbout]

Wow.. powerful stuff!!! Thanks for keeping us updated.. And y'all stay safe! ~Dawn

[@brianswezey724]

All I'm gonna say is ....man builds where he shouldn't. I've lived in Florida for 30 years and have been lucky to escape the wrath of hurricanes. The safest place I lived was up north when a big snowstorm was the worst thing that could happen.

[@NJAceSgt]

Wow. Me and my wife were just there over a week ago on our honeymoon. We stayed in a cabin up in the mountains in Pigeon Forge. We had a great time! Hope everyone is ok and that the floods have gone away.

[@cindyellis765]

This is the. That river is usually very low and calm. Such aa beautiful place one of our favorites. It was bad enough with the fires a couple of years ago, now this flood.

[@usglevel2896]

wow! That's incredible! Thanks for sharing and keeping us updated. Love you guys!

[@vickireynolds4055]

I have stayed several times at Rocky Waters, and a few other places in Gatlinburg, but my go to place was the now gone Twin Islands. One night, I went to bed to a light rain, awaken by thunder storm and watched water rise VERY quickly to near top of retaining wall!! Nothing like a thunder storm in the Smoky's!! The Mountains are calling! This Covid thing has done a number! It's time!🏔🎡🌌🐕🐾🐾😂👵
