I mean, the Smokys are getting shorter every year (and it is not JUST because I might pick up a rock or two every time I hike.....) and every house put up there makes it weaker and weaker. Those natural disasters are natural, and we get in the way. I am sorry for those peoples' loss.

As Dustin would say!......Wow! 😮

[@2ubetty]

This mudslude thumbnail us from May 2024. You're title is misleading.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

The video was uploaded just a couple weeks after the storm.

[@Sailor376also]

It IS a complete loss. Where it has happened once, in that ravine, it will happen again. It should never be rebuilt on that location.

[@donnalangston1932]

Don't build on hill or mountain we all know not too

[@carolwilliams9143]

The landslide was due to the fire on Wiley Oakley Road. It was the wildfire of several years ago and people were killed there it was so serious.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

The fire definitely impacted the integrity of the soil in the area.

[@WhittyPics]

Wiley Oakly Drive was also impacted by the wildfires several years ago?

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thats correct. Soil around the area has likely been compromised.

[@leedanielson7452]

Well I finally found something we don't get here in Florida......Landslides...😳

[@ShadieJoan-sk4cr]

Right, but we don't rarely get sinkholes.

[@anncoxwell7015]

Hang on Florida, you may get your turn!

[@leedanielson7452]

@@anncoxwell7015 Right! Nothing would surprise me lol

[@Peachy08]

I don't know what would be worse...sink hole or landslide 😮

[@drivenmad7676]

People shouldn't be building in these areas.

[@mommat9085]

It's amazing how the weather can change in Tennessee summer and winter. But I like my part of Tennessee would not live no where else. Great video Eric . Take care❤beautiful family wowwww

If you build on a mountain, expect slides, fires, etc! FAFO!

God controls it.

[@FamousFiveAmos]

That would have been scary to be in the cabin during the landslide !

[@Sue-zf5uu]

Whoever gave you the idea of racket behind the speaker must really hate you. I'm out. Trying to listen with background noise is not worth the headache it gives me.

[@fifipfeffer8552]

What do the idiots expect when they’re building literally on the sides of unstable mountain because they’ve made it unstable by all their buildings. They know where they live. They know what chance they take. I do not feel sorry for them.

[@oneFreetinker]

Our mountains were meant to be majestic and unspoiled. The interlopers that have ruined it will suffer.

[@thomaskasperek8154]

After living there 10 years and goong thru all of that including the fires....ya can keep it.

[@Northerncalwolf]

In Seattle, that's called "November". Someday I want to get out there for a vacation.

[@cherylmikell899]

You guys are AWESOME!!!

[@aliannarodriguez1581]

What horrified me about these images was not the landslide itself, but a landscape completely choked in invasive vines!! What idiot planted English Ivy in the priceless native landscape of the Smoky Mountains? And I think I saw Oriental Bittersweet as well. Those vines alone are as destructive as any wildfire, and you can see they’ve covered and killed the trees and even most of the shrubs on this slope. What happens when the tree roots stabilizing a steep slope die and rot--oh yes, the soil lets go! The owners of these rentals have done this to themselves by letting these vines take hold, and you can be sure they are rapidly spreading to other properties and the park itself. Tennessee needs to get on top of this kind of invasion, or it’s going to lose everything that brings people to the Smokies. These plants will absolutely destroy the forests there, believe me, it’s already happening in a lot of places. I’m sure the Park Service is well aware and sounding the alarm , but is the state government listening?

[@HomeOnMerryRidge]

I find that Gatlinburg and pigeon forge are very greedy I mean how many whiskey joints and putt putt courses do you need. I visited 50 years every summer but I find it way too crowded and expensive. Who wants to spend the whole vacation in traffic. I now travel to other less popular states where nature abounds without seeing roof tops littered on the mountain side.

[@MrJrsdts]

It looks like the home is built in the ditch anyway!!!! What do you expect???

[@DallasHerring1]

I am really missing the food reviews. Did something happen to make you decide not to do those anymore? Love you guys.

[@hertzer2000]

Who builds a giant house in a creek...with a hill of clay and sand behind it?

[@MadelineRose-ep7fj]

Great information. Would be good for PNW. 😊

[@midnitenoon]

property? there is no property left, hope it was empty when this happened. how terrifying

[@carolynshealy5536]

Wow that is scary!

[@williamkennedy1149]

We live in northern Illinois and own a cabin in Gatlinburg. We come to Gatlinburg for the mild weather. We always comment on how calm the wind is compaired to where we live. The ice and snow last one or two days then its 60. We are coming back this week because its 97 here and only 91 in Tenn.

[@carlavision6143]

Eric, really enjoyed your video! Hope those home owners can get their home put back together.

[@villagaiac55]

and the Boogeyman!!

[@ЕленаЧерноиван-я8ц]

Thank you! It’s a great report. It’s also good they can sometimes notify us of emergency events. But honestly, is this going to help us, as all sorts of disasters will intensify, as they are doing worldwide? It’s time we start thinking of and discussing true solutions to mitigate these events, before it’s too late. I found this documentary very very helpful: “Water from the air. The path to saving humanity “. Let’s share solutions as well as stories. Thank you!

[@sillyasiwannabe1222]

HELLO FROM MONTANA 😂😂😂

[@karenwright9123]

This earth is a changing place always something shifting,moving,flowing ,shaking and the weather well,it's all part of nature. It certainly doesn't always present us humans with the best of conditions. We have had some disruptive events in Ky.too,we had flooding and tornadoes,wind damage. I always hate to see the beautiful trees destroyed. Early warnings do save lives. Y'all be safe down there. We vacationed in Tennessee many times the Smokie's are gorgeous.😊
