*UPDATE The water shown here has returned to its banks. Water rises and falls in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge quickly. Thanks for watching

[@sarahhare2993]

WOW, Hope no one got hurt In the flood waters. Great shots. Stay safe.

[@BrianMcKnight68]

The Not-So-Little Pigeon River. Stay safe my friends

[@Old_Timer66]

Great job guys! That river was full of hydraulics and keepers. Professional job Eric!! Thanks buddy!

[@diamondbackking4141]

The hydrologic formed behind the mill dam at that flow rate would probably hold down a 6man raft for 4 hours before spitting it out !! My CE engineering hydraulic analysis & white water past experiences...!

[@shanapresley5688]

This happens several times every year. I work right down the road from the old mill.

[@kenniegarner3848]

Yes, it does. Normally, this guy tries to make it out to be biblical.

[@lakeakinz6509]

Yeah....this is probably pretty common

[@shanapresley5688]

I've lived here my whole life. The saying goes if you don't like the weather in TN. Wait 5 minutes, it'll change. This is very common for East TN.

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Never that. If you can cite a time I have feel free to link it in a comment here.

[@bobelot6302]

Thanx for sharing the wonder of nature.

[@gwenratcliffe3815]

Beautiful rainbow 🌈 and blue skies at the conclusion of the video. The entire video was remarkable.

[@kimellis4815]

Man crazy i hope things get back to normal level soon

[@TheKookyKennedys]

Sooooo crazy how we were just there a couple weeks ago. Hope it all goes down quickly

[@mpg314]

Wish I’d been there area was so crowded this past summer

[@billiep4338]

Thanks for sharing ❤🙏🏻❤️

[@donaldlewis567]

What a storm! The wind after the rain was incredible. Thanks for the videos.

[@taradalmatianshaver6828]

[@mommat9085]

[@kayebyrd7783]

Fantastic photos as usual Eric!

[@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK]

Geeeez guys be careful..... Thanx for the update. Still better than snow lol.

[@carmen9377]

We are locals but had a staycation in Gatlinburg one wknd. It came a rain like this, there were snakes galore everywhere you stepped. They get up to high elevations when it floods. So, watch over your head in the trees and your feet at the same time. Just water snakes but be mindful.

[@WilliamLDavis-tm1ct]

SMF! Great video! Eric, your camera and editing skills are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing this and you and your family stay safe, dry and warm!!!

[@carlavision6143]

So glad y'all are okay. Eric, really enjoyed your video! Continued prayers for all. That's a whole lot of water. That picture of the rainbow would make a pretty postcard.

[@sharoncollins7983]

Beautiful rainbow!

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

Amazing shots! Glad to hear the water has receded. My friend lives in Kodak and she was telling me snow was expected for the area. She told me about the high winds - we got a lot of wind today and yesterday, but not like what she was saying.

[@Joe-ww3qv]

Thanks for the river views.

[@legendaryviking281]

Glad nature has finally doing its thing beginning of this year. Without this much water we would be fuck without it.

[@randymillerjrchief381]

Good job on videos, thank you sharing from Southside,Virginia

[@adventuresofscottandmichel9864]

So glad you guys are all ok. This is way better then snow. We got hit with snow here in Chicago pretty bad but not as bad as Wisconsin. 😭 We just love it up there. Thanks for keeping everyone posted. 😊❤

[@stevenlopez2521]

It’s crazy how fast that water starts raging. Like they say down here you hide from wind and run from water.

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

Good morning...Great job as always!!

[@TheNDTShow]

Nice sharing of footage of the flooding going on in the area prayers for the ones involved be careful out and about take care

[@sadiejones7991]

I watched a few videos on this and yours were the best. I hope the trout faired alright

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

Thank you so very much. Here a video we did showing some trout after the storm. kzbin.infoyagvMbyE-HM?si=zzUM6MEhfQ81Kn8O

[@randymillerjrchief381]

Whoa !!! Adapt, improvise and overcome

[@PamSC]

Great flood water videos yesterday & today, Eric! Really appreciate the way you let the Water/Wind do the "talking"! Also like being able to see exact locations where you were filming - Landmarks Matter! I did keep checking the waters to see if Brittany might be doing some Survivor training (fingers crossed for you,, Brittany)!

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

Eric that's alot of water, I wonder what the koa looks like with the work they had been doing for I believe a walk way by the river. Stay Safe from Central Illinois.

[@davidtaylor7486]

Hello, I hope everyone is safe. We live in a small coastal village in Northern California. Last year 2022, winter storms damaged our little pier, taking out a whole section. We were just devastated. Our little village was flooded and along with beaches and seaside homes. In December 2023, we had major flooding all up and down the California coast. ❤Next, I want to says, I love your filming and photography is beautiful. You have a 10 out of 10 ,nod to your perfect lighting, color and exposure. This is the first time I have seen your video. I have alreay watched it twice. Do you teach editing and filming? Wow, I would sihn up for a zoom class with you. Lots of love❤ kindness🙏 & light🌞🌈🩱👓 to you & your family & community from CL By the Seashore👣 & DT Fish Tales 🐟

[@peterp1158]

Nice video. Thanks

[@smoky_mountain_treasure_hunter]

Be careful out there

[@marcboulanger4300]

how long did/does it take on average to go from a tranquil stream to a raging torrent like this? Thanks for sharing Eric, great video

[@FamousFiveAmos]

Not the greenway!!! No running up there today :/ 🏃

[@mattbell3362]

You know all the times I have been there I have never seen detention/retention basins. Does the County have standards or does all that asphalt and concrete just dump straight to the creeks and rivers?

[@charlesrowan4632]

Probably right with new developments going up you have to consider water run off.Also when you take out trees you encourage flooding.

[@Sanity_Faire]

We recently stood right there. I wonder why the wheel wasn’t turning? Maybe they can turn it off.

[@justaguy5770]

I was hoping to see it turning with the water, such a historic building

[@PatriciaEileenGillam5479]

@Sanity_Faire, Probably you right but the mill wheel was very very rarely old fashion way for water level but maybe it was damage of teeth not working for running the around of motion of mill 🛞 of water already notice terminated and rotten not good time yes it was very beautifully historical valves. But it is time for change to set up for a new estimate of dam engineer required control of level waters where comes from oceanic then sea then beach the lake then creek then waterfall and last pond see how was a Natural Mother of Paradise planets creations were wonderful but it was sad. Try to help for bilt for new one so badly needs for grab the Dam engineer required very important to keep run safe for business and tours the adventure journey. Thank you that I notice and capture very old mill wheel already worn out perfect pictures.

[@Sanity_Faire]

You are absolutely right 🥹@@PatriciaEileenGillam5479

[@syrenadurager]

thank the lord above it doesn't seem like to many structures were impacted .🙏

[@davidwayne9982]

GREAT JOB- and THANKS for letting us know-- I'm NOT liking it-- can't-- I've been through that- and can't like seeing this-- but GREAT job - has nothing to do wtih the video itself!!

[@teresacantrell7400]

I pray the water didn’t get the Christmas decorations on Winterfest Wonder lights on the greenway at the Island

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

It did. There’s some shots of it in this video.

[@barbrasnyder8492]

We lived down there for 6 years this never happened

[@dennisjackson6693]

FANTASTIC JOB next time time try and show the campgrounds so we know which sites not to get lol

[@irinabraun6982]

[@robinnelsoncross3632]

This was so sad!!

[@SmokeyMountainDreamer]

Yikes

[@brendaniebel1355]

Kin folk said Jed move away from there 🤠😔

[@brendaniebel1355]

[@davidbell9130]

[@gonehome2]

This is NOT going to end. Consider relocating asap. The sun is causing the earth changes!!

[@SmokyMountainFamily]

The water has already returned to its banks...

[@gonehome2]

The sun is at the end of it's solar cycle. Google the UK right now. There's global flooding. The safest place will eventually be the center of the US, but until people realize what's coming, it will be too late. R u a bible believer?? Prophecy is happening NOW!!@TheDelNoah

[@gonehome2]

I am a activist for geoengineering. This is not going to stop. I've been warning Americans for four years. Also, the sun is at the end of it's solar cycle and heading into solar minimum. We have some earth facing sun spots now. If they erupt, it will send geomagnetic waves which causes the flooding, earthquakes etc. More importantly then that is this: r u a bible believer?? Get your family spiritually prepared asap. End time prophecy is here. My heart is in Gatlinburg and I'm trying to warn your community. Jesus is coming@@SmokyMountainFamily

[@gonehome2]

Please google this channel: Max Velocity. More severe weather is headed right now your direction that will break records. May God be with you all.@@SmokyMountainFamily

If there’s any Florida visitors you could see hundreds bathing in the river asking for a bar of ivory 🧈⛲😆😁
