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

Kinda cool now watching the snowflakes fall from our balcony at the margaritaville resort. Enjoying our 19th wedding anniversary thanks for giving us all the information we needed for a perfect trip. Other than the fact all the restaurants you recommended had to close for the weather which I understood but kinda sucked because I was looking forward to a good steak

We lived on Hemlock, in an apartment that is now condos, was built in the 50s, made of cinderblock... It was the very last building before the curve where the Spur starts, was behind Cooters when it was still there. We were the lowest point in Gburg, so we got evacuated a couple of times because of rain. I was on the 2nd floor so we weren't worried about our apartment flooding, but those below us?? Sheesh

[@dwayneroberts6616]

We stayed in Gatlinburg a few year back and a hurricane came up the coast and inland. There was a creek that ran along the mountain road near our cabin. By the time we packed up and left the creek was raging and becoming a river. You would think that because your in the mountains it couldn't flood there but that's not at all the case. I love Gatlinburg and the people of Tennessee I hope they are all safe and don't lose anything from this storm. God bless you Tennessee ❤.

[@kevinstenger4334]

Walling in a river, building right on the riverbank, and building low bridges over them is a recipe for disaster and when you do it at the base of a mountain its insane to expect anything other than destruction.
