Smoky Mountain Home
Our beautiful Mountain Home in the Smoky Mountains Area of Gatlinburg, Cobbly Nob, Pigeon Forge, and Wears Valley in Sevier County, Tennessee, suffered a great loss on Monday, November 28, 2016.
The Chimney Tops 2 Wildfires reported on Wednesday November 23rd, were fueled by 80 plus mile per hour winds, causing a Firestorm to sweep through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park into the towns nestled in the foothills below. Over 14, 000 residents and visitors were evacuated, more than 2400 structures were damaged or destroyed, 17 thousand plus acres was burned, and at least 14 lives were lost.
Severe drought conditions, along with high winds, converged to create the largest wildfire in over 100 years, the likes of which our community has never seen. This is dedicated to the members of the Smoky Mountain Community, far and wide, who have been affected by this event.
We are "Mountain Tough and have a strong Faith in God." (As stated by Gatlinburg Mayor Mike Werner and quickly adopted by locals as a battle cry! #mountaintough)
