As we take a drive through pigeon forge tennessee we check for any pigeon forge flooding and see how the pigeon forge crowds are. We then drive into Gatlinburg Tennessee to see how bad the Gatlinburg flooding is and see the Gatlinburg crowd levels after hurricane helene. Thankfully there was not too smoky mountain flooding and most of the major roads were able to remain open. We also check out the Dollywood crowds and hopefully give you peace of mind about your upcoming visit!
Thankfully there wasn't greater Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg flooding! Here is the latest update video ► ua-cam.com/video/oVYlgckBvsU/v-deo.html
Thanks Ryan for getting out to report on conditions there. I'm not that far from you and we have Flood and Wind advisories until 8 am Saturday. Rain through Monday. Be safe
The Virginia state police helicopter rescued around 50 people from the roof of the Unicoi county hospital in Tn. earlier.
Thanks for sharing
I love going to the mountains, but I stay away from the tourist traps of Pigeon Forge, Gatalinburg, and Cherokee.
Thank you so much for your video update. We are traveling to the Smokies in your area to camp in a few weeks! Now we have peace of mind!
Im in Georgia and my heart goes out to all of our southern neighbors. It is absolutely incredible how that one storm dumped so much rain on multiple states. GA, FL, TN, NC, SC, and now VA. We are all going thru it. Prayers my friends
Ashville NC is bad we've had alota rain this month it wasn't just the storms fault
We were hit pretty hard in southern Ohio as well it has not stopped raining for almost the last 36 hours the winds were insane blew my porch roof off, trampolines, trees, and debris all over the place with flash flooding everywhere
People cought in their crossfire
West Virginia, and Ohio got hit pretty hard too. I'm in Southern Ohio. I've never seen anything like that storm.
@@michelewalburn4376 yeah it was bad in alota places. I'm in East NC wasn't bad at all here but Floyd got us in 2004 worst than this. Tar river raised over 30ft. The water was over the stoplight in my town.
Thank you for letting us see AND HEAR the roaring of the water. Too many ruin their videos with music trying to be a Stephen Spielburg.
First responders are worth their weight in gold. Thank you so much for your bravery and commitment to saving lives.
It flooded here where I live. It was bad for a while. We are between a lake and a creek and they just coukd not handle all the rain. But I give God the thanks for keep us all safe here.
Glad you are ok Sandi!
Praise Jesus!
Amen 💙🙏💛
The God that sent you the storm? Good luck.
Praying for everyone affected by hurricane Helene. My heart is with you all!
As a Floridian who just had to deal with Helene, it's crazy to see how it's affecting Pigeon Forge. And that I'll be there in a couple of weeks for vacation.
As a former Floridian that moved up here 7 years ago, this is the 1st hurricane I thought could actually really be a major issue besides just some wind/rain. Thankfully it wasn't worse for areas covered in this video. Neighboring Newport, TN is unfortunately having some serious flooding issues right now.
@@AdventureIsOutThere I really lucked out where I am because just ten minutes down the street, they were under nine feet of storm surge
@@ErikSchroeder79 oh wow! We have lots of friends & family in Tampa/St. Pete. Glad it didn't turn out bad for you!
@AdventureIsOutThere I live in Tampa and got hit hard. But Clearwater Beach was slammed, and last I checked, it still hasn't opened back up.
@@ErikSchroeder79 👍
Thank you for this! Heading to the area on Oct 5 with our kids and grandkids so it is a relief to see things are going to be open, while very sobering to know the damage and loss so many have experienced. Will continue praying for the Southeast!
I am going on October 1st. I was supposed to be there today but moved it up just a bit because of the storm. Make sure you check road closures because I-26 and I-40 going into Pigeon Forge are closed. We usually travel that direction from NC, but will take a few days to visit family in Georgia first so we will be okay coming in from Georgia.
Sarah. Please call ahead and speak with local police station or local highway officials, city hall, etc., to be sure its OK to visit where you intend. Right now, it's been advised for many locations, stay off the roads. The infrastructure will take a long time to rebuild, and people needlessly in the way, may be ill-advised. Check ahead, please. Enjoy your time, if you get a green light.
I agree we had vacation plans to go to Dollywood 10-8 but decided to cancel. We would have been coming in from Charlotte & don't want to take any chances with any possible rockslides, road closures, etc.
Thanks for sharing Ryan. I'm in Clemson SC and just in the upstate area alone we've got around 1.25 million out of power and the damage is absolutely tremendous. Many thoughts & prayers for everyone who was in the path of this storm and also remember our linemen & first responders. They're out there so we can be comfortable again asap. 💙🙏🏼
God bless you, thank you for remembering them.Many of the linemen as you know travel from other states? My family is in WNC and I am in the foothills of NC. I pray you and your family and friends are all safe from Hurricane Helene. Take care and may God bless you and your family and friends always. ✝️🙏🙏🙏
@@Leigh-cz8wh how well I know. I was a lineman with Pike for 15 years and I've traveled MANY places MANY times working storm restoration and it's extremely taxing. May God bless you as well! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
I’m from Upstate SC and today is day#6 without power. I grateful that we didn’t get any other damages🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻praying for all the people that were severely impacted by hurricane Helene
Thank you so much for the update. So glad to hear that Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area is OK. Thanks for keeping us informed and updated. It sounds like the NC Side of the mountains got hit really hard. Our prayers are with all of the people impacted by this flooding.
Our pleasure Smoky Mountain Man!
That zoomed-in tree limb tho.
Man, the damage to I-40 near NC line looks awful. Same with Chimney Rock, NC. Devastating. Praying for all of those impacted.
Thankfully no one was seriously hurt on I-40 when that happened!
@@AdventureIsOutThere have you seen the unicoi tennessee hospital flooded and their stranded on the roof
@@kreistianmoore7851 We did see the image, that is a rough day for those individuals!
Johnson city and Unico is pretty bad as well
If you look at the radar. Anywhere near the Mississippi is going to be in big trouble. It's dumping all that rain in that general area.
The Virginia state police helicopter rescued around 50 people from the roof of the Unicoi county hospital in Tn. earlier.
They had 4 helicopters on that rescue mission glad they got everyone to safety
@@KW-cq4yrhappy for the rescue
My husb was just showing me TikToks of this, but we didn't know where it was and then I saw your comment. Glad they were rescued!!
So thankful
We highlighted that in our latest video ► ua-cam.com/video/oVYlgckBvsU/v-deo.html
I'm visiting in Clover SC. A Substation Flooded here. No electricity until end of next week. Ashville, Hendersonville, and Lake Lure NC. Are decimated. No roads left in Lake Lure. All roads shut down in Western North Carolina.
Nobody visits Clover sc
They get stranded in Clover sc
@milekh6681 maybe that's your experience. I see a great strength of community here. Everyone helping each other. Sharing food, help clean up trees, finding neighbors gas for generators and cars. Calling on elderly for wellness check. Helping each other keep phone charged. I like it here...
Sing it, Dolly! 🎵 "Islands in the stream, that is what we are." 🎵
We Can ride it together
@@rustymaples6986Uuu Huh.
@@patricaowensthey ran out of lyrics at that part.
@@psychedelicfright85 Miss read the THEY PART.DISREGARD THAT COMMENT.
🤣🤣
I am SO EXCITED SEEING THIS!! I am from Florida and my Son is a Sargeant on the Pigeon Forge Police Department. Having went through Ian now Helene I now have a storm event in common with my Son. Thank you. 😊
Our pleasure!
Remnants of hurricane Ian put two trees on the roof of my house. So even when you think a storm is winding down...they can still be dangerous.
@@TweetyPAK7 I hated Ian more than Helene. My Son came and got me and took me back to Tennessee for a week until my power and water came back. He has been trying to get me to move there. I am sorry for the damage you incurred.
@@MaryMacElveen It was a shock considering I was in VA. It was so much worse than expected. I had stepped out on the front porch because it was getting really crazy loud outside and BOOOM!!! I didn't know what it was! Maybe you should move to TN...very pretty there. 😊
What a strange post
Great visual update, again. River is running quite high here in Chattanooga, with Riverwalk flooding in many areas.
Thank you so much for your updates and your reports on Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge! When I want to know something about my favorite place, I tune into your channel.
That means a lot Rick! We may not be the best, but we will always give our best effort as time permits!
Much love to everyone from 🇨🇦 🍁 ….wishing safety and healing ❤️🩹
Thank you so much for this tour….❤️
It has been a VERY long time since I have been there. It was 1975. That is pre-Dollywood. As I remember it, Pigeon Forge was just a mall town. The Wheels of the Century trailer club stayed at a KOA Campground outside of Pigeon Forge. I imagine that is long gone. At the campground, I met a very nice lady from the Detroit area, Anna Mary and we fell for each other. I was in the USAF stationed at Griffiss AFB, Rome, NY. That base is long gone now. My parents lived between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, MI. Long distance dating sure ain't easy. We tried our best but sadly it just didn't work out.
None of what you showed in the video was there way back then. Oh how that area has grown and grown.
Thanks for the video and a chance to remember a very nice time touring the area and the Smoky Mountains.
Какая у Вас трогательная история! Как в фильме, точнее даже более романтичная потому что вы встречались с этой девушкой, это я про фильм Мосты округа Мэдисон
Just for giggles the Koa campground is still open
@@AnnaAnna-ii6hl This wasn't something either of us was planning to happen. We met and each decided we liked each other. Being USAF at the time, I just went with the "tradition" of target of opportunity. It was there, you go for it. Nearly 50 years later, I do wonder what happened to Anna Mary. I do hope life has been kind to her. I have heard of the movie, but have never watched it.
@@colinsmith7884 That is almost unbelievable. Thanks for letting me know!
Ryan, thank you so much for this update. My heart goes out to everyone on the NC side that has suffered so much devastation. We are arriving on October 6 for the week…a family vacation! Our children, their spouses and our 5 grandchildren. Hopefully by then some things will be back to normal. I really enjoy your channel!
My grandparents were from Sevierville. I always said one day I'll go see Sevierville. Thanks for taking me along at Dollywood. About a year ago I found out Dolly and I are related. You have a new subscriber!!
We seem to run into Partons everywhere, it's a big family! Welcome to our UA-cam family too!
One of my relatives was the first Governor of Sevierville. Named after him! 😊
My son has an Airbnb in Sevierville so I've been worried, but looks like that area is OK. 🤔
Who remembers the 2016 chimney top fires in Gatlinburg. That sucked.
It was horrific.
Had just left a cabin up on the hill at the Gatlinburg Welcome Center on Sunday. The cabin burned on Monday morning. Such a tragedy.
😢❤ I think about it periodically
That fire was the first thing I thought of and it’s comparison to this devastation from flooding. What a contrast in the two catastrophes. Both very tragic and heartbreaking to witness. My wife and I have come down to what we call OUR cabin in Severeville every year to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary since 2006 when our first Anniversary trip to the Caribbean got cancelled due to a hurricane. We fell in love with these mountains and this area right away and have considered it our 2nd home for the last 17 straight years. We’ll be back for number 18 in November and looking forward to many more memories yet to come. We’re praying for the whole southeast now in hope of relief very soon. We are very fortunate here in Kentucky to have avoided this kind of tragic destruction this time around but we HAVE been through it before and can relate to these folks. God’s mercy and grace are never ending. Remember that and hold on to it. Peace is on the way!
I remember it was so sad people's businesses were destroyed a lot of family and Native Americans lost their businesses too it made me kinda sick so many losses now this Thankfully the water went down quickly
I live in South Central Indiana and just in my area we have 100k without power due to the backlash we've recieved from it.
Thank you for the info, we have a lot of family in Indiana and north Illinois..
Crazy how it didn't do anything here in north central indiana. All we got was some gusty wind and a drizzle. Farmers are still out harvesting
That zoomed-in tree limb, tho
@@MassiveGarbage We just got a lot of rain and some wind gusts too but it was enough to knock power out for several. It's mind blowing how far reaching the effects are.
Ryan - thank you for your informative videos. My wife and I have our first alone week long vacation (after 25 years and 3 kids) planned for this week To Gatlinburg and it's the first time to Gatlinburg. Can't wait to be there though it may be wet - but then it is the "Smoky mountains!" We love your information and share your faith. Thank you for showing us what to expect! 😊
Wow you do need a vacation! I hope you all have a great time The Smokey Mountains are truly beautiful if I were you I'd check where the mud slides are they'd probably have most cleaned up if there are any through where you are going.
Have fun, we love the Smokies. Maybe it won't be so crowded for you now❤ Enjoy!! I know how it feels to finally have some alone time after kids.
Is that a joke?
I got some crazy video of the Pigeon River in Newport today before they evacuated downtown Newport. Chillin in a hotel room right now since we can't get home. Hoping the water goes down tomorrow so we can get home and assess the damage. I'll say our first week as fulltime Tennessee residents has been eventful.
Welcome to Tennessee!!
Welcome to the great state of Tennessee, Paul!
Welcome to Tennessee my friend. You gotta go to a UT football home game. 😊
You arrived from out of state
@@garnerjoyce606 Yes, moved here from Michigan.
Thank you so much for the update, it’s relieving to know that my favorite city is alright.
Thank you for your continuous update. Prayers for all in the path of this flood. May God Bless you all.
Thank you so much for your video. I'm praying for all who have been impacted by hurricane Helene. The devastation from this storm is so heartbreaking. God bless you, one and all.
Thank you for this footage. These are areas my wife & young son and I have spent a good bit of time in for holidays & vacations. Wishing and praying for safety for everyone affected by these storms.
As a child, we vacationed in Gatlinburg with our parents back in the mid-1960s. Our motel room was outside the Little Pidgeon River. We took a guided tour of a cave with little blind fish. Everyone was very friendly. Those are pleasant memories.
Jim & I have been praying for all our friends & everyone in the area. Water can be so very devastating! 🙏
Thankfully it wasn't as bad as it could have been in this area. Neighboring Newport, TN is having a lot of trouble right now!
@@AdventureIsOutThere we seen how very bad Newport was. Floodwaters are so destructive. We have had bad flooding here on the Mississippi River. But flash flooding is nothing to mess around with. It’s wicked. Please stay safe & dry. 🙏
@@Vivianhome2holiday It can be destructive. I did swift-water rescue training as a firefighter/paramedic and learned to treat high volumes of moving water seriously!
@@AdventureIsOutThere I have so much respect for people like yourself that run towards the dangers such as this & other dangerous situations. Your bravery is irreproachable! Thank You! God Bless You & All Our First Responders!!! 💖🙏🇺🇸🙏💖
@@Vivianhome2holiday 👍
I was just here a few weeks ago. It's crazy to see the changes. I'm grateful that it is mostly ok. Thank you for sharing
Just found your channel. I'm from Australia so found this video fascinating. I'll never get over there so loved the little glimpse of Dollywood. Looks like I may have to binge watch your past videos...lol
oh my goodness by the Apple Barn that is really up. We love this spot so very much and the Apple Valley Comfort Inn. Like home away from home. Gatlinburg is such a wonderful place also so many great memories. So thankful to see that the damage so many are suffering today in other parts of the states like Asheville NC and area mostly spared Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. You do an excellent job of reporting and videoing. One of the best. Blessings to you and your family.
I appreciate the opportunity to travel all around with you today 9-29-Sunday! And to understand the challenges all around Gatlinburg! Here in Mooresville, NC we kept our power and our property stayed put! Our Church is Planning gathering items in need, on the Mountains! PBC at The Church Campus on Enochville Road ! Piedmont Baptist Church !! 7:00 tonight is Our first run then again at the end of the week!! We need each other, that is for sure!! Family Life Campus is where the action is!
Thank you so much for the video we have our 10th anniversary coming up a week from today 4 October and we will be heading out for a weeklong adventure in pigeon Forge Gatlinburg, and hopefully the Smoky Mountains. We always love your videos from the bottom of my heart I just wanna say a big thank youfor the great video that you have given us and the peace of mind knowing that we’re coming at a great time.
Thank you for your video!!! Making it real and not to scared people, but to informed them!!! God Bless You!!!
This was a blessing to see, we are coming next Monday for a family trip and have looked forward to this for several months ... I'm so glad I came across your video
That was my brother playing banjo at Dollywood
Tell him greetings from a german bluegrass picker out of the Eifel Hills.
Nice picking! Plz tell him so!
Oh I could listen to him playing all day. Awesome. Tell him hello from great fans of Dollywood living in Canada. Love this area and the people so very much. 🥰
Greetings from south Florida
Thanks for the information. Great video! My husband and I are headed down to Pigeon Forge from Michigan on Sunday to celebrate our anniversary. Glad to see that the flooding wasn't worse.
Our pleasure! We hope you have a wonderful anniversary trip!
Thank you so much for this video. We are planning a trip to the area in the middle of October and you have put our fears to rest. Prayers for victims of the storm. God bless you !
So sad. I hope the people gather together to help one another.
WOW thank you so much for taking the time to tell us how we looked after this incredible Hurricane aftermath. It's people like you that I have a little place in Pigeon Forge and was worried to no end! OF COURSE THE SMOKY MOUNTAIN ATMOSPHERE MAKES IT THE BEST ENVIRONMENT ON THE EAST COAST! MY HEART BLEEDS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST EVERYTHING elsewhere ! Rich in Daytona Beach we were Lucky also like you guys in Sevier County
Thanks Ryan for your updates. We will be in the area after next week. I surely do respect the people of southeastern Tennessee resilience.
It’s nice to hear someone tell us what is going on instead yelling dramatically at the camera like they do on the news.
Happy to share updates of where we live as we know so many people love this area!
Thank you! Great job you did in showing us how things look there after the storm! Take good care.
Still planning on coming down around the fourth of Oct. Not concerned at all with things being shut down while we're there, more concerned about the trip down and any little unexpected surprises during that part of the trip. They've done a great job over the years of being able to minimize the disruption to tourism that comes with these floods, something I'm willing to bet has been a frequent issue whenever there is any heavy rain in the area.
My prayers go out to the people in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg Tennessee! I was glad to hear that Dolly Parton has donated a million dollars for the cleanup efforts but it's also going to take a lot of elbow grease and I know those people will cooperate with each other they're good solid American people bless their hearts!!
I'm so glad you showed this, I was worried, even though we don't live there yet, I feel like I'm part of the community and I wasn't sure if you are used to dealing with this kind of weather. Prayers for all of those that were hit badly from this storm
We get flash flooding from time to time. Neighboring Newport, TN was hit really bad with flooding after a nearby dam broke. Thanks!
Does this area typically get rains from Hurricane seasons?
Great coverage thank you. We have rental cabins in PF and Seiverville and so far people are all still coming.. sending prayers to all effected.
I know what that’s like. I lost everything in Hurricane Irma. Be safe
Thank you for the continuous update. We have vacation plans for the day after Christmas to after the first of the year. We are surely looking forward to it.
My prayers are with everyone who is affected by Helene and the aftermath of the storm. Those who are affected by flooding.
Hopefully you kept Doug.. and sent him on a new adventure. I found his Facebook page. And posted your video to it. That’s awesome you came across him. My wife and I are hoping to see if you post another video of him going on his new adventure. 😁
Wow, I'm a senior aged Memphian who spends a week in Gatlinburg most years, often about this time of year. I used my Westgate week in Branson back in May. I've done so a few times as a change of pace, but I like Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge much better. Your video blew my mind. I was also in Gatlinburg shortly after the fire in 2016. Downtown Gatlinburg along the Parkway was minimally affected but I saw a large home on the big hill just northwest of the Parkway that was burned to the ground. Several other homes up the hill were also damaged. Westgate Smokey Mountain was heavily impacted. More than half the buildings were burned to the ground. Looking forward to getting back in the spring.
Interesting video glad your channel popped up.
This was a very good video. Good to see places we went. Excellent commentary along the way. We were there in May 23 - its a long way from San Diego!
TFS! Excellent video. Our prayers are with the folks in E. TN & W. NC. 🙏🏻
Thanks Joanne!
Thanks for the video. We were just there 2 wks ago for the Rod Run. Walked the river walk- now under water. Great shots!
First time watching your videos definitely won’t be my last great content and it was good to see the condition there I live just east of Atlanta Georgia and I can’t believe how bad we were hit either much worse than I’d have ever imagined
We were just down in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for a week from 9/7-9/14. It was beautiful. We were there between this storm and the one the week before we went. To see all these places that we visited is shocking. I feel for all of the local residents and businesses.
Oh my goodness thank you! My parents are heading there from Texas so this will help so much to know what’s going on up there.
Thanks for the update. We'll be up there in a few days, so it's good to know we won't have too much trouble.
We will be there in a week for a vacation, cabin up in the mountains. Hopefully all of the sights will be open and functioning. Thanks for the update.
This video is extremely helpful. My family has a trip planned for fall break and this video really helped us to know what all is open and if we should still make the trip. Thank you so much!
God bless all of y'all affected by this storm.
#7 on Trending!! I've been here since the beginning and usually a silent viewer. I think I've made one other comment since then, but I wanted to day CONGRATULATIONS!!
Thank you so much for this. I’ll be in this area for the first time in a couple of weeks and thought I’d need to cancel - but looks like there’s no need. I just feel terrible for those who are having to deal with more damage and loss.
Thank you so much for the update on the storm damage in pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg area. We are planning a trip to that area 2 weeks from now and wondered if we should postpone until a later date. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for the video. It was nice to see Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg again although the circumstances
Omg !! We will certainly continue to pray for ye all !! We didn't have this much damage here in N.E.,GA, and it hit us first !?!?! Feel very fortunate 😢😢!! Our hearts go out to all great rescue crews and any those who help and to those who have lost all n loved ones !! 😢😢❤❤
Yeah wears valley Townsend area i used to live im in Maryville TN now. About 30 minutes away from pigeon forge. I usually cut through wears valley to get there. Or old walland highway if I want to go through the mountains in the back road were my Papaw used to have his shine stills back in the day. There's still one on the mountain from decades ago. There's a natural spring that's been piped into then you can get good spring water driving down through old walland
You make great videos.
Rare talent.
I've only lived in Knoxville for four years.
Your videos are extremely helpful.
Thank you
Have you planned a trip toward Asheville. Many dead with major devastation. So many people need help. Food, water, etc.
Praying for everyone effected by this storm!🙏🙏
Thank you for the update. We will be in the area in 2 weeks. Glad to know there was little damage caused by the hurricane.
Our pleasure! Hope you have a great time in 2 weeks!
Thanks for sharing. We are planning to be down in November. Devastation elsewhere. Though praying for those that are effected
Seems like a very well designed city. Funnel all the water to low areas, and build up higher the land where people live, work, play, etc.
So glad you and your family were okay ✅ and God bless you
Thank you so much! We will be there in a couple of weeks. I was worried about how it was gonna be
I live in Kentucky our power was out for like 11 hours now its back on and trees were down and house damage Evan tho that was in Florida its winds hit all the way to Kentucky
raining hard off and on In middle Tennessee for the past 48 hours and still a steady rain as off 10:30 pm tonight. What a storm, my heart prays for Florida and all those affected.
What part of KY? I’m worried about my mountain cabin in SEKY.
Indiana too
The wind hit us in northeast Indiana. We had power outages here as well.
Our climate is changing. There’s no denying it anymore. A tropical storm in our area that came from the Gulf of Mexico is insane.
Here in Nashville, Minimal Flooding but FULL rivers (from what i've heard)
We got ours in May 2010.
Thanks for the well done coverage of this storm.
We are headed to Pigeon Forge in 2 weeks so thank you for showing us what it looks like!!
Our pleasure, hope you have a great time in 2 weeks!
In Clearwater on business matters and will be for couple years so I rented my place out in Gatlinburg. Many got flooded out with storm surge here but I live in a non evac zone (42 ft above SL in Belleair), 80 MPH gusts at 8 pm and disconcerting but no issues overall. Tennessee is probably the best state in the nation. Tennessee makes Texas look like a blue state. No state tax in TN. Lowest Real Estate Taxes in nation, lowest everything basically. Why more folks don't live in eastern TN boggles the mind. The beauty is second to none. Nice video. I'll be back to Gatlinburg soon. Keep up the nice videos.
Prayers for all flood victim's❤😢😮Take care of eachother❤Hope the RV girls and their dogs are❤ok.In both Tennesse and Florida.With ❤ from Canada
Wow! Thanks for this. We live in central NC and vacation annually near The Village in Gatlinburg. We always take the kids to Dollywood and we always have a supper at The Apple Barn. We also go to the Old Mill area. Wow, Dollywood is like a ghost town! Thanks!
Yes Thank you for the update. Coming up from Zephyerhills, Florida. ( just north of Tampa). We are so ready for our yearly dose of color.
Ryan, it was good to get to shake your hand in Dollywood today. Thanks for all the informative videos.
Thank you for my Sunday drive. I enjoyed the sight seeing
Thank you for the video. We have a planned vacation the end of October. This information puts my mind at ease.
Thank you for all the info, planning to be there next weekend for a week.
So appreciative. Planning on visiting later next mth. So this video really calmed me. Checking in from OH
Pray for everybody involved hope everybody’s OK and I’ll be praying for them and people in Florida
Good video glad y'all are safe All of power is out and could be days before back on and trees down everywhere one came down right on the truck crushed it but I'm thankful to God me and my family are safe me and them are more important than any worldly things
That same banjo player was in the Dollywood video on the JOLLY channel. 😂
Glad the rain stopped. Love the duck and reminds me I need to get my words of kindness written on sticky notes and tied around the ducks for any jeeps I see here in Tishomingo to duck. The flooding reminds me of the flooding at Pennington that one year that it rained a month here.
Checking in as we always spend last week of Oct 1st week of Nov there. Love the people of Western NC & Eastern TN!!!
Welcome to the creeks in the mountains! peacefull one minute / raging the next
Thanks for covering the flood. Just left pigeon Forge last Friday.
We were at Dollywood on Friday as well. Visiting for the first time . Unfortunately we were to go to wedding in Asheville Saturday. Family in Asheville are safe but lost power, water and cell service. Pray for Asheville. 🙏💜
I hope everyone is okay. I saw that Newport is totally flooded. I hope sieverville, pigeon forge and Gatlinburg are all ok and stay ok.
