*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
@@zacharytomlin8814 happy anniversary! Is it snowing right now?? Wish you could have gotten a good steak today. So glad to hear you guys found some value in the channel!
I am supporting for The Smoky mountain family Yes, I had been trying to figure out what is goings-on my real vision serious need set up new one dam engineer foe level water can control but it cost a lot of money yes. Beautiful places I had been offer gone there and mine Indian tribe of teams knows me little grew up to meet them annually twice every years but they were very good.
Thanks for posting.
I love the the Smoky Mountains, love Gatlinburg ,Pigeon Forge, everything.. we had a bit of flooding in Kentucky too .. can hardly wait to visit in the spring again❤️
😮Omg! Stay safe y'all! We are getting all this rain and heavy 60-70mph winds all through the evening here at the Delaware beaches. Lots of coastal flooding expected. Thanks for the video!
As I recall this same area was hit with very bad forest fires a few years ago! That doesn't help ! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I too am in Delaware beach region,Lewes to be exact. The wind and rain are moderate at the moment.
Just arrived in Gatlinburg for the first time coming up from savannah georgia. Love your videos. Water has gone down but what an experience coming from south georgia to cherokee then turning around on newfound gap road and taking I 40 to Gatlinburg
Reminded me of that time River Street flooded and folks ditched cars to get totaled.
Looks like a new log ride in Gatlinburg folks! Hang on for the duration of the ride!!
Grew up in Gatlinburg and has been flooding just like this since the 50’s and 60’s , not often but does. Around the River Terrace, Aquarium, Greystone, and around Ole Reds etc.. you can only restrain the river so much. Thanks much for the videos..
EXACTLY. People calm down! These comments are just idiotic
@@tennesseegirl5539I'm truly laughing my Azz off right now. Lotta drama queens out there..
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
Great Job as ALWAYS!! The Creeks are Loud near the house .. insane
Gatlinburg looks like a really lovely town. Hope she gets through this flooding ok.
boy n girl scout troops standing bye ready for the clean up to begin
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.
One of my old employers. Praying all is well inside. Love my No Ways family.
I hate to see this happening to anyone's property. The video was sharp and clear, excellent camera work, it was like we were there . Thank you , I had no idea it was this bad. It was rough in Unicoi but not this much water.
I HAVE been there many times and recognize the businesses there. Horrible for all who work and live there. What a nightmare.
Rockin in Unicoi !
sorry to see this. we had a great time there right after Christmas. I had no idea how busy a place it would be.
God is sending many warnings. Take heed and seek God.
Y’all stay safe. I hope everyone is.
It was a heck of a storm. I haven't seen one of those in January in memory.
Eric, thanks for the update on the rising waters in Gatlinburg. Prayers for all involved and that the water retreat quickly and all stay safe. Stay Safe and God Bless
That should be SNOW! OMG. My sister just relocated to North Carolina from near Gatlinburg. Ugh.
Please be safe....I thought we got it bad in south ga but yall got it really bad. 🙏
So very sad. Tennessee Authorities need to truly figure out a Diversion River to allow the Water to Divide itself to relieve so much overflow of The Little Pigeon River coming down from NewFound Gap.
Water will find it way .Quit building rit next to the streams.
No, I agree, why isn't there a better drainage system in place? With all the resources & money those businesses bring in can't they come up with something? 💧
Exactly!
You would think as much money that is made in Gatlinburg, that they would be able to set up some type of a better system for water overflow.
they tried that in Las Vegas, all those tunnels turned into nothing but homeless camps.
What do you expect when you develop the flood plains of a creek? Exactly this. It happens all the time.
Correct
Yep, this is a regular occurrence and has been for the 50 years I've been visiting the Smokies.🙄
Imagine a “100 year” event. This is nothing, but still alarming.
Exactly !!! Maybe nature sees what people have done to it down there and will eventually take it back !! I'm sure that town was beautiful before every hillside was covered in cabins 😓
Doesn’t matter where we build. Natural disasters (events) can happen anywhere. Here, it’s tornadoes or the New Madrid fault line. When I grew up on the east coast it was hurricanes. And imagine living through the thousand year flood in Nashville.
I'm in Bay County, Florida.
We went through the Tornadoes this morning.
I wouldn't want to deal with this either.
Wow, please be careful.
I've been watching the videos from Florida. Stay safe down there.
Thanks for showing the flooding Eric. Hoping not a lot of property damage. I'm in eastern Pennsylvania and we're under flood warnings now. Storm is over us now.
Thanks for sharing. That's the worst flooding I've seen in that area.😮
Wow! I've never seen it like that before. That's crazy! Stay safe.
i was wondering if it was bad over there if the dr had released me we probably would have been there great video thank you for showing this stay safe
Love this place, loved the people, great place to visit and vacation. My heart breaks for you guys.
I love it there it’s beautiful Maybe Dolly can do a fund raiser and help them out !
@@sandralrho9455it happens more often than you think.
Don't worry! We're ok.
Prayers to all there in Gatlinburg and the surrounding areas. It looks like a nice place to live. My parents and many of my other relatives are Tennessee natives and I've been thinking about moving back there myself. I hope you recover quickly!
Careful, its a tourist trap. lol...
@DuncanGarrett-ne8fi
You sound dumb! How can you pray about something that’s an “act of god”! It floods there often especially after a heavy rain storm!
When a city is built right on top of a river what do you think is going to happen duh 🙄 flooding occurs!
Mother Nature way of reminding us to stop messing around with all the endless building. We need to make better decisions to avoid these situations.
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot
God has power!..to do it all n no one can stop it, just got to watch it, Amen
Most pristine waters from the Smokey Mountains.
Wow!!! I have been to Gatlinburg so many times and I have never seen the water that high ever!!!
Moved to Knoxville from FL back in July been wanting to visit gat for the mountain views and snow but looks like no snow yet but damn hope everyone safe with the flooding
Wow! My prayers are definitely with you guys. I live down Southwest Louisiana just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico. We have the Calcasieu River and the Red River and we’re sandwiched between them and when the slight chance of a hurricane heads this way, everything around us goes under water. I’ve lived thru 6 major hurricanes and it’s not for the faint of heart. God bless you all. 😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
Prayers to Lord Jesus for protection over Gatlinburg!
Goodness!!! I think this is the highest water video I have seen from Gatlinburg! I didn't know East TN was getting this much rain!!! We got a bit in Middle TN but no where near this amount! Be careful everyone!
@@Honey-SanchezNew Jersey
Isn't it in Nashville??
@@Honey-SanchezPDF
@@Honey-SanchezTennessee 😂😂😂😂
Oh no😢😮Prayers for Tennesee❤❤
Unfortunately that's what happens when you turn everything to concrete
Be careful driving through high waters (not supposed to do that). Love this town so much! My first husband and y got married there in 1998 (God rest his soul). Special memories. Praying for y'all! 🙏
My parents don't live far from there and told me about how bad it was this morning. Now I can see how bad it was. Wow! I can't tell you when I have seen it this bad. Stay safe and Be Blessed.
Prayers and thoughts heading down there... Holy Smokes!!! Hope everyone is safe!!
That’s a lot of water!!! Sheesh! I was planning on visiting Gatlinburg and/or Pigeon Forge last summer. I really wish I had made the trip, especially after seeing this destruction.😢🙏🏾
Living in area for a long time now I've seen this happen a few times over the years in 2006/7 it was even worse the water was over the main and side roads. Water rushing thru the first floors of the hotels. You could see the water going right thru the bottom floors rooms the water was very high. even on the streets the water was deep. the mountains were so full of water it looked like the mountains were crying all over the mnts. Waterfalls where everywhere in places where there was no waterfalls before the flood. Even in Pigeon Forge the river come over the road.
In Gatlinburg at the aquarium people where trapped there, a helicopter had to evacuate the people out.
What happens is the river has a 90 degree turn near the aquarium. The water will rush thru so fast and hard that the turn cause the water to start backing up. It just flows to fast to make the 90 turn without causing a back flow. When the river rushes and get high it allows many down branches and trees to move down the river. the trees will get caught on turns and narrow areas. Especially at the 90° turn. The trees and debris makes natural Dams which cause the water to build up reaching record highs till it floods everything. Hopefully I explained this in a way its understandable. It's really hard to give a explanation but it's an amazing sight but scary and sad for the property owners stores restaurants motels devastated inside full of water mud and debris. I have to day before I had to evacuate I did a little drive into the mountains seeing the mountains with all those new waterfalls and looking like the mountains are sobbing was actually very pretty but you knew it wasn't going to be good. Prayers for my friends and neighbors...
Crazy! Thanks for making such good content! Southern Indiana here, no flooding.
Thanks for the videoEric We had flooding in our neck of the woods.Not as intense as ya"ll,tho we had a lot of heavy wind.50/60 mile hour wids that seem to never let up.Alot of wind damage and power outages.(Waynesboro Tn).Stay safe and know we are sending you and family our love and prayers, Karen&George
I just found this video. We live in Knoxville and had no idea it was this bad up there! Thank you for covering this flooding. Stay safe!
I live in Knoxville too. We had lots of rain and we’re getting strong winds now and probably some of the usual streets are flooded, but nothing like this. I hate to see this happening to our beautiful Smoky Mountains.
@debra.justice TOO MUCH DEVELOPMENT
how far Knoxville is from Gatlinkburg ?@@Debra.Justice
Knoxville Pennsylvania ?
@@joannadorothy About 40 miles from my area of Knoxville. If it’s not tourist season it’s an easy drive. But summer and fall the traffic is a nightmare.
Flooding is no joke, people....stay home.
Incredible to see. Thank you.
Breaks my heart. Be safe, folks.
It's a very old town. Developed many years ago and of course God does what God does, as he sees fit. Nothing the town could do about that. Just glad all will be back to normal soon. Nobody bounces back like those awesome Tennesseans 🙏👍
Wow, that is terrible. I hope everyone's property is alright. We had so much rain today from this storm. I live in North Carolina, and 1 person was killed in Claremont. He was trying to protect his wife from either a tornado or straight line winds, 2 others injured, do not know any other details from the rest of the state. We are supposed to get more bad weather Friday, I pray it will not be this bad. Thank you for sharing the amazing video.
That’s certainly scary to see all that flooding. Thanks Eric for sharing that with us and you be safe out there.
Humans are the only animal that runs to the disaster! It’s a flood move to higher ground❤ Prayers for safety🎉
Occasionally, it is TAUGHT. I traveled (my
job) thousands of miles each year. When
approaching accident scenes, I would park, grab the blanket, first aid kit, road
flares and walk/run toward the "problem".
....never away
@@robertwalker5521 my point was the gawkers not those trying to help. Sheeesh
Higher ground you don’t know much about the Smokies do you !
Good grief! We thought all that rain was more down towards the Gulf. Prayers 🙏❤️ for those affected, and Eric, you and your family be safe. Thank you. Btw, 8"of snow here; everything shut down, windy, lots of wrecks.
So where is “here”
It is coming from the golf
Jane...City & state, friend?
It's in Gatlinburg Tennessee
@@zebbullard8409 ?.there are NOW 8 inches of snow in Gatlinburg replacing all these flood waters pictured here??
My bride and I were married in Gatlinburg just before the fire, now this. I didn't recognize any of the new buildings, about time to return!
That's so crazy. Thank you for the great video. I was at Zoder's one month ago. I hope they are okay.
Go Eric !!! Great footage as usual !!!
I wonder what the river looks like in Pigeon Forge at the Old Mill?
Wow! If I was at Greystone Lodge I think I would be moving my car about now
Was here for this today from ohio was cool to see
Flooding helps
get rid of a lot of underground tunnels
that has been used for horrible child tracking and human trafficking

Prayers ❤
Oh no I hate that so much, we were hit here in Georgia this morning one person killed. God's wrath everyone, please pray for your salvation. God bless you all.
Never saw it that high wow. Hope all are safe there
Thanks for this video. I had no idea that there was this amount of water that flows thru Gatlinburg. Rivers and creeks winding thru streets and business - around business too like over by margaritaville. The city must have approved all these buildings over an area that could, and did, flood. Has this ever happened before at this magnitude?
Wow!
Wow stay safe sledgehammered that like button sharing out full watch
One of my favorite places in the world to spend time. Sad to see 😢
That's crazy😳
Be safe 🙏
my basement looks like this, and my sup pump broke. Lovely day and Still grateful for it all. God is Good.
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 ❤.
Please lord keep the old mill safe! My favorite place to eat.
Me too!!🙏
I dont think I've ever seen the water spill over the bridge like that... crazy weather
Gosh, this is a whole lot of water. does this all end up in the Mississippi? I wish I knew these things. best wishes for all involved
I wonder if boone or NC mountain citys are also flooding
we getting the breezy winds and rain here in west virginia keeping these people here in my thoughts and prayers
as you sow,so shall you reap,its divine pay back time,more to embrace in future.repent,ask for forgiveness,mend your ways,do the needful,be righteous and things calms down.
In southwest Ohio over 1.5 inches of rain today.
Went with my family back in the spring of 1995 and the whole town flooded. Luckily we stayed up on Airport Rd, but they were just pumping water out of shops in town.
Up the road a spell, the Nashville Flood in May 2010 was maybe a hundred times worse. I was surrounded by water for 3 days while the over all was a week to 10 days before most roads were open... months later the below ground limestone held water and made the Humidity and smell stick around well over a month. I became a Yankee again having lost my place down Thar. 7 twisters in one afternoon sent me running to Michigan and 141 inches of snow in on winter. I stayed two winters there for thew rainbow Trout Flood waters reached 88 feet above normal flow. in places
Wow
All of it is headed straight toward Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, too! My thoughts are with you all!
When you wrote 30 MINUTE LATER… I was listening for a Ukulele ( like on SpongeBob SquarePants)
Happens every time it rains hard over there. This ain't the first time. Close the roads, let the water go down.
I was going to go there this week for a day trip. Guess, I need to make other plans.
I pray everyone is safe and smart not to try to cross running water. This is one time I am glad not to be in Gatlinburg I love it there
Northeast Florida starting to get it now, schools closed here too. This is some nasty stuff
So heartbreaking. Hope everyone got out of flooded areas. My heart always breaks to think of poor animals that are left behind.
I pray in Jesus name for God angels all around you all. Keep you safey . Protect.
We need to start making our creeks deeper where needed it won't work everywhere but it will make a big dinner for rising water in areas like this
Gratitude for sharing, NoThing about flooding in Gatlinburg in national mass media. Prayers for All my Relations 👣🙏🏾💜💧🌎
Thanks for this, I was wondering just how bad it got there. I live one county over.
What river is that? I hope everyone is safe from the flood water. I grew up in Snoqualmie, Washington state and we had flooding every year. A lot of cleaning up to do
Thanks for the coverage. Unfortunately this happens a lot in that area of Gatlinburg.
Stay safe Everything Auto 🇬🇧
We just had floods too 😮

City and state?

Just WOW 😮! I'm Praying for everyone🙏🙏🙏
Looks like a water rapids ride at an amusement park! Stay safe!
Good video, that was a lot of rain water 😮, that was bad 😢
Incredible. How horribly sad. Has it ever this bad before?
I lived in Jackson County right across the mountain in NC, & this is more water than I’ve ever seen come through.
