Oh guys, it was awful! The fire went from 5 acres to 500 acres OVERNIGHT! It started in Gatlinburg and spread quickly to Pigeon Forge by strong winds and crazy gusts up to 87 mph

Oh guys, it was awful! The fire went from 5 acres to 500 acres OVERNIGHT! It started in Gatlinburg and spread quickly to Pigeon Forge by strong winds and crazy gusts up to 87 mph. Tons of tourist attractions and hotels were burned down, along with at least half of the forest there. Thankfully the Ripley's Aquarium was spared. The animals! Oh and the cabins that my family and I stayed at over the summer are completely gone!! It's so sad because we were planning on staying there next summer :( I know of at least three deaths and I'm sure there were plenty of injuries as well.

Guys, it's going to be so rough adjusting for the people who live there, and although the attractions and building can be built up again fairly quickly, the forest and mountains will be devastated for a good while, which is so terribly sad.

Please keep this in your prayers for the next few days. As you can see, it all could use a big touch of love from God.

Also, my step dad has been off of work for four week now due to some liver and stomach issues. I'm not exactly sure what it really is, but I know the pain and swelling has gone away for the most part, so please just pray that he continues to get better and is able to return to work soon. (He is a truck driver for Walmart.)

We need prayer warriors! ✊
