All right, a serious note this morning, though, with the devastating wildfires in eastern tennessee. The resort city of gatlinburg under a curfew until 6 00 a. M. To keep residents and tourists safe. The fire destroyed much of the town at the foot of the great smokey mountains. Unbelievable footage were seeing. Gusts as strong as 60 Miles Per Hour pushed flames over 20 just the clothes on their backs. Three deaths are being blamed on the flames. Investigators say the fire that started it all was caused by humans. Earliier we spoke with mark nagi with the department of transportation, spending all day driving around the coupe. I know you toured the area, what did you tell us about the destruction there . Caller good news is downtown gatlinburg is pretty much all in tact, but you go on the side a mile of that main strip, it looks like a bomb has gone off. Wow. Caller homes that are you only know they were there because the foundation is all that remains, and its something thats going to take a long time for the folks in gatlinburg to rebuild. As you drove around the area, were you stunned but how devastating this was . Caller absolutely. I mean, you hear the reports from the night before about the high winds or 60 Miles Per Hour, how much widespread devastation there is in the area. It isnt just the folks vacationing there. This is also just the normal houses for the folks that live in gatlinburg, so these are the folks that are going to have to deal with this 365 days a year. Can you speak to the ramifications of this . Affecting both the residents that live there, but also the many, many tourists that go there every year. Caller yeah, certainly. You just wonder what its going to be like when you get the busier tourist seasons. This is, perhaps, the worst fire seen in east tennessee in about a century. The governor toured the area. This is something thats going to take a while for folks to deal with. Give us the latest overall as far as you know, the fire is under control and it did not have much of an impact on dollywood at the same time, right . Caller thats correct. Into the area. We have seen heavy rains helping smaller fires that remean in the gatlinburg area. I wonder, any semblance of the a plan to move forward and rebuild . Caller well, i think its way too early to say, but this has been something that governor is well aware of everything going on in the area, and its something that the state will deal with, and im sure well get federal assistance as well. Thanks to mark nagi from the tennesse the latest on the devastation, mark. Caller thank you.
