*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❤️
I was going to go there this week for a day trip. Guess, I need to make other plans.
Unfortunately that's what happens when you turn everything to concrete
My prayers 🙏 for you all down in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg I was down there in September. I hate to see this .
Wonder how much snow is on Clingmans Dome?
drain lines should e kept clear every day of the year. As much money that this place bring in, there's no excuse.
Thank You very much for your video.

Gatlinburg,TN got that much rain WOW
My chicken runs in Morgan County TN got flooded
If you build in a flood plain expect water.
God is sending many warnings. Take heed and seek God.
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 !
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
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.
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.
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
A week from now thais same area will be under 2 feet of snow with below zero temps.😮

Lololol
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.
😮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.
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 wonder what the river looks like in Pigeon Forge at the Old Mill?
Please lord keep the old mill safe! My favorite place to eat.
Me too!!🙏
Wow! If I was at Greystone Lodge I think I would be moving my car about now
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.
In southwest Ohio over 1.5 inches of rain today.
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❤❤
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!
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 basement looks like this, and my sup pump broke. Lovely day and Still grateful for it all. God is Good.
I wonder if boone or NC mountain citys are also flooding
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.
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.
Eric, my thoughts and prayers to all affected by the flooding! That's a lot of water and hope y'all are all safe.
All mighty and most powerful Ģod,please calm the raging waters. Let there be deaths nor destruction,take place in Jesus conquering name,Amem.

@@smc130Oh please, you just destroyed all my good thoughts I had for you people. You just can't stop with your hate, now can you????
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.
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.
Please be safe....I thought we got it bad in south ga but yall got it really bad. 🙏
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...
Prayers to Lord Jesus for protection over Gatlinburg!
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??
Great Job as ALWAYS!! The Creeks are Loud near the house .. insane
we getting the breezy winds and rain here in west virginia keeping these people here in my thoughts and prayers
Happens every time it rains hard over there. This ain't the first time. Close the roads, let the water go down.
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
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 ❤.
Stay safe Everything Auto 🇬🇧
We just had floods too 😮

City and state?

I pray in Jesus name for God angels all around you all. Keep you safey . Protect.
It was a heck of a storm. I haven't seen one of those in January in memory.
All of it is headed straight toward Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, too! My thoughts are with you all!
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
Northeast Florida starting to get it now, schools closed here too. This is some nasty stuff
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
I dont think I've ever seen the water spill over the bridge like that... crazy weather
Gratitude for sharing, NoThing about flooding in Gatlinburg in national mass media. Prayers for All my Relations 👣🙏🏾💜💧🌎
sorry to see this. we had a great time there right after Christmas. I had no idea how busy a place it would be.
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
That should be SNOW! OMG. My sister just relocated to North Carolina from near Gatlinburg. Ugh.
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.
Where there used to be snow, expect rain. Same thing happening on the Eastern seaboard.
this is what overbuilt and over priced will get you,oh well...
Good video, that was a lot of rain water 😮, that was bad 😢
Mother Nature is Mighty!!!🌊💧🌬🌫🌪
Just WOW 😮! I'm Praying for everyone🙏🙏🙏
I lived in Jackson County right across the mountain in NC, & this is more water than I’ve ever seen come through.
How much rain, in how short a time, did it take to raise the level of that river to that extreme?
We've had anywhere from a drizzle to steady light rain for the last 2 days.
Looks like a water rapids ride at an amusement park! Stay safe!
So heartbreaking. Hope everyone got out of flooded areas. My heart always breaks to think of poor animals that are left behind.
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
Thanks for the coverage. Unfortunately this happens a lot in that area of Gatlinburg.
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.
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
Very intense. I will be holding everyone in the light. Parts of Florida are bracing for possible flooding again, as well.
I am in Pinellas/Pasco Fl. Its raining pretty heavy right now.
Holding everyone in the Light. There you go.
What does in the light mean? Asking the Lord to protect ? ❤
By 2050 parts of Florida will be under water.
Stay dry! I expect the Nolichucky up here in Greene county to be cranking by tomorrow.
Down here has been really windy and waiting on the line to pass. There was tornadoes this am in the panhandle
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
It's like this here in parts of England too. Stay safe
I pray for all affected.This is a waring from our lord jesus christ and there will be many in time to come.We are living in the latter days.This will be common to all countries.
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!
You wouldn't wanna live there. Too many tourists all year, plus the cost of living is astronomical. I've only visited 3 times, and I'm over it.
why do ppl drive around when its near flooding over here in australia this smorning old lady drives were it says DONT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS shows a farmer rescuing her both stuck in a tree such stupidity on ppls part my dear old aunty mary used to say its called common sense.....cause its not common......and not a lot of ppl have it.....enuff said
It is terrible to see 😢 praying for everyone to remain safe over there. 🙏
Hope everyone is ok Mother Nature is being herself praying for all and everyone’s property
When you wrote 30 MINUTE LATER… I was listening for a Ukulele ( like on SpongeBob SquarePants)
We were just there 3 weeks ago on vacation 😮
While this is terrible again, what do you expect when you close in a waterway and take it's ability to spread out.
Make sure you pay to park
Looks like a new log ride in Gatlinburg folks! Hang on for the duration of the ride!!
Y’all stay safe. I hope everyone is.
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 !
this is incredible flooding thank you for this review
This is what happened when irresponsible development encroaches on nature
And that has fulfilled its name 🙏 River road bridge. Who knew it would happen Via a flood in the future 🙏 only God knows.praying for people to see what God is trying to say. Seek the Lord in all you do and I will establish your ways.. 🙏🙌
It is so pretty there I don't want anything destroyed
God has power!..to do it all n no one can stop it, just got to watch it, Amen
I’ve seen this flooding before but never remembering it overtopping those bridges.
This small town looks picturesque.
You need to visit......but not this week
It's a cool town
I thought so too.
I feel so sad watching this bc Gatlinburg is my second home for vacation
Made worse by the fires a couple of years ago that stripped the mountainsides? 😔
