Glad they were out. Westgate Resort, which is right near their place, was nearly completely destroyed. It seems hit or miss the homes with damage, so I hope theirs made it through.

Thank God, we're getting good pouring rain in Knoxville right now. It's soon to be in Gatlinburg with some much needed relief! Hope it cover the mountains with a blanket of it.

Glad Diana and everyone else is safe!

Now that I don't have to worry about people, I hope those treasured Safari Man boxes survived :(

I have been wondering about Glenn's boxes as well, SO. I hope they made it through safely. Wouldn't be the first time fire has damage or destroyed some of his boxes, however. Here in Ok long ago in a lake park there were a couple, or three that did. They even closed up that section of the park and never to regain entrance to check any more on those that were left.

I have wondered how close Granny Butterfly and Coffee Mug are to the affected areas and hope they as well as the many boxers and general public make it out safely.

Take care all,
OD

Tomorrow they are letting only home owner, renters, and rental property owners into Gatlinburg from 10am to 5pm. Hoping to check on Safari Man's boxes sometime this winter. Talked to Hale Angel s this afternoon and she is holding up as well as to be expected. They rapidly left their home and could see the fire all around. She's not very optimistic about the outcome of their home, sad to say. Thank goodness they made it out fine.

This is all very sad. Maybe we can come together and help, if needed?

Either by helping Hale's Angel, or by sending/planting new stamps to perk up some of the sadness and destruction...

We were in Pigeon Forge when the fire went wild. We were evacuated from our condo but fortunately we got back in later that night and everything is fine. We did plant several boxes at the Islands while there.

Scout trekkie, we were planning to get your new box in Gatlinburg. But of course we couldn't get a nywhere near Gatlinburg. The next time we get that way we will be sure to check and see if it is still there.
