Hope ya'll are OK! My little brother just sent me a slide show, one of his two rental places up behind Dollywood burned to the ground along with all other houses on that street. His "newest" place is now up there all alone. One of the neighbors was a permanent resident, they lost everything...

Death toll will be in the 50's once said and done, over 1,000 structures are a complete loss, so far 18 families are without a home and lost everything so me and my buddy Bill so far raised over $12,000 for these families...

Dear Friends:
As I write you today I would like to first thank you for the comments and prayers that many of you have shared with me over the last few days.
I would like to update you on how our Smoky Mountains Boys & Girls Club families have been affected and how you may help if you wish.
As of now we know that our Area Director Melissa Dove lost her home she was renting in Gatlinburg. She did not have rental insurance so she literally lost everything but the clothing on her back. She has a daughter Hannah who is a Junior at GP and a special needs daughter Grace. They are currently living at Linda Ogle’s Hotel in Pigeon Forge.
We have identified 18 Club families in Gatlinburg who have lost everything. This number will grow as we can make contact with all of our members.
We have identified 2 Club families in Pigeon Forge who have lost everything.
If you are in a position to help Melissa or any of these families you may go to https://secureonlinegiving.com/donations/site/index.asp…
If you would like to designate your money to a Gatlinburg Club family, Pigeon Forge Club family or Melissa Dove you may list that in the comment section. Otherwise we will divide the money based upon the need. Your donation will be tax deductible and you will receive a receipt immediately via e-mail.
100% of all donations will go directly to one of these families.

Thanks, Scot! All help appreciated. My brother is donating the use of his surviving property to his neighbors while they rebuild. Another concern is for his housekeeping crew who's properties just went from 10 down to 2. Hopefully they'll make ends meet until things are rebuilt...
