Blessed Rain

I awoke this morning to thunder and lightning.It was a wonderful sound. The rain is currently very heavy. I'm not sure when it started but it came too late to save the many structures to say nothing about the park itself. It is just incredibly sad to see the devastation to our beautiful Smokey Mountains.about 140 homes have been destroyed. The volunteer spirit is alive and a lot of rebuilding will take place. Westgate Resort with 100 buildings was destroyed. It was a beautiful resort and Richard worked there until he retired. Lots of memories....later
