they've still got crowds of tourists in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Although, I understand that some of the attractions are finally beginning to close down.

This is going to be a cluster of biblical proportions.

Dump Trump.

Gov. Has been MIA. Some Mayors (mainly blue ones) have been on top of things.

Bipartisan County emergency response has been doing everything they can in metro areas
