DESTRUCTION ALONG NEWFOUND GAP ROAD |GSMNP| January Storms Leave Path Of Damage 

I love your smooth delivery, your knowledge of the area and your overall professionalism.

Awesome video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks for keeping us updated on everything about the Smokey Mountains..... you all do a great job..... These were just the trees by the roadway, imagine how many fell throughout the park

Another great job, Eric! Thank you so much! Nature has its good, bad and ugly sides. Unfortunately, so does mankind.

Hi, Eric! It's so heartbreaking to see the woods all torn up like that. Fires, floods, now this? We're wondering why all that good wood couldn't be donated to needy folks for next year's firewood, artisans to create lovely things with, for fenceposts, building-anything but just lying there, being wasted. That's idiotic, and contributes to fire danger. And we hope that hikers are warned that trees, and limbs are cracked and damaged above still so no one gets hurt. Folks don't seem to think about that after wind and ice storms, especially out of towners. And the heavy tourist season is nearly here! Thanks, Eric for keeping we Smoky lovers updated, for better or worse. Love to your girls! 🙂❤️🌳

amazing, alot of damage. nature can not always be nice. thank you for sharing.

I agree with you Eric. Common sense seems to not be a quality they look for in managing our woodlands. I've gone through the park many times and thought the same thing you have. Love your channel.

Eric you do a wonderful job filming. Big thumbs up. Yep the storms can do some damage for sure. . Nice video. Take care❤ beautiful family wowwww

Good video, that was a lots of trees down, looking bad 😮 mother nature at work

Thank you for sharing.

Oh boy - I'm in Walland and I remember this - lightning bolt struck the apt I rent out on my property - renter had moved but it took out the heater and friend the thermostat......then when the snow hit my pipes under the apartment and in the ceiling of the garage broke - couldn't afford to fix that so I just had to turn off the water and wait until I can get help! What a mess!

Wow! What a lot of storm damage

😭😭 Were you filming near the big pull out at MM9.78 (just up from The Loop) that goes down to the river? I'm afraid to even know what that looks like now. It was our engagement spot. We went down to the river from the pull out.

O my! 😯

Can they collect the trees use it as lumber or firewood? I was @ Cancun Mexican restaurant. It was Awesome

I could imagine what an 100mph storm do there

I get weather info for the Smokies as I have extended family there. I remember when the wind advisories went out

I guess we will see it when we come that way

Eric my problem with the park service is they charge for the parking permit so they would have money to do more work in the park and that's great. but whoever is in charge should know there is more than one way to clean up a fallen tree. they obviously had a front end loader to push everything over the side with and we know they have dump trucks to haul it off ,, that wood could have been given to people to heat with, and you can contract with people to haul it out but instead just leave it to rot over the next 25 years and make the park look like crap that makes no sense to me as far as habitat there is already plenty there.. this practice of leaving all this laying on the ground added to the fire situation a few years back so what could this add to any future catastrophic fire..why not work with local people and work out a future plan to clean it up instead of piling it up this is just my opinion because we love the smokeys
