TOWNSEND, Tenn.(AP)— Violent thunderstorms swept through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, toppling massive trees throughout the popular tourist spot and killing at least two people. Park spokeswoman Melissa Cobern said Friday that a man on a motorcycle was killed, as was a 41-year-old woman who was struck by a falling tree. The names of the victims were withheld while their family members were notified. The storms hit Thursday evening at the west end of the 500,000-acre park on the Tennessee-North Carolina line. Most of the damage appeared to be in the popular Cades Cove area of the park and in communities just outside the park boundaries. "There was a lot of rain, a lot of wind. A lot of people lost power," said Sandy Headrick, a resident of the small town of Townsend on the edge of the park near Cades Cove. "We had some friends who had a tree hit their home," she said. "They're all right, but the house is gone. It came through the roof and took out the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room." Headrick, who has owned the Highland Manor Inn in Townsend for 30 years, said the storm was very unusual in that it blew out of the north and east. The wind usually comes out of the west, she said. Power didn't go out at the inn, and Headrick was able to put up people who had planned to go to the national park. Although multiple injuries were reported in the park, Headrick said she believes everyone in the town is OK. "Everyone's out picking up branches and pulling tree limbs out of their pools.... We got a lot of clean-up to do." |

Judged: 2 2 1 I'm not sure what your agenda is by being excited by the untimely deaths of people, but it is very unpleasant. I'm guessing you suffer from the same dysfunction as all those Baptist fundamentalists who think destruction from natural disasters is Gods being angry about Gays, or the other Crazy Baptists who are happy to see soldiers die for the same reason. You are entitled to your opinion, but frankly it probably sucks to be your friend. |

Who cares other than you? NO ONE! |
It looks like you are the one who needs to learn to read (and spell for that matter!) The Westboro Baptist's are the ones who did the troop funerals but it was Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and others that blamed Hurricanes, Earthquakes and other things on social topics (like Gays, or non-Christian religion, etc) Also it is predominantly Southern Baptists that Murdered alleged abortion doctors, burn crosses in black people's yards and bombed the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. Good Job guys! |
