First look inside Gatlinburg on Tuesday

GATLINBURG, Tenn. (WDEF) – TDOT’S Mark Nagi got access today to drive through downtown Gatlinburg this morning.

His video shows a smokey, ghost town. But most buildings are still standing.

Nagi also drove up to Ober Gatlinburg. The ski lodge is still standing, but the buildings on the road there didn’t fare so well.
