Update 

Tuesday evening report. After a day lounging in Knoxville on administrative leave, Rey was able to return to his apartment Tuesday evening. He had power but no Internet. 

I was relieved and happy for him. Then I was browsing news reports and found a link to a map showing where some of the buildings that burned were located. One is located just down the road from his apartment. On the map below the marker is a building that burned. Rey’s apartment is about above the word Spring in Spring Valley Road.

A bit closer than I had expected.

Tomorrow he is to report to work at the Townsend side of the park, away from Gatlinburg.

    Glad Rey and his apartment are okay. It wasn’t until he facebooked that he was safely evacuated that I realized there were fires in the Gatlinburg area. So scary.
