Gatlinburg is weird, though, as it's mostly hotels. So a lot of people have connections, even if they don't live there.
FYI. Paradise,CA permanent population 26.6K. Gatlinburg, TN (Remember that one?) permanent population? 4.1K. Paradise is 541% larger. #CampFirepic.twitter.com/fdltM6yK3n

That's why I mentioned permanent population. I realise that there is a lot of transient / tourism in Gatlinburg.

Along that same line of thinking, the economic damage (infrastructure / property loss etc.) might be similar for the two (I have no data for this but probably within an order of magnitude). But the number of people's lives impacted homes, business, etc. will likely be larger here

Wow. Your are completely correct. I couldn't imagine.

I’m from paradise, and if you add in Magalia it’s close to 40 thousand. Was absolute chaos
