Flash Flooding Hits Dollywood

A severe thunderstorm brought flash flooding to Dollywood, a popular theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, on Sunday.

The park was hit with torrential downpours that flooded the park and parking lots, some of which were under 3 feet of water in spots.

Thankfully the reports are that only one person reportedly sustained a minor injury during the storm, as the pictures look like this could have been worse.

The flooding even some stranded after their cars were flooded. There’s been plenty of photos and videos coming out of the area too, here are just some of them, including some from our own Facebook page.

Note: we’ve tried to give the correct photo credit on our Facebook page, but some of these images have been reshared many times possibly with the incorrect name. Let us know on FB if these are yours and we’ll update them.

Images are surfacing of some insane flooding at Dollywood today!
