Flash floods are no joke, and this time, Dolly Parton's beloved Tennessee-based theme park, Dollywood, had to suffer the consequences. On Sunday, July 28, a strong thunderstorm surprised park visitors, causing a scary flash flood. Multiple areas of the park quickly filled with water, and videos shared online by park visitors themselves show gushing canals of muddy water rising up to their ankles and, at times, their calves."Careful!" says a park visitor and a TikTok poster, visually summarizing the situation.
