【eroticism vs sexual】

The eroticism vs sexualtown of Gatlinburg, Tenn., is just coming to grips with the wildfires that left at least 10 people dead.

Officials said about 75 people were injured, and recovery efforts are currently focusing on searching for more survivors, the Associated Press reported. A full day of rain helped settle the blaze by Thursday morning, revealing a heartbreaking path of debris and destruction.

The sheer heat of the flames was made all the more real by photographs capturing the aftermath. One image shows the empty shell of a car, its tires gone, aluminum hubcaps melted and metal dripping away from the vehicle.
