Violent thunderstorms swept through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee on Thursday, toppling massive trees throughout the popular tourist spot and killing at least two people, including Ralph Frazier, 50, of Buford. Frazier was the owner of Frazier’s Harley-Davidson on Friendship Road, which posted a notice about the accident on its website Friday. “Ralph Jr. was killed late (Thursday) afternoon when a tree blew off the mountain during a storm and struck him while riding his motorcycle near Cades Cove on Little River Road,” the statement reads.
