    Please consider donating to one or both of these organizations. They have been working since the beginning to provide aid to remote areas and locals. They're now looking to provide shelter for those in need. Believe it or not, as of the filming of this video on November 6th, there is still a need for many shelters for people displaced due to damaged or destroyed homes.

      Just waiting 4 the 27th Nov 4my ssi , $0.57 right now wouldn’t go far LOL. Though believe Everyone can pitch in something recovery will be long and so will be the need. Roll up Your Sleeves America. And stand up at this huge Land Grab from the Federal Government...... this act is treason to the public in need that they are supposed to Protect not rape them of their land after a disaster. It’s just UnAmerican!

    Content like this is VITAL. More people need to understand exactly what has happened here and what is continuing to take place. In times of disaster, it is always the PEOPLE that forge through. Not government. We were proud to donate what we could. Being north Florida residents and weathering 3 hurricanes in 14 months, we understand. We are also extremely aware that our situation is NOTHING compared to the scope of destruction and loss that y'all are enduring. Stay strong. We the people will preservere and continue to take care of each other.

    Living not far from Elk River in Banner Elk, I know that helicopters and small planes were what helped so much in the beginning up here the first few days after Helene hit. It's so much appreciated by many people who could not get out of their areas for days. Bless these people who helped so much in the remote areas!! They were the first sign of help coming and hope!!

    @12:03, He's absolutely right. Erwin, TN is 15 minutes south of me. They just fixed Hwy 26 bridge (that had washed away) going toward Asheville from Johnson City recently so I took a drive last week, and I started to cry as I drove through there. I knew what to expect, but I was shocked. There is nothing like seeing it with your own eyes, on the ground. I looked over at the hospital that was under water, where they rescued the patients and staff off the roof, it was unbelievable. The piles of trees and debris were monstrously tall, the trucks and equipment sitting next to it looked like matchbox cars and tonka play trucks. The massive amount of water and debris that settled in the aftermath blows me away, but to be caught up in it at the time, my God, what a terrifying experience. Now the waters are contaminated all down stream, don't know if the drinking water is safe. The area of devastation is the size of a European country. And then a month later, Spain was hit with the SAME catastrophic rainfall in short amount of time. LBJ once said, "He who controls the weather, will control the world."
