I am so very sorry this happened to ya'll. I pray for your rebuilding. I am an old lady and have been through many hurricanes in Florida, but nothing like this. Look forward not back. Stay safe and I will continue to pray for you. ❤
Just came across your video bcs I've been watching the damage across other videos. So sorry for the damages to your property and surrounding areas. Unbelievable what that hurricane did. Awful. Prayer's for you and your family from Ohio🙏🙏🙏
You all came out alive, keep that In mind, and turn in this blog to the insurance, and keep the prayers going and strat rebuilding if you want to stay there,right, thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen you are good and alive, thanks
So sorry about the force of nature and the damages but so grateful you are all well and safe!! Thank you for sharing sending you love and hugs from South Africa.....love Sharon
So grateful that you’re sweet family is OK. It’s so unreal that you guys would have this hurricane in the location that you are at. I am in Yulee, Florida and we are so used to hurricanes. It’s ridiculous. I still cannot believe that you guys had gotten this so bad just like you said it is unbelievable. My prayers will be with you and your family and your community along with everybody that was in the path of this hurricane. But you have a beautiful place there, it is absolutely beautiful and I know that the good Lord will help you get through this and to rebuild everything, and make it beautiful again. It’s a shame that our government has abandoned us, but they will help everyone else. But it does not surprise me, they’re evil and they have been for a long long time. So much thoughts and prayers will be with you, much love from Yulee, Florida
Thank you so much for your prayers. I hope you are okay from the hurricanes as well! I never thought anything like this could/would hit the mountains, but you never can tell about the weather anymore. We are much more fortunate than others in the WNC mountains, it is absolutely devastating over that way. We will rebuild, slowly but surely ♥️♥️ Appreciate you being here!
I am so sorry for your damage, grateful you all are safe, but it shocks me to see the damage in a place you don’t think would be flooded by hurricanes. Praying for the strength, money and help to get your lives back on track. I can see the stress on your husband on everything he has to do. We are in Northern Virginia and all we had was days of rain. I am so sorry you all had to endure this.
So very, very glad you are safe and your home and cows are safe, but as for the great images you made -- they are gut wrenching and were tearfully watched.
Sending prayers and keeping you all in my thoughts through the days, months and years to come. Grateful for you sharing this with us. Ready for the truth if all this weather warfare to come out. God is taking back America & the world. Be well. ❤🙏🇺🇸💥
Definitely it looks like a tornado came through your farm causing the damage. We live in the Martinsville area and had several warnings in our area but luckily no damages to report.
New sub here. Amazing the damage that this disaster has caused. You and your family have a beautiful farm, that thankfully was not as destroyed as so many others were. Watching different channels from all around the region has been an eye opener. I’ve been amazed at how your communities have come together and helped each other out. The number of folks collecting donations and on their own dime, bringing them into areas that have the need. Not surprised that the first chopper just did the fly over. Many of the small choppers are privately owned and operated and were bringing in supplies and doing rescues, until air space was shut down. This was not a “natural” disaster. The amount of rain you received leading into the perceived arrival of the hurricane and the hurricane stalling so far north depositing more, is more water than flows over Niagara Falls in two days. I live about 60 miles from the falls, have actually flown over them in a chopper, there is boat rides (Maid of the Mist) that take you to the base of the falls, you survived a storm with more power than I’ve witnessed at the falls. You can’t possibly put into words what you have witnessed, but you have captured it very well and I thank you for sharing it. I pray your family remains safe, that the livestock remain well and the rebuilding of your barns can be done quickly. God bless and stay strong. ❤🙏
We really appreciate your kind words and prayers, and we are so thankful for our community coming together. It’s been a lot to process, but I appreciate your time to watch the video and for your very nice comment. It was something I pray we never see or experience again. I hate anyone has to experience this type of weather.
We had flooding here in Tampa, water made it within an inch to come into my house. I have to admit when I observed all that exposed rock i got excited. we have NO rock here in Florida. I was building a wall, foundation and other things in my head when I observed the new stream bed. Great video. The massive tree damage had to be from a Tornado .
Hi so glad & relieved you, your beautiful family & animals were ok. Your home can be fixed it looks bad but take comfort that you were all unhurt. It must have been so frightening for all of you Helene sure was a catastrophic storm for thousands of people & many didnt make it, god bless & sending you all best wishes for the future & pray for no more storms as bad as this one. ❤ from the UK. 🙏🏻
So sorry for all your loss. I know you must be so frustrated and hurt. I am so glad that the Lord saved your home, your animals, but most of all you r family. Please know you will continue to be in my prayers. Love you. I am still very proud of you and what you have accomplished.
I am so sorry for all you have suffered. I find it so hard to believe that a hurricane that usually happens around water caused this much damage, May God help us all from a corrupted government.
Gosh you guys get Hurricanes, I thought. But this one came in cat 5! PTL you didn't loose your house etc.! N.C.is washed away in wt was beautiful mountains! Hope your Ins. helps you guys out! God Bless you & yours!
I know I am SO thankful our home withstood the winds. It was very scary. I am absolutely devastated for the folks in WNC… Our insurance helped some but not for the full cost of rebuild. In the process of hopefully getting a low interest loan 🤞🏼 Appreciate your support ♥️
So sorry for what you’re going through!!! Maybe host a volunteer day? Or reach out to the Amish try to organize a barn raising. Will be praying for y’all’s strength and perseverance in this difficult time. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
I live in ohio and I'm so so sorry for your loss , and all of western and Ashville Carolina has been through. My prayer is that your recovery, and heeling, an rebuilding is fast so you all can get back normal living once again, I pray FINACHALY you all recieve the help you need God bless you all , our hearts are all with you during horrible time that this hurricane has done to you I will subscribe to your channel I hope that by me viewing it helps you get some money God bless your family
Everything,below the high water mark , should never ever be rebuilt below that mark, if you think it won’t happen again, you are heading for more problems, need to built and move to higher property,ok prayers for you to get out of that river bed and related areas, ok praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏, thanks BigAl California
Hannah. I am so sorry my heart is breaking to see you're beautiful farm and the devastation I cannot imagine how you feel. You and Dakota camp your plays so nice neat and clean and to see the barn I don't have the words to say. I talked to your mom and dad and they told me that y'all were all right it was just the barns. I'm so thankful that you still have your home and each other. But I know you and Dakota we'll have this cleaned up and fixed up it'll just take time but I know that you can do it. And I'm so thankful that you're all right I love y'all
Of all the videos I’ve watched from y’all I just realized where you lived🤦🏼♂️ I can through there Saturday after the storm so I know just how bad it actually is. We had a lot of tornado activity up on the mtn just above y’all.
Howdy! It was something. Never thought it would get like that here. We are so blessed though; I feel so badly for Taylor's Valley and WNC. We can't tell if ours was a tornado or just extreme speeds of straight line winds. Regardless, I hope it is something we NEVER see again.
We live in the same area , we are in Mouth of Wilson right near Grayson Highlands Park, when we were able to get out on Saturday I couldn’t believe the damage , some houses along the Big Wilson creek were completely gone 🙁🙁
I know, it was heartbreaking to see the devastation. 😔 My grandparents live over that way, but thankfully they didn’t receive much damage. I hope you are okay too!
May the Lord Jesus Christ give you strength and courage through your trials, and bless you. My heart aches for the people all up thru the hurricane path. Love and prayers from Alberta Canada.
It looks like you did better than some of the surrounding properties? Are you going to be able to remove, stack, and peel off pieces and sections of the structures for reuse and rebuilding?
We did make it out better than ones who received flooding in their homes. Luckily up the road at our other farm, there wasn’t much wind damage. Most of the wind damage seemed to happen from our home farm towards Damascus. Unfortunately we were not able to save any of the barn, it has to be fully rebuilt. Some of the metal barn is salvageable, but we are going to sell the good from it to offset some cost of the new build.
@@mrs.shumate Definitely look at the break patterns from the tree portions remaining from the topped trees. Also at the break point of the downed tops. What you're looking for are swirling breaks versus wind gust breaks. In general, a broken off tree top with a lot of its branches missing/ broken around the trunk versus one side is an indicator that it was swirling like a top on its way down. - By definition we don't have tornados in our area but over the past 10 years or so we have a lot what I call "swirly whirly winds". When the tree tops start breaking off, take care. They can sail like a kite on the wind current (straight on, with a gust, or spinning like a top) for "a bit" and are VERY unpredictable; they are also very heavy if they're from a big tree.
@@terryhenderson424 I thought the same thing when I saw the clip of the trees with the tops snapped off. That looks like classic tornado damage. Florida broke a record with the number of tornados in Milton. Climate change is not real right? I vote for the scientist that say yes climate change is real. Mother Nature is screaming at us that she sent a Hurricane to Virginia mountains to get everyones attention. But it's not out there on the national media.
Grace with Jesus Christ on the cross from God ,paid for the live, and this was not from God mit came from natural nature laws of, ok thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen 🙏
It's 3:30 am my time on October 25th and this is the 1st video I've seen about damage from Helene in SW VA. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this. I'd like to ask you: Has your area received help from the rest of the country (or locals)? I've watched probably close to 50 (probably more) videos about all the recovery efforts currently going on in western North Carolina. And, I'm just curious if your area is receiving anywhere near the level of assistance from regular Americans like the people in western NC are?
Thank you for watching! Most of our help has been from local people. It’s amazing how the community has come together to support each other ♥️ if it wasn’t for them, I’m not sure what we would have done.
My friends dad harkey farmer lives in taylora valley. That area got hit hard by creek flood waters. Destroyed the highways and knocked out their bridges.
“For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.” Isaiah 25: Just watched your video and could feel your pain for your losses and yet thankful you can still see your blessing of all you didn’t loose through it all. So many have lost so much it’s hard to know where to even help but praise God he is bigger than all of this and he still hears and answers our prayers and all of us can pray. My prayer to you, your family and your neighbors is that God fully restore all you’ve lost plus more and he lift up your faith in this season of storm. God bless you all. Love in and through Christ our Lord and Savior.
God bless you and your family. We can't all be there to physically help you fix all this but know we are doing anything and everything possible from afar to get you the help you'll need to recover. Most importantly, we are lifting your community and the countless others affected by this tragedy up before our Lord constantly. Stay strong, put one foot in front of the other and moving forward. We will get through this IN SPITE OF BEING ABANDONED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHO HAS BILLIONS AND BILLIONS FOR UKRAINE BUT NOTHING FOR THOSE WHO PAID THE TAX DOLLARS THEY EAGERLY GIVE AWAY TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITH COMMIE TYRANT DICTATORS AND USE TO FUND WARS!! God bless you all!
I appreciate your kind words so much. We have some wonderful friends, neighbors, and community. It has really brought us together. It is unfortunate that our government hasn’t offered more support. But we will rebuild, slowly but surely ♥️
Thank God, Prays 🙏🏻 working, thank God you have home, and farm, and Machinery are still okay but what you're saying about North Carolina yes it's very awful and it looks like a war zone that's why you have to word it I've been watching on RUclips I'm from North West Pennsylvania we have been praying for all of you North Carolina Tennessee Virginia all the way down towards Florida who had been going through the hurricane, it's very sad what's really awful how people passed away and I'm so grateful Virginia wasn't hit very hard wow I didn't it was 150 mph wind but you could see over in North Carolina when the helicopters fly over it hadn't been about 4 or 6 tour the way the trees get swirl knocked over and then it got a dirt cuz it was so wet and then it made the river even wider on both sides they had or look like a tornado came through and disgust of dirt. Thank God you have farm animals also a lot of farmers crops are destroyed and that water is polluted between oil and factories the one of them was they make the PVC pipes can I use chemicals also so now they're realizing even the soil is demolished they can't grow anything. Now hopefully they get some rain soon cuz they have any rain since the hurricane and up here in Pennsylvania where same way it's been a month now they're for warning people do not burn cuz those leaves are going to cause a fire and I just seen it on the news Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina or having a fire so if you see bad smoke that's why are smelling it one of the farmers don't live too far like a half an hour or so a pair Northwestern Pennsylvania they had a fire also they were able to get it out for the whole entire day and get the fire out God bless you guys I'm so glad to hear a good story and how you came through all of it by the grace of God. Keep pray 🙏🏻, do not give up, it had to be hard to see that mess. Still find people who past away Nov 3 rd. .
By ‘enemy’ you mean Mother Nature? Cuz I’m currently working my 20th hurricane in my 18 year career and I still haven’t met an “enemy”. Be educated, these good folks need less conspiracy and fear and more generosity and hope.
So many trees need to be replanted. If you don't it's just going to get worse😢 So much work is going to be needed to cut up and remove all the fallen trees because if you don't it's going to be a fire hazard😢😢
Sharing everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior. Religions cannot save. Only Jesus Christ saves.
I believe this disastrous time we are now experiencing has been triggered by our current administration which has brought on these evils upon us. Go with God and America while you can.
Calling all CAR dealerships who have used automobile and donate to flood victims who lost their vehicles then let dealerships have tax breaks on their taxes.. please help 🙏
I am so very sorry this happened to ya'll. I pray for your rebuilding. I am an old lady and have been through many hurricanes in Florida, but nothing like this. Look forward not back. Stay safe and I will continue to pray for you. ❤
Thank you so much! I am so sorry you’ve had to experience many hurricanes. It’s something I hope to never experience again.

Praying for you as you go through the aftermath. May God give you strength.
So grateful that you’re sweet family is OK. It’s so unreal that you guys would have this hurricane in the location that you are at. I am in Yulee, Florida and we are so used to hurricanes. It’s ridiculous. I still cannot believe that you guys had gotten this so bad just like you said it is unbelievable.

You're a blessed mom!!
Thanks, I appreciate it, safety is always a priority with our little man ☺️
Definitely it looks like a tornado came through your farm causing the damage. We live in the Martinsville area and had several warnings in our area but luckily no damages to report.
So hoping things get better for you & your family, happy all are safe, so many were not.
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate the support as we rebuild.
I am so sorry youall are going through this nightmare. God bless you all.🙏🙏🙏🙏

We appreciate your kindness. It has been unimaginable.
So sorry. My momma grew.up in Russell and Wise county area and I am glad she isn't alive to see this. She would have 98
I have said the same thing about my husbands grandfather. He would have been beside himself.
Sunset beautiful
This was hard to watch! I’m so sorry for all the loss on your farm.
It was definitely a tough few days, but we are hopefully on to brighter days ♥️
Gosh you guys get Hurricanes, I thought. But this one came in cat 5! PTL you didn't loose your house etc.! N.C.is washed away in wt was beautiful mountains!
Hope your Ins. helps you guys out!
God Bless you & yours!
I know I am SO thankful our home withstood the winds. It was very scary. I am absolutely devastated for the folks in WNC…
Our insurance helped some but not for the full cost of rebuild. In the process of hopefully getting a low interest loan 🤞🏼
Appreciate your support ♥️
So sorry for what you’re going through!!! Maybe host a volunteer day? Or reach out to the Amish try to organize a barn raising. Will be praying for y’all’s strength and perseverance in this difficult time. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Appreciate your kind words! ♥️ We actually hired a Mennonite family to rebuild our barn. Can’t wait to see the process, and of course share.

Prayers for your strength to get through this. Did Logan WV have any damage? Thanks
Thank you! I am honestly not sure

I hope your cattle are safe
All cattle are safe and accounted for, we are SO thankful!
I would of used all the downed trees to make a makeshift fence for those cows..there were enough downed trees to heat a lot of homes next year !
Yes, if anyone needs wood for their stoves, we’ve got it covered!
I saw a directional road sign to the Seventh-day Adventist church. Is the church damaged? I have prayed for your family.
Thankfully, the church is okay. We appreciate your prayers!
It's 3:30 am my time on October 25th and this is the 1st video I've seen about damage from Helene in SW VA.

It would've been something to have a time lapse because it sure looks like a tornado hit that shelter
So sorry,I live in Florida
Glad you're all ok. Wow 😮 not sure what to say. Extra hugs all around.
We are so grateful for all the support! ❤️

“For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.”
Isaiah 25:
Just watched your video and could feel your pain for your losses and yet thankful you can still see your blessing of all you didn’t loose through it all. So many have lost so much it’s hard to know where to even help but praise God he is bigger than all of this and he still hears and answers our prayers and all of us can pray. My prayer to you, your family and your neighbors is that God fully restore all you’ve lost plus more and he lift up your faith in this season of storm. God bless you all. Love in and through Christ our Lord and Savior.
I appreciate your kind words so much! Thanks for being here!
Did you save all the cows that was in the pen ?😮😢
God bless you and your family. We can't all be there to physically help you fix all this but know we are doing anything and everything possible from afar to get you the help you'll need to recover. Most importantly, we are lifting your community and the countless others affected by this tragedy up before our Lord constantly. Stay strong, put one foot in front of the other and moving forward. We will get through this IN SPITE OF BEING ABANDONED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHO HAS BILLIONS AND BILLIONS FOR UKRAINE BUT NOTHING FOR THOSE WHO PAID THE TAX DOLLARS THEY EAGERLY GIVE AWAY TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITH COMMIE TYRANT DICTATORS AND USE TO FUND WARS!! God bless you all!
I appreciate your kind words so much. We have some wonderful friends, neighbors, and community. It has really brought us together. It is unfortunate that our government hasn’t offered more support. But we will rebuild, slowly but surely ♥️
Thank God, Prays 🙏🏻 working, thank God you have home, and farm, and Machinery are still okay but what you're saying about North Carolina yes it's very awful and it looks like a war zone that's why you have to word it I've been watching on RUclips I'm from North West Pennsylvania we have been praying for all of you North Carolina Tennessee Virginia all the way down towards Florida who had been going through the hurricane, it's very sad what's really awful how people passed away and I'm so grateful Virginia wasn't hit very hard wow I didn't it was 150 mph wind but you could see over in North Carolina when the helicopters fly over it hadn't been about 4 or 6 tour the way the trees get swirl knocked over and then it got a dirt cuz it was so wet and then it made the river even wider on both sides they had or look like a tornado came through and disgust of dirt. Thank God you have farm animals also a lot of farmers crops are destroyed and that water is polluted between oil and factories the one of them was they make the PVC pipes can I use chemicals also so now they're realizing even the soil is demolished they can't grow anything. Now hopefully they get some rain soon cuz they have any rain since the hurricane and up here in Pennsylvania where same way it's been a month now they're for warning people do not burn cuz those leaves are going to cause a fire and I just seen it on the news Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina or having a fire so if you see bad smoke that's why are smelling it one of the farmers don't live too far like a half an hour or so a pair Northwestern Pennsylvania they had a fire also they were able to get it out for the whole entire day and get the fire out God bless you guys I'm so glad to hear a good story and how you came through all of it by the grace of God. Keep pray 🙏🏻, do not give up, it had to be hard to see that mess. Still find people who past away Nov 3 rd. .
The Caterpillar survived, little victories…
You’ve got that right! So thankful equipment wasn’t hurt!
@@mrs.shumate maybe an angel protected that for you, I just don’t believe in coincidences anymore. I’m 64, and that was, maybe…Divine😘
The enemy is really going after people with strong churches and families. God bless you all with much help and blessings.
Thank you for your kindness and support!
I'm not sure politics are appropriate at this time.
Stay strong in our Lord
By ‘enemy’ you mean Mother Nature? Cuz I’m currently working my 20th hurricane in my 18 year career and I still haven’t met an “enemy”. Be educated, these good folks need less conspiracy and fear and more generosity and hope.
So many trees need to be replanted. If you don't it's just going to get worse😢
So much work is going to be needed to cut up and remove all the fallen trees because if you don't it's going to be a fire hazard😢😢
Sharing everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior. Religions cannot save. Only Jesus Christ saves.

Glad cows were ok and it all could have been worse
Of course, we’re thankful to still have our home and all of our animals! Many blessings all around!
I believe this disastrous time we are now experiencing has been triggered by our current administration which has brought on these evils upon us. Go with God and America while you can.
🤡
Yeah, it's quite strange that this hurricane was so destructive that far north
Was your house ok?
Thank you for asking, yes, by the grace of God our house made it! We are so thankful!
@ amen

Do you need volunteer help in Damascus?

The US needs a Nuremberg Type Trial ! Or nobody would have been speeding up climate change like this with weather Warfare.
The coal plants are the weather weapons
