- This is an update / aftermath of the flooding from Greeneville TN. at the Nolichucky Dam to the French Broad River and the Pigeon River in Newport TN. from Hurricane Helene.
Also a look at the aftermath in Downtown Newport TN.
Much help and prayers are needed for all in the area!!!
Almost all people in the area have been negatively affected by Helene.
Homes and businesses have been completely destroyed. Those that are not are without electric, water, food, and cell service.
In Greene County, the pumping station supplying most of the county with water has been destroyed.
The Nolichucky Dam took on 1.2 Million gallons per second of water which is nearly double what Niagara Falls sees during its peak of 700,000 gallons per second. Thankfully the dam held.
Downtown Newport in Cocke County was heavily flooded and many businesses and homes being destroyed. Also in Cocke County, there are 2 fatalities due to the flooding. I-40 from TN to NC has been closed due to the flooding and mudslides. Many other roads are damaged or gone.
SO much more damage in other counties as well.
It's going to be a long recovery. Stay mountain strong!!!
Thank you for watching!!!
We will continue to try and give updates as they are available and as we can. We are fine, but do lose electric at times and have no water for the foreseeable future.
Thinking of you all from MN 🙏 The TN hills have always had a special place in my heart. This is so devastating 💔
@@DodgeDiaries Thank you...we are all working together, neighbors helping neighbors. TN mountain strong!!! 💪
Thank you for thinking of us!!! ❤️
Thank you for the update. My friend comes back today and survey the damage at her house in Newport. Prayers for all!
@@fullofgracehomestead we pray her house is ok!!! ❤️ Thank you!
@@haveasteph-n-leeday thank you
Thank you for taking the time to film this video. Great work!
@@BonnieCreates thank you!!! Now we just need to find a gas station that actually has gas. Thank you again for the comment ❤️
Just found you guys. Greene County here, also. When i was told that the river was threatening to top Kinser Bridge, i refused to believe it. That's around 80 feet from the bridge to the river under normal conditions. Simply unbelievable. Threw you a sub, btw.
@@MitziFranklin Thank you neighbor!!! I think we are still in shock. We are 7 minutes from the Nolichucky Dam (up on a hill). Never did I think anything like this could happen here. Thank you again for the comment, watching and the subscribe. ❤️
@haveasteph-n-leeday That's about the same distance that I am from Bird's Bridge. The structural damage to it was irreparable, so they are planning to demolish what's left and build anew.
@MitziFranklin 😢 some of our best friends live over on Carmel Hill, and we would use Birds Bridge to get to their house. Now we have to take the long way around. I'm actually shocked that the bridge is still there. ❤️
I’m in Knoxville - and TN has been hit very hard . But western NC is total devastation. My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected regardless of where they are. It is a natural disaster that will be remembered for many generations.
@@lisaorourke2146 Amen! We are just over the mountain from Hot Springs NC. So many people we've met through our videos from NC and we don't know if they are ok or not. Praying for their well being and future support. So much loss! 😭
Thanks for content,MSM mainly ignoring us . This speaks volumes of what we need in WH
@@sheltonsaved2001 Amen!!! Thankfully folks here help each other. Thank you for the comment!!! ❤️ I made it through Del Rio today, not sure how it turned out yet. Just horrible!!!
Thank you for showing me because again my best friend is in Greeneville helps me so much
@@adaytripp here in Greeneville we will be without water for....a week or more. ❤️
@@haveasteph-n-leeday my best friend said no water for him either 😭
@@haveasteph-n-leeday praying for expedited favor from God for water
@@adaytripp yes!!! Thank you...it's going to get stinky without showers round here!!! 😁 Or the neighbors will get an eye full next time it rains! 🫣
Thank you for reporting. We want to know and see but won't go out ourselves.
That's a good choice. I can't believe the traffic, it's insane. But I guess with certain roads closed it makes a mess of the others. Haven't been to Kinser Park yet. Tried to get to the Kinser Bridge (well it's gone but) can't even get close. Might try to go to Del Rio if I can get in there.

@@LAT-qk3vj You're welcome...we will, won't even put ourselves or others in danger over a video. Thank you!!! ❤️
I'm glad you're safe! Much love from Knoxville! There is a Russian restaurant called Grill 73 in Newport with the nicest owners. Im really worried about them. They were right next to the river.
Grill 73 is not in a good way. We stopped by there, video posts tomorrow. 😢
Thank you for the comment!!! ❤️
@@haveasteph-n-leeday Thanks, buddy.
Thanks
You're welcome!!! ❤️
Wow that's crazy! 😮 What a mess! I hate that you guys got so much damage, BUT, your footage was excellent! This may be your best video. With the exception that Stephanie wasn't in it...😂
Really good job on this, and glad to see your being cautious too.
@@Russojap2 I was there, in the car. Thank you for everything!!! 💕
Congratulations on the video, it was excellent, Greenville is a wonderful city, I hope to visit one day. I started a channel here on RUclips recently and record in the same way here in Brazil. I signed up, I will follow you from now on. A big hug !!!🙂
@@ScenicWalk Thank you!!! ❤️ We will check out your channel...stick with it. ❤️
Weather warfare 😔☁️
Nothing would shock me at this point.
Devastating is an understatement, where is the military to help rebuild?
@@janeicegilmore98 no sign of the federal government...yet...that I've seen. Neighbors helping neighbors right now. I don't like to get political, but I heard Biden sent 700 Tennessee Nat. Guard members to Kuwait. They are needed here!!! Thank you for the comment and God Bless!!!
Ukraine.
@@BabsKaz yes, Ukraine, illegals, Iran, Israel, and more.
🙏💞🙏
Thank you!!! ❤️
You could not have gotten those rocks cleaner with a pressure washer. Wow. (Talking about Nolichucky Dam the rocks on the banks.)
Right!!! Just wild. Thank you for the comment
I would worry about the erosion where that road is, to be honest it looks like a road that shouldn't exist there anyways, and now partially doesn't. I'll have to put some kind of erosion protection.
@@KCH55 There are so many roads that are gone or partially gone. Thank you for the comment!!! ❤️
I wonder what the Kinser park area looks like
@@tnbassin8307 Haven't been over there. From what I hear, it's a mess. Thank you for the comment...if I get over that way we'll let you know. ❤️
@@haveasteph-n-leeday Thank you...I wonder how the little lake with the boat ramp made out. It probably got filled in with mud and trees.
@@tnbassin8307 I can tell you that the boat ramp outside Del Rio towards Hot Springs is covered in mud.
My uncle lost his brand new house on the french broad. Alot of those people didnt have flood insurance..
@@KE458S Sooo sad!!! That's why it's so important to get the word out. A lot of people in the area here need help!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! ❤️ We will keep your uncle in our prayers!
Looks like the water got higher in Newport than Ithought it did.
@@cathiwim It was bad...a lot of places are a total loss.
@@cathiwim and Thank you!!! ❤️
My heart is with all of yall in all states its absolute nightmare SO Many lives lost we dont even know yet and i just wish theyed use our military NG and every single thing we had to help ! Not overseas for more deatg and destruction
I couldn't agree more! Our corrupt government is too busy funding wars and being the police of the world while Americans suffer. Shame!!! Thank you for your comment!!! ❤️
was timberfell resort /lodge affected? that's an lgbt place.
@@jerryalexander6018 I don't know... didn't even know it existed!!! I just looked it up. 🤔
