Good to see you’re dad he is looking good after his surgery carry on with your clean up glad you’re all okay 👍
Thanks
Thank God you have heavy duty equipment and I am very pleased to know you guys had no injuries! 😊
Ryan, please know that our prayers are with everyone that is struggling right now. That is the best we can do since we can't be boots on the ground.
Speechless. May the good Lord give you the strength to push on.
My heart feels for you and your family and your whole area. Living my whole life in south FL we've been thru what you now face and wish everyone a speedy recovery. In an area like yours that rarely sees storms like this the trees are not ready for the wet ground and high winds so you will expect much tree damage and road blockage. Your power distribution system will take some time to be repaired so simple things like getting gas beccomes challenging until the gas stations have power restored so conserve as much fuel as you can. Be careful as many injuries happen after the storm has passed from people attempting to make repairs. You all have my prayers and wishes for a prompt return to some sense of normalcy, Treat all downed power lines as hot until verified as safe, some will be energized and are extremely dangerous. God bless. Ray
Sending hugs from the Blizzard City of Buffalo,NY. In my 71 years, I learned to expect no help for at least 3 to 4 days. We help each other until assistance can get through. You guys rock! Excellent your son and family are there too. Prayers for all in that awful hurricane.❤
Prayers are going out to all people 🙏 affected by the storm and the lives lost.
I'm glad your family and the Landfill Employees got through without injury. On the bright side... you're gonna have plenty of green waste to compost, and trees to mulch!
My retired husband has been up there since.12 hours.of.it passing. He.loaded his bobcat, grapple.and chainsaws.and.headed.that way from.NW Georgia. He did.this after Katrina and.was gone almost 2 months. Sleeping in the back.of.his truck in a camper.shell. :)
Much appreciated!!!!!
holy crap that electrical stuff is mind boggling wow i wish every one a safe and timely cleanup and recovery good luck from hot and sunny socal
You sir are going to be the community anchor. Just glad all of you are safe and well, it comes to one issue at a time and then just do the best you can. Prayers are with you all. Thanks for the update, wish you well at the land fill.
Don’t get discouraged, everything will work out in the end and new trees will grow giving y’all a nice fresh green canopy. Much love from Louisiana!
I'm really glad your able to help your community!!! Wish I could help yall 😢
Well greetings from Greenville South Carolina back in the dark ages
Glad y'all are all right and able to transmit
So we can all say trees trees are blocking our way trees trees they got to go
Glad to hear everyone is safe in your extended family and the crew. I was concerned about y'all. Keep us informed as best you can even if it doesn't make good videos. We feel useless and want to be a part of the solution (but we can't). A lot of us would love to be there to help out. You're in our thoughts.
My prayers are with you and be safe during the cleanup, it is going to be a long time getting back to normal.🙏
You have been on my mind and prayers after the first video. I know you’re in the midst of chaos and looks like you will be for quite cosmetology time. It’s good to know your family and friends are healthy.
Glad you guys are ok. It’s unbelievable how bad some of the areas west and north of you got hit. I’d imagine you guys are as busy as a one armed paper hanger down there. Not sure you you got this upload unless you got internet back just glad you did. Stay safe bud
Happy to see you and yours are in one piece and hope you all all stay that way in the aftermath …time to heal and help other do the same !
Isabel did similar damage to southeast VA in 2003. It takes time, but you'll recover. It's much worse as far as the flooding damage and the hospital in TN closing. But that's due to poor planning by those who approved locating it in a potential flood zone. The roads that were washed out like I-40 have had engineering problems for years, so it really shouldn't be too much of a surprise that they're closed. We had engineering improvements after our experience. Hopefully, NC and TN will learn a lot from this. Glad you're okay and able to help your family which is the most important thing you can do. I have family in Landrum and Pelion. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you and your people/family are good, grace with Jesus Christ is the reason for the safety, FromGod in heaven only, it’s a big eye opening for some of you, God loves you and will keep you safe and after you are saved grace based you will be blessed, thanks BigAl California,praise Jesus Christ grace amen
Thanks for the updates Mr Digg , yes there is alot off cleaning up for sure , that was some mega storm there it was bigger than everyone thought , ok keep safe there to you all your going too be very very busy my friend , cheers 🍻
🍻
My heart goes out to you and your family I will be saying prayers for you all and a speedy and safe recovery be careful out there
Thank goodness everyone is okay, and glad your community has your equipment to get around. Be sure to get some rest before you wear yourself out!
You are the man with the plan and the heavy equipment. Prayers for all of ya'all.
You are somewhat fortunate to have access to heavy machinery, it will help you a lot. Keep on going, it will go back to normal again, in good time.
Very fortunate
One of the things I learned in putting my house and businesses and customers together again after Hurricane Ian was to take it easy. It’s going to be a long marathon, so take all the breaks you feel you need. Burning your self out trying to be a hero ain’t gonna do you nor nobody else any good.
Sorry for all the hardships you are going though buddy like you said it’s going to be awhile before things are back together all the best to ya 👍👋🇨🇦
Thanks for the footage. Now I can see how the cleanups from all of the destruction gets taken care of, even though you are showing just your area. Moving trees out of the road and driveways. We don't get too much storm damage in the summertime here in Michigan and the snowstorms in the winter are so much cleaner!
Damn brother. It’s bad. But good your family and friends are okay. Keep us updated. Best of wish’s you you and yours
happy to see everyone you know is safe, i realize that the next few weeks will be hectic for you but if you get a spare second could you let us know how the bee 🐝 hive are doing great video Ryan and thanks for taking the time to document this event.👍👍👍👍👍
Will try
Glad to see your ok. You are so right, material things can be replaced, people cannot.
Man I'm glad to hear yall are ok. Sucks about all the damage. Hopefully things will get better soon.
Ryan, 2 words .... NEW KOBELCO ! Glad you and yours are ok.
I think a good video that will have MANY views will be a whole house generator installed on your home. Lots of folks after this storm will be thinking of a home generator system. Need the video while it's still fresh in everyone's minds.
Looking like your area got hit real bad, Ryan...hope things get a lot better for you real soon, buddy.👍.
I am glad you and your son and family are ok
Hang in there Ryan, it will get better. Kleen up & recovery is buzzing along here in N. Fla where we got the Cat 4 & Cat 3 northeast eyewall.
Glad everyone is safe.
So many blessings for you. Heavy equipment! Your son. ❤ No major damage to your home (it's still inhabitable). FIREWOOD! Glad you & yours are doing ok!
Its still habitable. 😁
Slowly but surely it will all get done. Keep your chin up.❤
WooHoo A-Aron puts on his cape and saves the day…guys I feel sick to my stomach when I see all the damage y’all have suffered.
Praying for everyone affected. Stay Safe.
Thanks so much
Good to see you’re safe. God bless.
Ryan, my thoughts & prayers are with you. At least everyone that I personally know of (even if I haven't met you in person) has survived this devastation. You in SC, friends in Asheville, LD18 thankfully got missed, as well as others in his neck of the woods. God bless you all.
Very nice video of reality. Such a beautiful piece of land you have. With the natural selection of trees this last week, your place will be even prettier.
Nice to see you getting back to some kind of normal.
So glad you, your family, friends and employees are all safe.
Sorry for all the damage you all had. God bless all that lost loves ones.
Be careful and good luck with your clean up.
I thought you said once Jackson was 11, he looks to be 16 or 17, seems to be a very respectable young man. Good job.
He’s 16
A lot of folks are discovering holes in thier prepps; even the pepper-preppers. Sounds like you folks are going to be working on your underground shelter and getting your breaker box figured out. Consider a little annotated diagram that explains how your box works and then a checklist type set of directions; laminate this then hang on the outside of your box. Talk to those in the know 'cause there are ways (and stuff to buy) which enable hook-up from a generator to a breaker box which also helps prevent back feed.
Your on top of it Mr D an with the help you have
Your recycle yard should be completely full after this cleanup 👊🇺🇲👍 Glad your all ok 🇺🇲
Ryan you and the crew will get r dun Buddy hopefully things will get better soon
Man, all the cleanup. Your landfill will be the tallest mountain for miles. Disaster releif always seems to take forever but it will come. Getting people, supplies and equipment in place is time consuming. The poor people that had their entire community washed away is so heartbreaking, about puts a guy in tears. Thankfully everyone you know is safe and breathing. We were without power for 6 days during an ice storm without a generator, just about froze, 3 layers of clothes and covered in a blanket listening to a battery powered radio. Invested in a generator cause we are not gonna suffer through that again. Stock up on beer is a must in times like this.
If you live anywhere with natural disaster/power failure and use a generator to power your home you should always have your panel audited and clearly labeled for ease of use and even safety.
You will be OK, you have material damage but not human damage. Thats a good thing. I have been binge watching your videos, man my compliments with your great company, great machines and dedicated people. Greetings from the Netherlands 😊
Thanks to you all in the Netherlands
I installed a safety interlock and dedicated 100 amp outlet to my panel. The safety interlock keeps you from dying if you ever hit the main while the generator is running if power is coming in from the utility! It will not allow you to turn on both.
And illegal, here we had a power co. Worker die because someone backfed the power guy came to hook up power and was electrocuted..homeowner was responsible for his death.
@@Southalabamaoutdoorsdidn’t you read the part that it was SAFETY INTERLOCK. They are not illegal. That is what prevents what you are describing.
@@FixinCat was I talking to you?
@@Southalabamaoutdoorshe must not be aware of the YT policy that only the OP can explain that you're completely incorrect. Glad you straightened him out... I mean, you are absolutely wrong as the manual interlock is fine but who is he to tell you that, right....? Curious tho, while I cant explain how you're wrong about the interlock can i tell the OP that its not as much for the safety of the homeowner but rather for the lineman that might be restoring power and be at risk of lines which should be dead backfeeding and blowing up in their faces.
It is complete Disaster zone were y'all are It good Dat y'all have some equipment on hand to clean up & help folks be safe prayers are with y'all
Man I know the feeling! We went through the same with Katrina! Almost 4 weeks without power and 3 without water! It's tough living like that! Prayers are with yall and the people surrounding 🙏
You did a good job replacing the high-pressure PVC fittings. cleaning, and sanding looked great. You just need to let the glue cure for an hour or two, those are high-pressure lines.
Note to self just before a hurricane invest in waste management!
Lol
I hope you get sorted soon, viewing from County Sligo Ireland 🇮🇪 🇺🇦🤠🚲📷✍
24:00. You need to get a proper electrician out there to fix your generator hookup and bring it up to Code. Your setup is way too prone to mistakes (as seen by the cluster you went through) and you can easily backfeed to the utility and injure or kill a lineworker. Main breakers need an interlock kit to the generator breaker, and it all needs to be clearly labeled. Stay safe and watch for all hazards whike cleaning up.
I'd guess probably 90% of generator installs have no interlock or transfer switch down south. In Florida most people just backfeed straight from a generator through the dryer receptacle ...
So sorry 😢. Were watching stay safe.
Im sorry for the mess. We had 100+ mph winds here in iowa with Derecho hitting us. Feel your pain, but glad your all ok.
I feel for you having to listen to the generator. It was 5 weeks we were on one after Andrew. Both at home and at work. It may not seem like much but a local power company ( Center Point Energy ) is sending 250 people with trucks and equipment to NC to help out Dominion Energy. While the local companies still are repairing lines here in Florida. Florida has 25,000 customers without power while NC has over 300,000 customers without power. SC has nearly 400,000 customers without power. Once FPL gets all of its customers back on line, then those crews will likely go North to help out in GA, SC, NC, or VA. One thing the Southern States do have is a mutual aid pact. So State workers will also be joining in with the locals as requested by the other States. NC is going to need a lot of help in the Western part as will Eastern Tennessee.
Love the videos Ryan, keep up the great work! We run a metals scrap yard on Guam, looking to expand into green waste, your vids have been a great inside look at the landfill and green waste world!
Dad to the rescue I bet there will be a diesel generator set installed at your house by this time next year or before or i know I would be installing one with All the equipment close by we still keeping y'all in our prayers Bud cleanup will never end plus you will be opening new cell on this one im sure
Man I hate yall got so much damage buddy. Just always remember it could always be worse. God bless yall and prayers to everybody that lost a life.
Glad you and family ok and that you have equipment to clean up .God bless
Thanks 👍
@@TheRealMrDiGG Devin (IDigIt4), Chris, contop 3, dirt parfect, will unfortunately be very busy but fortunately they are there I have no doubt that they will not hesitate to help and make their equipment available to help the affected community (I am not quoted only because I believe that from a logistical point of view it would be more difficult to move your equipment since you are a dump and not a company that moves to the field to carry out work)
That reminds me of the hurricane that came through NC and SC in the 80's, it was 2 weeks before we were able to get to the grocery store. At least ya got all the equipment you could need to deal with the cleanup! We have another one forming up down here again, but it doesn't look like it is going to be comin your way!
I live in North Port Florida and went through hurricane Ian. Lived in Fl since 89 and have never went through a hurricanr that strong. lost trees in my yard luckilly none hit the house and my whole Neiborhood was flooded but water didnt get in the house thank god. Lost power for 8 days. I know what your all going through i live 20minuites frim the Gulf and the whole coast is desstroyed
I think you're going to need a bigger mulch yard when this is over Ryan.
Husqvarna saws are hard to beat. Kept hold of mine since '83 7 it's still going strong.
Dang it!!! Hopefully you have water by now. Continue Prayers
Everyone's concerned about the devastation from this hurricane 🌀 we hope everyone is safe and know that we're thinking about all of you.
Hope all of your workers are ok too and Larry and Scarlett.
When you get to a point where you have time to sit and think, you’ll need to make notes on things to do for future in case of emergency. Ie. Laminate a how to for the generator into the house. Things to make our life better in a no power situation? Etc. I am taking notes as people in your area go thru this so that I can purchase things and plan for things in a long term emergency situation.
That water line is a bit of a worry bro but no dought you will get it sorted. Is there anything Aaron can not do. Safe travels. Ken.
One good thing to see is everybody pulling together! The rest will come together in time.
Was your electrician back in the day licensed? There should be a separate transfer switch which allows either utility power or back feed power but not BOTH. Turning off those main panel switches is not enough because both back feed and utility can be switched on at the same time.
Dangerous setup. Should be a transfer switch on the exterior.
Weather channel is say another one is on the way it over Mexico in the pacific now,south, so probably need to get ready ,just in case, thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen amen 🙏
These storms are getting worse every year! That is why we left south Florida a little over a year ago. The biggest problem that we saw was getting home insurance. Companies are fleeing south Florida and the ones that remain are ripping home owners and taking years to pay, if there is a claim! We could not find an insurance company that would insure our home for replacement value and would only insure for the balance on the note, and was $5000.00 per year! We now live in Tennessee and pay $1000.00 per year.
It’s very bad but we have been through this all the time here in south Louisiana I was without power for over 30 days when hurricane Ida came through four years ago 😢
Seeing this is just insane, I don’t think in my life time I’ve seen a hurricane do so much damage inland this far, I’m at a loss of what to say, as I said in a previous post I’m just glad yall safe, that’s a big deal considering… 🙏
Looks like you guys got hit pretty hard like we did with Sandy. We didn’t have lights for 30 days. Plenty of tree work for about 10 months straight seven days a week but no gas for over 30 days. Gas lines everywhere no food was terrible. Hopefully you guys get up and running pretty quickly.
Labels and some basic instructions make all the difference … it would be smart to get some instructions laminated for that in the future. Well worth it when you have a situation.
Need a good solar generator on site with a backup…
At least you have water (pond) and buckets to flush the toilets!
Hope things keep improving for you all
went to Miami in 92 to rebuild after andrew. people had trouble navigating their own neighborhoods as everything was gone. apparently hurricanes spawn mini-tornados that do a lot of damage or so i heard.
Sometimes a car radiator hose can repair waterlines to get you by until real repairs can be made. Good luck.😊
Having that excavator sure is a good thing right now.
Good luck, you all have a lot of Work to do .
I want to know how in the heck the porta-potties were still upright! I saw you pass 2 of them and they were still standing tall.😂
lol, rebar stakes
We had an unusal ice storm for us a number of years ago. Hardly used chain saws werent particularly seen for salemuntil,Christmas and January some 9-10 months later. Another bunch went the following summer, @18 minths later but it was the second summer that a bunch were for sale. - And our area wasnt near as affected as many of the Helene areas. There are going to be folks still cutting rounds not only this summer but probably the summer after.
Be safe, New Zealand viewer.
At least your all safe and well and like other people put your lucky you have all the tools for a quick safe clean up stay safe
My heart goes out to you guys. Stay safe and watch out for chainsaw injuries. Ever thought of doing underground power lines ? Being from Canada it is funny to see a water line so close to the surface.
Prayers
The two weeks without power we had was awful b/c there was no-wind & people began burning. In my State outdoor burning requires 6-23 MPH winds, & I live in a non-attainment county so to comply with SIP Rules FEMA offered Storm Debris Pickup... but my fire Marshall was telling people to burn on their voicemail, getting them written up takes too long.
When things settle down, get an electrician to properly test and label all your breakers so you know what is what.
glad you are ok and everyone else
Looks like you were using Blue PVC glue. You have to give it a few hours to set before turning the water back on...
You doin right by using a slip fix, but you gotta primer both fittings
Write you a power up list from the generator. So that that anyone can hook up the generator power. Put the list in the electrical panel or on the doors of the panels. Number each step so that there is no guessing.
I just now got my power back on boy I have never been so happy to have a/c its been 100 all week got my house flood cut and stripped now its drying down finally
I spent 4 days at my dads house in appling from warrenton to Washington rd. Was ruined. It was gut wrenching
Catastrophic
