Had no idea that it is still so bad there. There has been virtually NO media coverage about it here in the west. My wife and I love operation blessing and have worked with them before. Will donate for sure. Bless all of you for getting this news out!
There are numerous YT channels of volunteers & citizen journalists covering this. Lots of content out there showing the destruction, but the beautiful ways communities & volunteers are getting the job done a little at a time
Frankly it should be all rebuilt, but not there. It's a stupid place to build. Mother Nature just proved it. Wise men build a house on a rock. Fools on sand. - Old Testament.
I HAVE MADE THREE TRIPS WITH SUPPLYS,WE LIVE IN KODAK TN,NO WORDS CAN TELL THE DEPTH OF THIS DESTRUCTION,VERY HEARTBREAKING TO SEE OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEWPORT AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLES LIVES CHANGED FOR EVER,GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE
Which relief organization is the best to receive supplies and money for this hard hit communities? Me and my wife are packing some of my Grandson's toys because he has so many that he can't play with plus I want the children to have a Christmas. I can't imagine the hardship these people are going through just want to help in anyway I can we are blessed want to pass that on we are happy to do it!
My basement flooded. The water level was so high it reached my oil furnace, and the water had an oil slick on top of it. Mold is growing everywhere no matter how hard we tried to keep it under control. My foundation is compromised in several places. Floors have cracked open. Water ran down beside our chimney (we think) and saturated the walls. I can't use my furnace to heat my home. FEMA finally came out a month later. He looked at nothing. They denied me any help. Before they will let me appeal it they are making me jump through hoops with my homeowners insurance with inspections and estimates, even though I showed them my policy that doesn't cover flooding or hurricanes. I am disabled with 2 heart conditions and an autoimmune disease. I am losing hope as well. But I am just one of thousands. Pray for us all.
That's awful and sad to say kinda expected from the current administration. Praying for you and others going thru the same that Trump gets back into office and sends help ASAP. Love from Frisco TX! 🙏✝️❤
i live in Burnsville. we were cut off completely. no utilities for weeks. couple places had starlink (musk provided some places with starlink.). After a few days supplies were brought in by helicopter. They cut rough roads in, passable with 4 wheelers at first. i am type 2 so i lived off pure canned chicken and tuna. Grandson type 1 was taken out to stay in town. at first there was food and water stations everywhere in schools and churches. that has mostly dried up now since the government took it. after a couple of weeks the road to town was open by car. but some are still stuck. bridges were all out. roads were washed away or caught in a landslide. lots of those. my utilities came back on last week, still goes off a lot. everything is just patched. first good snow will bring a lot of it down. almost all the supply hubs were closed as were the shelters. Government took it over. There is almost no supplies in their center. people that were depending on shelters were back in cars, tents or travel trailers, then the government started taking their kids. kids were taken about 2 hrs away. parents with no cars are told to visit them once a week or lose custody. people were forced to sell land for pennies on dollar. where is FEMA. good question. As Regan said, if someone shows up and says "we are here from the government and are here to help" be very afraid. Operation Blessing's and Samaritan's Purse and many many more church groups and individuals came in and saved lives and helped in hundreds of ways. It will be a long time before most of the people in this area recover. I had just paid off my new roof. now got holes. chimney damaged. house foundation broke and floor unlevel. Doors don't shut good. Son and his family back with us. his home he just bought, very badly damaged. car damaged. just went to work tonight at his new job 60 miles away because old job was destroyed. our other kids lost homes and jobs too. AND I WAS LUCKY! Many have NO homes at all or they died. The government even took their land so they can't rebuild. Many are out of work, the business is gone. Thank you to all the non profits, church groups and individuals that helped.
This is ridiculous and my heart goes out to the families with children and government taking their kids!!🤬 the family needs to stay together no matter how hard it gets they can be stronger that way. They need shelter not more heartbreak
I just saw, on utube, last week. And showing all the small buildings, being donated. The amish, going there and building, alot of them. People, donating, rv's and campers. I didn't see people giving up on helene victims. Your not forgotten!!! We still have you in our hearts and prayers. Hang in there!
They feel forgotten because they still need volunteers and now that it's out of the news media. And other media influencers are saying they don't need help anymore and stuff like that which is not true they feel forgotten because it's not being not as many people are coming to help I think.
Samaritan's Purse are also there, maybe show interviewing them also to show how along with Operation Blessing they're trying too to help with the needs of the People in North & South Carolina, and the Georgia area that was damaged by the hurricanes 😃
I have been in construction most of my adult life. I am selling my home in socialist MN, quitting my high paying union job, and moving to Tennessee or North Carolina to help rebuild. I just need food, shelter and affordable access to healthcare. I do not want to profit financially from others misery. Adversity always makes us stronger when we work together. That is what my grandfather instilled in me. He was my WW2 veteran real life hero!
We've been lifting you all up to God in prayer and intercession. God has heard your prayers. He will keep providing. I'm sorry it's not always quick. He will get you through. Hugs...
I live in NC. This has been a real blow to residents in this state. Even those of us who don't live in those mountains. God bless you OB for being there, when FEMA isn't.
I can Confirm... I live in Mtn City and the Feds got in the way.. shut down our airspace .. And yes.. they can rebuild ln their lands.. We will have a full on war if anyone tries to run off anyone from their homes..
Elon’s friends and Trump were there for a day and that was it. Disgusting behavior of the incumbent president. The Republicans refused an aid package of $40bn. Get your facts straight! MAGA said Trump saved the world. Richest man in the world and wanted subscriptions for his Starlink. No one has the means to pay his monthly subscription (only one month free plus deposit). They just used to make up more lies. Chat up your Republican representatives if they are the ones who are like Trump- God’s Angel Squad. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Democrats were driving the clouds around to make them drop rain in specifics spots. The dirt there doesn’t absorb water
Two months- this is how long it takes in NJ and NY. People froze in winter because it takes years to recover sadly. If you don’t have money to start demolishing and cleaning up as soon as you have access to property- you’ll probably lose your property. Anyone waiting for fema or insurance will have issues down the road.
Many don't have places to put them. The government isn't allowing them to put them on their land that has now been declared flood plain and they can't get building or septic permits.
Praying for western NC and all the other nearby states, cities and towns hit by hurricane Helene !! Lord we pray that You would provide for all those in spiritual and physical need !! We lift up those who have lost everything that you would meet every need. And that the Love of God would surround these people !! Also that you Lord would bind up there wounds and heal their hearts. Thank you for performing the miracles these people need. Amen!!

Please don't listen to these so called "officials". Just do what is needed. After all y'all know what you need more than much, much more than these government agencies!
Find out where the money is from the country concert 3 to 4 weeks ago that was raised to help these people. No one I've heard from know where this money is.. ...
As someone from western North Carolina… thank you for reporting this truth! We have mostly seen help from the community. People have been amazing! FEMA not so much. Many people were hit much harder than we were and I feel so bad for them. It’s heartbreaking really. Our basement flooded and we had to replace our meter base in order to have power put on, but we are grateful and feel very blessed that that’s all the damage we did have. Thank you for not forgetting about the people here!❤
Listening to a video today stating there’s people that’s getting infection in their eyes from bathing in the water there ! Taping up their ears and eyes to keep that water from getting in and making the situation worse!! Clean water to drink and bathe in is the basic of life and when it’s not available! I thought of throwaway wipes like the ones hospice provide. At least they could wash them selves with no worries. God Bless them, I just pray every one can get what they need. There should be no red tape in a traumatic situation such as this ! Period! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
She mentions the stinch. Some are saying a reason why FEMA did not jump in to help is because they know how dangerous the air and water is right now to your health
Your baloney People are helping people neighbors. People all over are helping not the government. Set back and lay off unless you are there or live nearby. You have a great day.
@@btinnc4694 BS! Go ahead... name one area where people has seen them. Where are they now so it can be caught on video?? This D-run Media would lead with that if they could.
When my now late husband was a boy, he got pulled out into the ocean by an undertow. He was told by a Sunday school teacher, “if you’re ever in trouble call on Jesus!” When he surfaced he screamed “Jesus!” when he came up ands he never went under again. A man shortly called his name and rescued him, and he swears it was an angel!
There is such great needs this will be going on a long time for years. Operation Blessings and Samaritan's Purse can only do so much. All the different churches need to volunteer and go help. Peoples need wood stoves. It will keep them warm and heat water and cook food for indoor and outdoor use .
People are also suffering from different diseases that was suppose to be eradicated..what is up with that praying for north Carolina 🙏 prayers going up
So much appreciate the information and on site view here.I suggest to include the names of the businesses and approximate locations, that detail is helpful to put in context! We can keep our eyes open for if they open somewhere else, or ask for assistance, gofund me, etc.
Operation Blessing did an exemplary job in New Orleans aftermath after Hurricane Katrina. I know operation Blessing is doing an impactful ministry- in recovery. And rebuild. Katrina recovery took over a year - NC aftermath from hurricane Helene will take as long if not longer 🙏🏻
I would NEVER rebuild there always living in fear of it happening again. Living by a creek, steam or river is a huge risk. i used to live by a creek some years ago and every time we had a storm we were at the creeks edge watching it. Several times we had to go as the water got to the house. Then I came to my senses and moved to where there was no chance of flooding. What a relief.
Fear of happening again? That hurricane maintained 80-90% of it's energy 300 miles inland. That storm was manipulated by man. Yet in 1977 the UN ratified a treaty not to use weather as a weapon. So much for that huh?
It never fails, that after the News Media Cameras get up & leave people are forgotten, and this happens in all disasters. And whenever the next major situation or disaster happens in America ( which is soon to come ),sad to say, but the people in WNC gonna really be forgotten.
@@EileenUsherwood Yeah but thing is, people are under the impression that's it's nothing to go to Asheville for now. They just choose to go other places now to tour instead.
I've done 17 yrs of aid work in Haiti, Cambodia, Laos & Thailand ...back in the US 2 yrs ago yet heading back to Asia ...even in churches here, so much "indifference" ...everyone talks about "service" but few do it. Easier to look away. Americans are way too materialistic and ungrateful for what they have.
After 3 years the insurance company is not obligated to help anyone there anymore. All claims expire after 3 years no matter what. Tons of people will be very upset. We are all they have
There's gonna be more landslides. 10s of thousands of trees have been uprooted on the mountains sides. Those roots are what holds the dirt in place. It may not happen immediately, I am thinking the Spring thaw could do it, or heavy rain this winter. It has hardly rained since the hurricane, so we do not know whats going to happen. Hopefully my armchair quaterbacking is wrong.
Debris can be used to create berms. Trees can be used as mulch to hold soil. This area has a history of flooding. The TVA had plans to control flooding in the 60s which were rejected. Mindset has to change.
There are dozens of towns completely ignored. There are hundreds of people living in tents or on couches. There are thousands dead but not declared because they haven’t done dna test yet on so many body parts. They were ground up by raging rivers. There were 39 counties affected!! Not just Asheville which is doing good compared to most.
We’ve mulled all this over, helping as we can… Where do you start? Loss of humans, pets, livestock, property, access, homes, vehicles, utilities, paperwork, money, identity, treasures, history, tools, food, medications, neighbors, families, jobs…? Unless you are there, in the area, how do we know what/who to help?
Such a blessing what you are doing to help your fellow man.❤💙💚🧡💛 I am out of the right words to say. In many countries, terirble weather things is going on.I feel blessed living in my part of a country, where we for now atleast do not have the extreme that you see in other places here and in other countries in europe. God bless I live in an apt building.
Constraining my thoughts about the culture, the predominant spiritual orientation of the people in Asheville and the preeminence of God in all matters, but I must commend Hayley Henson for her work and her heart.
I understand what you're saying. I live in NC. But so many people who don't live in Asheville in that area have been impacted, and they are not part of that culture.
Isn't Asheville the place where all the witches live in NC or do I think of another city in NC? There's one city there in NC that is full of witches covens.
In agreement for Gods divine intervention in all aspects of whats going on and continuing to go on there especially Ashville and other areas that were affected. God bless you and God bless CBN and Operation Blessings. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
With Trump coming into office they will get the help. The problem lies with the current Biden administration that give away money to illegals instead of citizens. It's an unjust and antichrist administration you got at the present.
Rant incoming... My oldest daughter, her husband and their four children live in my stepmothers home. After my father and her got married she had had the house available so my daughters family moved in and basically just pays the mortgage and insurance. During Hurricane Helene the entire first floor was flooded. FEMA came and looked at it but denied my daughter help because they don't own the home and denied my stepmom help fixing the home because it's not her primary residence. Here they are now two days before Thanksgiving, denied help to fix the home and have no opinions. 95% of the relief organizations are gone now. Sure they helped right after the storm (excuse my example) to stop the bleeding, load the patients on the stretcher, carry them off the mountain and take them by ambulance or some case's in helicopter to the ER... BUT NOW WHAT. Who does the operation, the post opp. care and physical therapy. The emergency calls are over and now people need help rebuilding. A lot of people don't know where to ask for help and how do you ask for help if your house just received severe (FEMA own classification) damaged when friends lost everything?? It's hard not to just give up.
Hi I’m from Florida ..I just wish we could get Amish built cabins on aboard ..they can bring them in built ..or another solution to housing..Shed to housing.. Can we send buses to that area and pick up the families and house them here in Florida? It’s warm here!!❤❤❤ God bless and my prayers for everyone!!
It’s going to take years to get back - not to normal, a new normal. The destruction from both hurricanes was tremendous. It probably makes sense to stop talking about the fact that there is no potable drinking water. Every single foot of water supply pipe needs to be replaced and connected to a new water treatment plant and pumping system. Many or most of the volunteers just can’t grasp to level of effort it’s going to take. The volunteer work has been inspiring - the real work and hard decisions will continue to build. Some folks may face permanent displacement, a sad fact that seems more likely.
Where are the famous government agencies? Departments that are supposed to be used for national disasters. Do they not exist anymore. This reminds me of the dust bowl in 1920 and 30's . I thought that is why we have such a big govtm
I wonder really if that's true that there feeling alone and forgotten! Because there's just way too many RUclips videos of people that don't work for the government that have been there helping since day 1 I mean somebody needs to tell the real truth of the matter
Take a trip through these communities yourself if you want the truth. It spans across many states! Small towns get minimal media exposure! Yes people in pockets are working everyday but the devastation is vast and total.
Ive grown up in Florida. 2 weekends ago I took up donations to Barnardsville. I can teell you after spending my whole life dealing with Hurricanes, Nothing and I mean Nothing prepared me for what I saw!!
4:06 that would not have happened that would not have happened if all the people have sold their property so that the government could have all the lithium that's under the ground that happened because of the greed of the government
I will never forget y’all. What is that saying-- if you can’t do anything- just pray. And that’s what I do. Those are my Mountains and y’all and my people too. I’m a NC born. My heart has been heavy and I cry a lot and I watch videos to keep up with what is going on. If I was wealthy y’all wouldn’t have anything to worry about. But I’m not so that’s why I pray. Love you guys
Maybe try and find other ways people can help. I know money is essential but everyone who wants to help just doesn't have the money. But, can gather donations and or offer their time!
There is so much debris still around and so little help because fema money was diverted to Ukraine and immigrants. Fema should have started debris removal immediately like they do at the coast. Hopefully, this won't ever happen again. It has been painful to see and go through.
It's flooded there very heavily before. So the future generations will still have to deal with it. Unless they figure out what to do with extra water for when the time comes
Exactly my family been in the mountains for 200 years it does flood and sometimes the water rushes down in the valley drowning 3,000 people @@cblaker68
They did, as you described, it takes years to recover, not months. FEMA pays up to 42,000 per family. Folks in FL are knowledgeable about applying for FEMA help. NC residents must do the same.
Since Daniel & Squire Boone & I have ancestry through Appalachian. Climate change is definite they need to be educated how to rebuild . My family work diligently with George Washington in the early America colonies settled throughout the Appalachians Kentucky Tennessee North Carolina . Education my friends you need to get new ideas on building for the future
I am hoping that more families can rebuild and remain in the Western NC mountains,hopefully they will continue to get a lot of cases of drinking water.Blankets,food etc.
Why have insurance if they bail on you when you need it? It's like, if the rain came from the sky, not covered. Never heard of hurricane insurance. I live in tornado country and there is no such thing as tornado insurance.
The rule to go by: If you can see the creek or river from your yard, don't build a house there... unless you are up on a bluff.Just look at Marshall, NC. Main street, whch is literally built on the river bank, was wiped out. Go up the mountain in town to Hill street and Skyway drive? All those homes are fine. All this stuff was washed away in the flood of 1916, and they put everything back in the same place. Those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it. and then, the people in the area are screaming and demanding that taxpayers pay to fix all this foolishness
top it off with filing for State Unemployment benefits and the run around circus with those folks down in Raleigh, they are actually asking for proof of road closures to be approved for benefits for a friend of mine that cleaned vacation rental homes. I think we all know those vacation rental homes are in areas that where not accessible and there are no tourists coming anyway ! People from our own State who have no clue as to the immensity of what happened here !
These agency's including FEMA are in 6 states and dealing with 2 recent hurricanes. And our congress who is useless, just before the storms voted AGAINST funding these agency's. I don't think that they are forgotten any more than many tornado victims and towns are. There are just so much more of these storms lately. People are a little desensitized to the carnage because its so prevalent now. Social media is a two edged sword when it comes to exposure. People tune out after a while unfortunately. Historically the Appalachian area has always needed more help due to many factors but poverty is definitely in the mix. I hope everyone gets help the desperately need but depending on govt or fema is a bad plan. I've been thru catastrophic flooding myself and fema only does some things. Local agency's and groups fill the gap. This is normal. Good luck everyone
There is ONE Human remains DOG in the area hardest hit in Tennessee!! ONE private owner SAR team who volunteered time and one dog 3 men 1 DOG for 7 weeks!!! This is Anerica!! CBN is a huge network. Surely surely they could sponsor one human remains dog to rotate in this disaster. The medias silence on this is abhorent.
Thank you Jesus, I have been 🙏🏻 pray, since storm 😢 in Gulf Ocean, speak out die out and chop it up. Help People out and give them more strength . God bless all people help out. I have bless town. Pray for more workers.

Spruce Pine, North Carolina. We don't "feel" like we have been forgotten and abandoned, we have been forgotten and abandoned. It's a travesty.

Mold is growing everywhere no matter how hard we tried to keep it under control. My foundation is compromised in several places. Floors have cracked open.

You can only get flood insurance from the Federal government - nice, huh?

I heard the Amish sent a team to help build tiny homes.,!
They have. Others are building tiny homes. Some have donated campers but the need is astronomical.
Better put pontoons on those tiny houses if they are near that creek.

Find out where the money is from the country concert 3 to 4 weeks ago that was raised to help these people. No one I've heard from know where this money is.. ...
Wasn’t that united way? Good luck, the same as Red Cross imo
As someone from western North Carolina… thank you for reporting this truth! We have mostly seen help from the community. People have been amazing! FEMA not so much. Many people were hit much harder than we were and I feel so bad for them. It’s heartbreaking really. Our basement flooded and we had to replace our meter base in order to have power put on, but we are grateful and feel very blessed that that’s all the damage we did have. Thank you for not forgetting about the people here!❤
Listening to a video today stating there’s people that’s getting infection in their eyes from bathing in the water there ! Taping up their ears and eyes to keep that water from getting in and making the situation worse!! Clean water to drink and bathe in is the basic of life and when it’s not available! I thought of throwaway wipes like the ones hospice provide. At least they could wash them selves with no worries. God Bless them, I just pray every one can get what they need. There should be no red tape in a traumatic situation such as this ! Period! 🙏🙏❤️❤️
That’s funny as hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@ This tragedy could happen to anyone, what would you do if you had no clean water to drink or bathe in?? Think about it!
that is NOTTTTT "FUNNY" - AT ALLLL !!! @@queenmothervirgomaat9969
My heart breaks for all of u been affected. Tnk God for all the lovly communities an neighbors. Prayers for u all.🙏🙏🙏
She mentions the stinch. Some are saying a reason why FEMA did not jump in to help is because they know how dangerous the air and water is right now to your health
That is baloney. FEMA is here and working hard.
@@btinnc4694 show some PROOF, recommend a channel showing them doing something?
Your baloney People are helping people neighbors. People all over are helping not the government. Set back and lay off unless you are there or live nearby. You have a great day.
@@btinnc4694 BS! Go ahead... name one area where people has seen them. Where are they now so it can be caught on video??
This D-run Media would lead with that if they could.
@@btinnc4694 then why did FEMA order Red Cross to stop serving food. I watched the food drive away as people were in line waiting for food.
They feel forgotten & abandoned
Because they ARE !😢
Tennessee has been forgotten don't even hear anything hardly about on any new! It's all about NC,, that'd where the money is
You're right. What happened to America?
@@ginagold42631 Hmm...what happened to that over 2 billion in FEMA funds DJT misused on his vanity wall at the border?
When my now late husband was a boy, he got pulled out into the ocean by an undertow. He was told by a Sunday school teacher, “if you’re ever in trouble call on Jesus!” When he surfaced he screamed “Jesus!” when he came up ands he never went under again. A man shortly called his name and rescued him, and he swears it was an angel!
Nationwide water infrastructure needs to be built! It’s insane as aquifers run dry and floods occur! While crops and water remain issues!
There is such great needs this will be going on a long time for years. Operation Blessings and Samaritan's Purse can only do so much. All the different churches need to volunteer and go help. Peoples need wood stoves. It will keep them warm and heat water and cook food for indoor and outdoor use
.
Under this administration, they certainly have been "forgotten and abandoned"...
Forgotten by design. The money is only enough for citizens or illegals, your current administration chose the illegals.
Thank you for asking for my help great video
Our state and federal government have failed us in the Southeast. So sad! May God bless the people that have suffered loss this period of storms.
People are also suffering from different diseases that was suppose to be eradicated..what is up with that praying for north Carolina 🙏 prayers going up
Thank God for the people from West Virginia Virginia and Tennessee. Thank you
So much appreciate the information and on site view here.I suggest to include the names of the businesses and approximate locations, that detail is helpful to put in context! We can keep
our eyes open for if they open somewhere else, or ask for assistance, gofund me, etc.
Operation Blessing did an exemplary job in New Orleans aftermath after Hurricane Katrina. I know operation Blessing is doing an impactful ministry- in recovery. And rebuild. Katrina recovery took over a year - NC aftermath from hurricane Helene will take as long if not longer 🙏🏻
Why is this happening in America????
It's the end of the times just before the revealing of the Anti-Christ.
Hold on for Jesus Christ! 🙏✝️
It's gonna take years to rebuild,years!!!!
I would NEVER rebuild there always living in fear of it happening again. Living by a creek, steam or river is a huge risk. i used to live by a creek some years ago and every time we had a storm we were at the creeks edge watching it. Several times we had to go as the water got to the house. Then I came to my senses and moved to where there was no chance of flooding. What a relief.
Fear of happening again? That hurricane maintained 80-90% of it's energy 300 miles inland. That storm was manipulated by man. Yet in 1977 the UN ratified a treaty not to use weather as a weapon. So much for that huh?
@@trainmaster0217 Such flooding is unprecedented for this area.
@@invincibel4007 I wouldn't want to take the risk.
It never fails, that after the News Media Cameras get up & leave people are forgotten, and this happens in all disasters. And whenever the next major situation or disaster happens in America ( which is soon to come ),sad to say, but the people in WNC gonna really be forgotten.
The Asheville newspapers are reporting needs and reopening of businesses. Businesses need tourists to come and spend money.
@@EileenUsherwood Yeah but thing is, people are under the impression that's it's nothing to go to Asheville for now. They just choose to go other places now to tour instead.
We will keep the story alive
I've done 17 yrs of aid work in Haiti, Cambodia, Laos & Thailand ...back in the US 2 yrs ago yet heading back to Asia ...even in churches here, so much "indifference" ...everyone talks about "service" but few do it. Easier to look away. Americans are way too materialistic and ungrateful for what they have.
After 3 years the insurance company is not obligated to help anyone there anymore. All claims expire after 3 years no matter what. Tons of people will be very upset. We are all they have
Amen and Thank You dear Friends! ❤️🙏
Praying for you ALL! GOD BLESS!
There was an interview on Laura Ingrahams" show on Fox news the other night. Keep up the work of getting the information out there!
God bless yall
❤🙏🏻
What they feel is understandable. But, they are not forgotten!
There's gonna be more landslides. 10s of thousands of trees have been uprooted on the mountains sides. Those roots are what holds the dirt in place. It may not happen immediately, I am thinking the Spring thaw could do it, or heavy rain this winter. It has hardly rained since the hurricane, so we do not know whats going to happen. Hopefully my armchair quaterbacking is wrong.
Debris can be used to create berms. Trees can be used as mulch to hold soil. This area has a history of flooding. The TVA had plans to control flooding in the 60s which were rejected. Mindset has to change.
Nothing new. People in Appalachia have been treated like this for more than a century.
There are dozens of towns completely ignored. There are hundreds of people living in tents or on couches. There are thousands dead but not declared because they haven’t done dna test yet on so many body parts. They were ground up by raging rivers. There were 39 counties affected!! Not just Asheville which is doing good compared to most.
We’ve mulled all this over, helping as we can… Where do you start? Loss of humans, pets, livestock, property, access, homes, vehicles, utilities, paperwork, money, identity, treasures, history, tools, food, medications, neighbors, families, jobs…? Unless you are there, in the area, how do we know what/who to help?
the Local Churches are doing Great jobs with helping too !!
Such a blessing what you are doing to help your fellow man.❤💙💚🧡💛 I am out of the right words to say. In many countries, terirble weather things is going on.I feel blessed living in my part of a country, where we for now atleast do not have the extreme that you see in other places here and in other countries in europe. God bless I live in an apt building.
Constraining my thoughts about the culture, the predominant spiritual orientation of the people in Asheville and the preeminence of God in all matters, but I must commend Hayley Henson for her work and her heart.
I understand what you're saying. I live in NC. But so many people who don't live in Asheville in that area have been impacted, and they are not part of that culture.
Can you be more specific? Not sure what you're referring to.
Same as above...can you be more specific about the spiritual orientation? Thanks...
@@cblackink, I appreciate your post and I hope you will understand that when you read my additional post.
Isn't Asheville the place where all the witches live in NC or do I think of another city in NC? There's one city there in NC that is full of witches covens.
In agreement for Gods divine intervention in all aspects of whats going on and continuing to go on there especially Ashville and other areas that were affected. God bless you and God bless CBN and Operation Blessings. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Florida and Tennessee were completely forgotten
It will take a year or two. Hope they can get help to rebuild
With Trump coming into office they will get the help. The problem lies with the current Biden administration that give away money to illegals instead of citizens. It's an unjust and antichrist administration you got at the present.
Rant incoming... My oldest daughter, her husband and their four children live in my stepmothers home. After my father and her got married she had had the house available so my daughters family moved in and basically just pays the mortgage and insurance.
During Hurricane Helene the entire first floor was flooded. FEMA came and looked at it but denied my daughter help because they don't own the home and denied my stepmom help fixing the home because it's not her primary residence. Here they are now two days before Thanksgiving, denied help to fix the home and have no opinions. 95% of the relief organizations are gone now. Sure they helped right after the storm (excuse my example) to stop the bleeding, load the patients on the stretcher, carry them off the mountain and take them by ambulance or some case's in helicopter to the ER... BUT NOW WHAT. Who does the operation, the post opp. care and physical therapy. The emergency calls are over and now people need help rebuilding. A lot of people don't know where to ask for help and how do you ask for help if your house just received severe (FEMA own classification) damaged when friends lost everything?? It's hard not to just give up.
So does TN, and Virginia. 😢
Hi I’m from Florida ..I just wish we could get Amish built cabins on aboard ..they can bring them in built ..or another solution to housing..Shed to housing.. Can we send buses to that area and pick up the families and house them here in Florida? It’s warm here!!❤❤❤ God bless and my prayers for everyone!!
Please continue to pray with us for all of the families who have lost so much.
Please Keep your focus on these areas!!!
It’s going to take years to get back - not to normal, a new normal. The destruction from both hurricanes was tremendous. It probably makes sense to stop talking about the fact that there is no potable drinking water. Every single foot of water supply pipe needs to be replaced and connected to a new water treatment plant and pumping system. Many or most of the volunteers just can’t grasp to level of effort it’s going to take. The volunteer work has been inspiring - the real work and hard decisions will continue to build. Some folks may face permanent displacement, a sad fact that seems more likely.
Need more updates on this.
We now have POTABLE water. Yay!!!!
Where are the famous government agencies? Departments that are supposed to be used for national disasters. Do they not exist anymore. This reminds me of the dust bowl in 1920 and 30's . I thought that is why we have such a big govtm
I wonder really if that's true that there feeling alone and forgotten! Because there's just way too many RUclips videos of people that don't work for the government that have been there helping since day 1 I mean somebody needs to tell the real truth of the matter
Take a trip through these communities yourself if you want the truth. It spans across many states! Small towns get minimal media exposure! Yes people in pockets are working everyday but the devastation is vast and total.
The needs are astronomical
Ive grown up in Florida. 2 weekends ago I took up donations to Barnardsville. I can teell you after spending my whole life dealing with Hurricanes, Nothing and I mean Nothing prepared me for what I saw!!
4:06 that would not have happened that would not have happened if all the people have sold their property so that the government could have all the lithium that's under the ground that happened because of the greed of the government
I will never forget y’all. What is that saying-- if you can’t do anything- just pray. And that’s what I do. Those are my Mountains and y’all and my people too. I’m a NC born. My heart has been heavy and I cry a lot and I watch videos to keep up with what is going on. If I was wealthy y’all wouldn’t have anything to worry about. But I’m not so that’s why I pray. Love you guys
Maybe try and find other ways people can help. I know money is essential but everyone who wants to help just doesn't have the money. But, can gather donations and or offer their time!
Amen!!🙏🙏🙏
41:46 amen
Just so outsiders know... there's a lot more to the mountains than Ashville.
AMEN !!!!
and those outside areas do Nottt have a HUNDREDTH of the Help and ATTENTION that Asheville is getting !!
They feel like that because it’s true
There is so much debris still around and so little help because fema money was diverted to Ukraine and immigrants. Fema should have started debris removal immediately like they do at the coast. Hopefully, this won't ever happen again. It has been painful to see and go through.
It's flooded there very heavily before. So the future generations will still have to deal with it. Unless they figure out what to do with extra water for when the time comes
Exactly my family been in the mountains for 200 years it does flood and sometimes the water rushes down in the valley drowning 3,000 people @@cblaker68
They did, as you described, it takes years to recover, not months. FEMA pays up to 42,000 per family. Folks in FL are knowledgeable about
applying for FEMA help. NC residents must do the same.
That is a lie that I just reported to RUclips as misinformation. Stop spreading lies!
NC thinks they have been forgotten.. here in TNis bad if not worse!
Because they are forgotten, I pray they get more help
Raised your goal!!!
I was displaced from that area. I've gotten zero from FEMA and am displaced.
If you were an illegal, you'd get a place to live and a credit card that refills every month, automagically.
This is so appalling how they are forgotten this is disgusting
Just curious… why is CBN promoting the movie “Wicked”?
Since Daniel & Squire Boone & I have ancestry through Appalachian. Climate change is definite they need to be educated how to rebuild . My family work diligently with George Washington in the early America colonies settled throughout the Appalachians Kentucky Tennessee North Carolina . Education my friends you need to get new ideas on building for the future
I am hoping that more families can rebuild and remain in the Western NC mountains,hopefully they will continue to get a lot of cases of drinking water.Blankets,food etc.
Amen.
20:11 GLORY
Why have insurance if they bail on you when you need it? It's like, if the rain came from the sky, not covered. Never heard of hurricane insurance. I live in tornado country and there is no such thing as tornado insurance.
Correct.
The rule to go by: If you can see the creek or river from your yard, don't build a house there... unless you are up on a bluff.Just look at Marshall, NC. Main street, whch is literally built on the river bank, was wiped out. Go up the mountain in town to Hill street and Skyway drive? All those homes are fine. All this stuff was washed away in the flood of 1916, and they put everything back in the same place. Those who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it. and then, the people in the area are screaming and demanding that taxpayers pay to fix all this foolishness
I haven't forgotten you.
top it off with filing for State Unemployment benefits and the run around circus with those folks down in Raleigh, they are actually asking for proof of road closures to be approved for benefits for a friend of mine that cleaned vacation rental homes. I think we all know those vacation rental homes are in areas that where not accessible and there are no tourists coming anyway ! People from our own State who have no clue as to the immensity of what happened here !
These agency's including FEMA are in 6 states and dealing with 2 recent hurricanes. And our congress who is useless, just before the storms voted AGAINST funding these agency's. I don't think that they are forgotten any more than many tornado victims and towns are. There are just so much more of these storms lately. People are a little desensitized to the carnage because its so prevalent now. Social media is a two edged sword when it comes to exposure. People tune out after a while unfortunately. Historically the Appalachian area has always needed more help due to many factors but poverty is definitely in the mix. I hope everyone gets help the desperately need but depending on govt or fema is a bad plan. I've been thru catastrophic flooding myself and fema only does some things. Local agency's and groups fill the gap. This is normal. Good luck everyone
There is ONE Human remains DOG in the area hardest hit in Tennessee!! ONE private owner SAR team who volunteered time and one dog 3 men 1 DOG for 7 weeks!!! This is Anerica!! CBN is a huge network. Surely surely they could sponsor one human remains dog to rotate in this disaster. The medias silence on this is abhorent.
If there were rich people needing. They would get help but your talking about the poorest of POor and fema is slow
Thank you Jesus, I have been 🙏🏻 pray, since storm 😢 in Gulf Ocean, speak out die out and chop it up. Help People out and give them more strength . God bless all people help out. I have bless town. Pray for more workers.
