Asheville is not a TOWN it is a CITY. Towns in the surrounding areas were washed away.
It's THAT bad?! Sorry I've never been to NC. What other states got it bad? I saw some on the western shore of Florida and a bit in Virginia I think? - NorCal dude
Ashville and surrounding areas are a liberal s-hole.....Good Riddance to garbage.
Worst flood in history for this area. Now the crest is only one foot higher than the 1916 flood. But this hasn’t happened in 108 years.
@@silverado7253 6 feet higher. water.noaa.gov/gauges/BLTN7
Asheville is a city? We vacation there to get away from the city. Has a small town feel to me.
There should be national constant media on a national emergency this large.People are using social media to get information.Very poor coverage.
Let's see how fast insurance companies refuse to pay out
My dad lives in Ashville. He moved up there from Birmingham several years ago. I visit him often from AL and it was such a beautiful place to visit. If I had the money I would have loved to live there, but with me finally paying off my little home here it is hard to think about leaving it with so many people struggling with just their rent. I am blessed. I finally got in touch with him and luckily they had no damage, but they are cut off from everything.
Why does the reporter have the tone of voice like hes reviewing an amusement park or something
Exactly what I was thinking. Might of been AI created voice is my guess. They checked the wrong tone of voice
Seriously. It's a rather tone deaf tone of voice given the situation. It sounds like he's on one of those old infomercial ads.."But wait, there's more!!"
Many towns were wiped off the map they need immediate aid
Aid is only for Ukraine and other overseas things Congress is interested.
I’d never buy by a river.
My home is on top of a hill. No highwater here.
In our lifetime Asheville and WNC has never seen this type of destruction.
@@brucecampbell4528 Ever. Period. Beyond recorded history. Even the flood 100 years ago didn't match this.
I pray they rebuild
for what? the next hurricane season? leave it to nature and build somewhere else
Getting people to saftey is the top priority that people should have
Wow terrible 😢😢😢
I feel bad
Heart goes out to them all prayers lifted
NC will recover. Mark Robinson's campaign won't.
I’ll walk through flood waters and 10 feet of media bs to vote for Trump and Mark Robinson.
😂😂😂

Asheville is one of the biggest socialist voting blocks in NC. Now it has been washed away.
@@SUGAR_XYLER Asheville is a huge democrat voting block and now it has been washed away.
Man!!..We were going to our cabin in Black Mountain on Oct 27th…Just glad we weren’t here when this happened.
One of my grandparents houses has a tree in the living room, another one is under water, and thankfully, the one they decided to stay in just has a river for a road.
Oh and the federal government isn't doing anything to help
NBC, can you help us?
At least there are no alligators 🐊 😬
I think it's time to help our people and families who are left without home and stop sending fiance to other countries. God Help and Protect Our People 🙏🙏🙏
State Farm combine ratio just went welp 😂😂😂😂😂 no bonus this year smh.
I live outside of Gatlinburg, TN in the Smoky Mountain.. We were between bands. My area low lands got not so bad flooding. I have people in the
Asheville area. I am told that Asheville west to the Tennessee border is basically destroyed. Roads not only flooded but washed away. Bridges
destroyed. An East bound section of I 40 collapsed into the river. Asheville is without electric power and cell service. Slowly being restored with
temp cell towers and Power Crews from as far north as Canada. All non responder traffic inbound/outbound is restricted. There are towns under
water. This is a Generational Disaster unknown to the Smokys. No one expected Helene to take a track North West out of South Georgia and drop
part of the Gulf Of Mexico inland. Not to mention the Wind Bands. People are suffering. Maybe the government could spare 2 or 3 billion from
propping up Ukraine. Nahhhhh... What Was I Thinking?? The normal US Citizen is the last thing on the US Gov's collective mind!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe this mainstream media only aired this for a couple minutes you are the sorriest newscast I've ever ever encountered you all should close your doors
Chimney is a beautiful town so sad what happened
Anyone have details on Ingles Markets headquarters and warehouse? I heard they were flooded.
I’m looking for my friend Trenton Marqui Kincaid. Does anyone know if he’s ok? Off piney rd morganton
Beyond anything any one alive has ever seen😢
This presenter is way too chipper about this. Ghoul.
Will the news let us know about Yancey County NC .I have family there. Family in Burnsville, Blue Rock. Where there help
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Its diddys fault.
🙏🙏🙏
Maybe Israel and Ukraine can send back some money.
the jews aren't gonna pay nothing they take your money while screwing you over.
for some reason, the ancient avoided building on certain areas
Actually they just knew how to build structures that'd withstand the area being settled typically. Remarkable feats of engineering that's rarely thought about today. Anyways I wouldn't expect you to know anything about that subject since you referred to a group known as the ancient for the basis of your comment.
@@RedStreak636 LOL!!!! You're a laugh a min.
@@GregLakatosChradm it aint much but it's honest work
where's the mayor
Where Robinson
Give to Samaritans Purse...
Either flood the Sahara or build a Cresent shaped mountain off the coast of manoco shooting the dust north
"Global warning is a hoax".....aha
It must be manbearpig because catastrophic flooding hasn't happened throughout recorded history
Government created the hurricane to steal the lithium mines there. Global warming is a ruse by the same powers.
🙏🙏🙏😭
And not a word from our current administration on this. Too worried about sending money to Ukraine so they can pocket it.
Aba e faendi aba e aba e non ti preoccupare aba e
Does nbc have a line to DC, if so tell them the people in this part of the country need help. Not Ukraine or Isreal; our own people first.
well as long as ukraine has money we are good
Now there really going to vote Kamala in because they know trump wont do anything about it
That is a weird take what did Kamala do for Maui or East Palestine ?
@ManuelGarcia-rw8td Are you Special Needs??
Is the president or vice president currently doing something?
@@silverado7253 The VP cannot declare a state of emergency or provide FEMA relief. Please try understand the role of VP.
The water has already went back to normal levels
No.
Don’t ever use AI again to report on a story like this.
Free Market won't help you now. Suddenly everyone socialist
Bot. No politics needed here.
@@silverado7253Actually, yes, politics is needed here. Ron De Santis turned down $350 million in federal aid to take precautions against climate change because it was "too woke" and now just yesterday, begged for $1 billion in socialized tax payer emergency funds to clean up the disaster his ignorance contributed to.
Well,maybe if they stopped spraying our skies in an attempt at "weather modification", our weather might go back to normal
They didn't delete this comment? This is their handiwork alright.
Prayers to Asheville- good-good people
Old hippies like me- liberals not trumpers at all
you're just another bigot not a hippie
I bet Trump will show up and the mess before Biden gets out of bed.
See the mess
It is a very ungodly city.
@@raygunner2437look socialist dude one of your biggest voter blocks has been washed away.
As the US sends money overseas God retaliates
Weird comment.
It means our overseas policies that cause devastation there are reaped here
Project 2025 doesn't care about you.
Only fools whine about project 2025
Harris bots are out In force today 😂
I wish that project 2025 was embraced and was going to do everything these fools thought it was.
@@coolazul-ic9km Project 2025 will do away with Fema as it is known, as well as the early warning system that saved countless lives, take a few and actually read it.
You should read Project 2o25 for yourself. It seeks to demolish the NOAA (the weather service responsible for tracking and reporting on tropical storms and hurricanes.). The devastation would be severe and costly. But Project 2o25 also seeks to end federal aid for natural disasters. Florida just begged for $1 billion in aid. If Project 2o25 is even further enacted than what Trump already did in his first term, it will be catastrophic. @@robertheagy925
il n'y a que la connection wifi qui les occupes ! ils sont fous ces gens ! le wifi et plus important ? connerie ! ces USA sont débiles
God cannot bless those who refuse to be faithful stewards. All He can do is to permit Satan to accomplish his destroying work. We see calamities of every kind and in every degree coming upon the earth, and why? The Lord’s restraining power is not exercised. The world has disregarded the word of God. They live as though there were no God. Like the inhabitants of the Noachic world, they refuse to have any thought of God. Wickedness prevails to an alarming extent, and the earth is ripe for the harvest. - 6T 388.3
God doesn't exist.
This Disaster is caused by Arrogant and Corruption. If Human don't wake up and correct all the sins, Expect more of this.
Can we talk about climate change yet?
They put Jesus and the angel's in restraints
Reverend Jesse Duplantis says: And i looked at him and he had tears in his eyes as he's saying this now he said, i dread that day i dread it i dread it but i don't wanna do it Jesse i don't wanna.' Revelation 19 Then the rider on the white horse struck down the nation's.' Rabbi Tovia Singer says to Jesus: What's wrong with you and your angel's?! You don't try to hit a human Jesus?! What's wrong with you?!' 😂😂😂😂😂
Ok this is horrible but please make sure that you give ALL the money you CAN to ISRAEL! They are fighting on behalf of the United States right now! Give some money to North Carolina but there will not be a North Carolina if there is NO ISRAEL!!! Please don't forget that! KEEP ISRAEL IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!
O who you killed the people of Gaza or support the killer, read this verse : [5:32]
For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah’s Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.
oh shut up with all your nonsense.
You chose to live near water. This comes with the territory.
Many people who didn't live near water were killed or had their homes destroyed. Water rushed down these mountains via paths that had never seen flowing water before. I know it's hard to comprehend, it should be.
I'm sorry in what place on this Earth does mountain regions go hand in hand with living by water?
@@RedStreak636 Did you suffer head injury?
@@TrullTV Hey DA they even tell you in the news report to river. LOL!!! It's always funny when some DA like you tries to make up sh**.
@@GregLakatosChradm you make it sound like small rivers and creeks flowing through and around the mountains is living near water. It's mainly you know hills and such, and instead of insulting my intelligence you could have just provided a example to help educate me on what you feel passionate enough to speak on publicly.
