Private helicopter pilots are the heroes in this disaster! And good on you for hiking in! It is up to us as Americans to take care of our fellow Americans! That's how we roll!
They (helicopter 17:59 pilots) said, threatened w/jail for trips to rescue stranded people. Some went anyway others had no place to leave people. Gov (blue) wants people dead. They are already trying to purchase homes for 3x amt worth. b/c these lands are where they want 15 min cities. Like they did Hawaii. Please be careful with our gov people.
It's a total 💩 show for sure. Ppl are needing serious help. It's only our regular citizens and ppl like the Cajun Navy, etc. out there to help these ppl. ❤😢 Thank God, for our own ppl risking their lives to save these ppl.❤
Watching this made me realize how critical knowledge of local terrain could potentially be in a situation. The arrival of the helicopter and the partial reopening of the road gives hope!
Bless you and Grace for hiking to your friend's isolated home to check on them. How ironic and coincidental that you and the helicopter arrived at the same time. It just goes to show what good friends the homeowners have, that people use whatever means they have to come check on them. Bless you all.
watching all these videos of friends, neighbours, family and strangers helping each other, is a true example of the resilience and heart, of the American people.
Thank you once again Art for being a decent and caring person and allowing us to tag along with you. The devastation is unimaginable. My heart goes out to all. Much love to you.
Regarding the road closure: you did the right thing. Everyone should have friends like you two. You were prepared for an arduous and dangerous hike. I'm really impressed. You two brightened my day. Thanks for the post.
Thank you for your wonderful friendship. They are blessed to have you. I'm sure you good deals will be returned somewhere with kindness in the long run as well. Good ppl like you are what makes life worth living. ❤❤
A big thanks to all those who are filming and posting this horrible event that devastated so many people. You’re doing a much better job than the news channels! God Bless you all.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️🇺🇸🙏🏻
As a Brit watching this devastation is heartbreaking knowing so much destruction exists. Only glimpses of this is reported on our news. Thankyou for having a big heart, for you and Grace willing to walk where you had no ideahow safe it would be but walked for hours til you found your friends safe
The bigger the country, the bigger the problems. Even here in the UK, we're behind them on clearing flooding which happened at the same time. Thankfully, not so deadly, but. Maybe my attitude's coloured by a year's attachment to a Reserve Enginer Unit, but.
I heard private helicopter pilots were being threatened with arrest for helping survivor's 😮is that not the most demented thing you ever heard FJB and FKH
@@devildog2328Yeah, I’d seen that very same thing just today but don’t remember where as I’ve scoured so much regarding this & other things during the course of the day it gets overwhelming. Just unbelievable!! I’m flattened over the amount of evil.
Man, I can’t imagine the feeling your friends felt of being so cherished that their brother got a helicopter and y’all hiked for hours to check on them. Also, the fact that you knew the mountains so well that you were able to get there without gps or s incredible!
It is amazing that you hiked through that wilderness. How is it that the brother did not text friends to the helicopter flight? You are a gem of a friend.
The amount of mudslide and vast amount of washing out is hard to comprehend. I grew up in Florida in the woods and Donna was the worst in regards to flooding our property. We literally had to use a raft for days to get around. I never witnessed this level of destruction. I'm glad your friends are ok, and sorry for all the loss and devastation.
I have been watching the helicopters fly back and forth over Morganton, NC taking supplies up to the mountains. So thankful for all those who are helping!
If you don’t think it’s the government, who is it you think can afford these helicopters? Come on. This is why we pay taxes, for helicopters and supplies to folks in need, for rebuilding. People running for office who try to tell you that the government isn’t responding to this are pathetic psychopathic liars using a tragedy to try and get your vote. It’s disgusting
My grandson is a Marine stationed at Camp Lejuene. If it isn’t the government responding to this, who the heck is it you think it is sending his fellow Marines into the mountains to help people?
You are the best kind of friends anyone can have! You care enough about others, not only to make a big effort to reach them, but also taking a big risk doing so, not knowing what you'll run into during your hike, with fallen trees, landslides and mud all around you. You have hearts of gold! ❤❤❤
@@karengerace7506, all my life that is exactly how it had been till I moved to N GA in 2016. It was heartfelt to see neighbors being kind hearted humans!❤
Respect! Your way of appearing is far more dramatic, you devoted a part of your life and your strength to visit friends, and the supplies you had might have saved somebody's life had there been a need for it. That's God's way, sacrificing for others! May He pay you back:)))
I'd be honored to have you and Grace as my friend. It takes a friend to have a friend. Most young folks like Grace wouldn't dare go off thru woods like that. I'm so proud of her. Your family is amazing Art. You and Bri are doing it right. Be blessed.
It was nerve wrecking watching him land that close to powerlines. I wonder whether it just looked like that or whether they were really that close. Definitely very risky.
This brought genuine tears to my eyes. We have been keeping so many of you specifically in our prayers as well as the area as a whole. But to have friends that will go to no ends to check on you…from hiking to flying in! That’s what love looks like.
I think if anyone can make it through on foot, Art can. Bless you and Grace for the effort. Definitely a God moment that you were there when the helicopter came. Great memories with your daughter. Thank you for the raw footage.💕🙏🏻
Oh, I think your level of style was far superior to a helicopter. You did the right thing finding a way to check on your friends family. I’m just blown away that we have Americans in our country that are still without contact. It just boils my blood. Yes, Art and Grace. You did the right thing. Continuous prayers for all those affected by the storms.
Boils your blood??? Do you have a quicker way to get in than LE and search and rescue? This isn't an instant snap your fingers disaster!!! It's beyond human comprehension. Instead of fuming, do what you can to help!!!
@@SILSAL67 apparently a helicopter or a friend hiking is quicker. And for your information. I wasn’t referring to local LE. I’m not close enough to be of physical help. Monetary giving is my way of helping.
My daddy always said friends are a dime a dozen but, true friends are extremely rare. You two are true friends indeed. I'm glad your friends are okay. Hopefully, more folks will be found safe. Thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this disaster.
Thank you for showing us the extent of the destruction. Thank you for making sure your friends were okay. Praying for everyone affected by the hurricane.
Such a great friend you are ! And a big praise to the skilled helicopter pilot !! These rescue workers are courageous and talented people , most of caring ! 👏🙏❤️
Hats off to you, Art and Grace!!! Job well done!!! That helicopter had nothing on you two!!! Thank you for being such a kind, compassionate human being ❤
Art. I know it’s been a rough yr. But look at God! Preparing you thru the hard stuff to be available and compassionate to serve those in need. I’m proud of y’all!
One time we had 13 inches of snow in Alabama, no power, couldn’t get out. We had a kerosene heater, but ran out of kerosene. A friend drove his 4 wheel drive truck as far as he could and then hiked several miles in to bring us kerosene
I was already SO with you and then you said hello to that turtle. And then the heli came on scene. ❤ Y’all’re my kinda folks. Thanks for sharing this. Helps raise awareness.
@@Matt-fl8uy Uh he's not! They only sent 4 million$ in supplies. And Kamala said it will depend on ppl's race if they get any of it or not. See the interview she did yesterday. And open your not woke at all eyes!
I live just outside of asheville. I was 6 days without power but then got power and since I'm on a well that gave me water too. I work at a Ministry in Asheville call ABCCM where anyone can go now to get bottled water and even some food. There are hygiene items and feminine hygiene supplies that we give out for no no cost and we don't even ask questions you just sign your name and we give it to you. And yes you're right people are pulling together. We've had trailers and truckloads of water delivered from as far away as Virginia and Tennessee. Helps restore my faith in mankind. I'm afraid it will be months before Asheville gets running water again. The devastation is real. Please pray for us.
What a selfless thing to do. This is wonderful. I'm so happy this turned in to be an adventure instead of a sorrowful outcome, as far as your friends' safety is concerned. Continued prayers for your community coming your way.
Thank you for taking the time to video your trek to your friends and showing the destruction. I pray for everyone every time I watch these. Bless you all.
GOD BLESS YOU. The gas lines were like this 1974. Even/odd numbers on tour plate. Either $5.00 & $10. Limits. Waiting in 5 miles of traffic. Praying with you in JESUS'S NAME AMEN. Thank you ART & BRI FAMILY FOR TRULY HELPING. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏THANK YOU GRACE FOR WALKING WITH YOUR DAD FOR HOURS TO HELP FRIENDS. YOU ARE A AMAZING YOUNG LADY SERVING GOD. THANK YOU LORD FOR THIS FAMILY 🙏 ❤. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 THANK YOU FOR THE VLOGS. WEVE MISSED YOU. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thats the best way to put it . Good friends are hard to find and these folks are really good friends wish we all had friends like that. I have family in North Carolina and in Kentucky I haven't heard anything yet 🤔🙏
Crazy: I'm making the rounds of channels to see who is/was able to post their well-being. You & Grace pop up checking on _your_ friends. I can't think of too many homesteaders in your area, in whom I would have total confidence, hiking overland in those conditions. It certainly was an eye-opening adventure. Grace, this will be one of your legendary memories. Art, thanks so much for taking us along, discretely👍
Amazing deed to walk out there. It was horrible to see the state of those roads... 😥 But still God is good and takes care of us. We keep you all in prayer in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Stay strong in Him. Rom.8:28. Love in Christ to all family of Art and Bri, from up in Europe.
And God does care even if anyone other does not. (I am not sure anyone would come check on us here in Denmark). Jesus always got our backs! Hallelujah!
WOW!! ART you are amazing. To hike through all those woods just to know your friends are ok? Brother i give you AAA. This is what friends are about. God Bless you and your family❤❤❤❤
I remember going home after Katrina and crying at seeing all the folks coming to help and yelling out the window, Thank You. I watch y’all and it brings back so many memories. Love y’all.
The fact that you knew the mountains so well that you were able to get there without gps is outstanding. Grace and you were very kind to go and see if your friends were ok and willing to hike so long in the woods. Thank goodness their brother could get to them with a chopper, he is quiet a skilled pilot. Glad you got back home safely.
You guys are Amazing! That hike was Brutal and you did it not knowing what you would find on the other side. I saw a video yesterday, from a local realtor, who said a few of the sheriffs are advising people to go armed because looting and theft have become a very real thing. People are desperate.
Art and Grace, you are both so brave to venture out to check on friends not knowing what you would find. May God continue to protect your hearts,mind, and bodies for HIS glory. ❤
I am glad your friends are ok. Good to hear happy outcomes since we know there are a lot of bad ones. That road is definitely trashed. Great that locals are working to get them at least usable.
, am in the Asheville àrea if it wasn't for people like you doing what you did ,,so many people would be among the ones who may be left behind to have bad outcomes I'm sure your friends ate thankful for you just as I am thankful to my family friends & community I'm older live alone & on oxygen ,,,so very greatful for allllll the great people we have in this world 😊,,relieved to see a video from yall now I know yall are safe to ❤
There are so many Americans that are praying for those of you affected in all states, trying to volunteer donate and help how they can and we are OUTRAGED the military is refusing to help, our clown administration won't help and now the $750 'relief' fund just like Maui. Sick! We are on our own. Please tell your neighbors we are all wil you!
@@InSahnity The military and FEMA are NOT refusing to help. Whoever is leading you folks to believe that is dead wrong. Who do you think is flying the majority of those helicopters and bringing in water, fuel, man-power, critical repairs to infrastructure, restoration of services? There are entire caravans of trucks and flatbeds loaded with goods, supplies, machinery. CARAVANS! Led by vehicles with flashing lights, flashing lights on every vehicle, I have seen them in videos and probably so have you. They are getting there as fast as they can under difficult situations where interstates and bridges have been washed out and through-transportation is very difficult if not often impossible. Good grief. The malevolence of people spreading these rumors about our government not helping in this disaster is monstrous. This is not a Katrina situation where aid could be more concentrated over a finite area. This is a catastrophe spread over out a large area, many different states, a lot of it practically inaccessible by land now except by foot. This is one disaster that will take time and some patience overall, once the critical areas have been tended to and infrastructure and transportation has been restored. The major blessing of all of this is that the area is peopled with the strongest of people, Appalachia’s people, who know how to take care of themselves and look out for others, who are resilient and the ultimate survivors. I know all about the strong people of Appalachia. My family’s history (on both sides) in the mountains of Virginia, then North Carolina and Tennessee, and ultimately the hills of Kentucky goes back to the mid-1600’s. My heritage is as Scottish, Scotch-Irish, and Cherokee as it comes, and as my Granny used to say of her ten kids, “I didn’t raise no limbers.” My very souls is in these mountains and I know my family and mountain folk: Strong, hard-working, and willing and able to deal with adversity of all kinds. We knew how to be self sufficient if necessary. Mountain folk understand how hard it can be to get around up there. Granddad was a coal miner and a circuit rider on his mule, doing it the hard but necessary way. These are the strongest folks you ever want to meet. It will be slow, my family is contrary and slow as molasses in January, but they will make it all come right again.
Y’all are amazing and such a blessing. I think your arrival was just as exciting as the helicopter. Very thankful your friends are well. Sad for those lost in this terrible tragedy. Be safe!!!
So thankful your friends are safe and doing well. This is what the community of "homesteaders" do. We are all in this together. We are not in this area, but got a lot of rain and wind from Helene here in South Central IL. We are supporting Samaritans Purse and some others that we know the supplies and help are getting to all that need it. You are an awesome friend Art. You and your family are what most people in this community is all about. That is one reason we chose this lifestyle. The people we have so much in common with are the most caring, sharing, loving people. We all help one another in a number of situations. This is what a Godly community does. Praying for all that have been affected by this storm. God Bless you all.
Even though it seemed like a wasted trip, maybe it wasn’t. That is what America is all about. That’s what brotherly love is all about. If more people in America took that kind of responsibility for their friends, family and neighbors America would be unstoppable. I found your video just by accident and I just wanted to say well. Done for doing what you did for your friends. God bless you.
What an amazing experience for you and your daughter! God bless you for checking on them and using your survival skills! This is what we learn and prepare for!
You must know the area well in order to hike through the woods and ridges! Outstanding that your friends are okay! They are fortunate to have such great friends. The American people are resilient and determined! It is so refreshing to hear and see all of the people working together to help each other survive this devastating disaster!
What a friend you are! You kids are the backbone of this country...a heart for your friends...fearless in possible danger...may blessings come to you always...you deserve that..
It's great to see folks taking care for each other this way. A breakdown of roads like this reminds me how much a contribution ham radio operators make in emergencies.
Me and other AMERICANS "celebrate " the safty of your friends. What and incredible display of friendship and "goodness" you two show. We continue to pray and help rebuild our nation. Shalom
Man this takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. The love and care you and there brother showed as well as everyone else showing up for others all over. Wow! This is what is so truly beautiful about humans kind. ❤️
🩵🤍💛 You have hearts of gold! What beautiful souls you are. The selflessness you showed in risking your own lives to go check on your dear friends - this was so heartwarming to see. You exemplify “a true friend shows love at all times and is a brother who is born for times of distress.” 📖 Proverbs 17:17. Thank you for showing how treacherous the terrain is, the mudslide looking up and down the mountain - my heart sank, worried for your safety. I cannot believe the condition of the “road”, seeing how it has buckled to such a degree and in some places completely gone. Yes girl, you get that 4 wheeler!! Your sense of humor literally had me 😂😂😂 I needed to see this positive success story & truly appreciate you giving us a look from “boots on the ground” 🥾 I continue to pray for all of you down south going through all of this - my family just moved to WNC last September, so this is new for all of us, and thankfully they all have their homes still & sharing what they have with others. Much love from Illinois to you all! 🙏 🌏 Question: did your friends have power & water??
A perfect example of what true friendship is all about. God bless you both.
Amen

Crazy: I'm making the rounds of channels to see who is/was able to post their well-being. You & Grace pop up checking on _your_ friends. I can't think of too many homesteaders in your area, in whom I would have total confidence, hiking overland in those conditions. It certainly was an eye-opening adventure. Grace, this will be one of your legendary memories. Art, thanks so much for taking us along, discretely👍
Amazing deed to walk out there. It was horrible to see the state of those roads... 😥 But still God is good and takes care of us. We keep you all in prayer in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Stay strong in Him. Rom.8:28. Love in Christ to all family of Art and Bri, from up in Europe.
And God does care even if anyone other does not. (I am not sure anyone would come check on us here in Denmark). Jesus always got our backs! Hallelujah!
Young man you really a good friend. You and your wife are doing an amazing job. This is how friends should be. You are true blue friends❤.
I love it when your daughter says maybe now you’ll buy me a four wheeler 😂
Handy to have 👍 ....looks like the community has gone back to 1800's dirt roads again and Amish living

May be the only way. Some day it may be for real.
Yes and a inflatable boat 😊
Funny yet sad….lol
WOW!! ART you are amazing.
To hike through all those woods just to know your friends are ok? Brother i give you AAA. This is what friends are about. God Bless you and your family❤❤❤❤
Your level of style was above and beyond!!! May we all have friends like you!! God bless you and I’m praying for all affected by the devastation. 😢🙏
I remember going home after Katrina and crying at seeing all the folks coming to help and yelling out the window, Thank You. I watch y’all and it brings back so many memories. Love y’all.
The fact that you knew the mountains so well that you were able to get there without gps is outstanding. Grace and you were very kind to go and see if your friends were ok and willing to hike so long in the woods. Thank goodness their brother could get to them with a chopper, he is quiet a skilled pilot. Glad you got back home safely.
My heart hurts for all in the wake of Helene. So many prayers are going out to you
You guys are Amazing! That hike was Brutal and you did it not knowing what you would find on the other side. I saw a video yesterday, from a local realtor, who said a few of the sheriffs are advising people to go armed because looting and theft have become a very real thing. People are desperate.
Had to watch again. Unbelievable scenes. Thank God they're ok.
How beautiful to have friends like you.
Art and Grace, you are both so brave to venture out to check on friends not knowing what you would find. May God continue to protect your hearts,mind, and bodies for HIS glory. ❤
You are such a wonderful friend. People are blessed to have you and your family in their lives!
True friend to walk all that way to check on your friend, so glad your friends are ok❤ Thank you Art and Grace❤❤
I am glad your friends are ok. Good to hear happy outcomes since we know there are a lot of bad ones. That road is definitely trashed. Great that locals are working to get them at least usable.
Just WOW! This brought so many tears! Thank you Jesus
, am in the Asheville àrea if it wasn't for people like you doing what you did ,,so many people would be among the ones who may be left behind to have bad outcomes I'm sure your friends ate thankful for you just as I am thankful to my family friends & community I'm older live alone & on oxygen ,,,so very greatful for allllll the great people we have in this world 😊,,relieved to see a video from yall now I know yall are safe to ❤
There are so many Americans that are praying for those of you affected in all states, trying to volunteer donate and help how they can and we are OUTRAGED the military is refusing to help, our clown administration won't help and now the $750 'relief' fund just like Maui. Sick! We are on our own. Please tell your neighbors we are all wil you!
@@InSahnity The military and FEMA are NOT refusing to help. Whoever is leading you folks to believe that is dead wrong. Who do you think is flying the majority of those helicopters and bringing in water, fuel, man-power, critical repairs to infrastructure, restoration of services? There are entire caravans of trucks and flatbeds loaded with goods, supplies, machinery. CARAVANS! Led by vehicles with flashing lights, flashing lights on every vehicle, I have seen them in videos and probably so have you. They are getting there as fast as they can under difficult situations where interstates and bridges have been washed out and through-transportation is very difficult if not often impossible. Good grief. The malevolence of people spreading these rumors about our government not helping in this disaster is monstrous. This is not a Katrina situation where aid could be more concentrated over a finite area. This is a catastrophe spread over out a large area, many different states, a lot of it practically inaccessible by land now except by foot. This is one disaster that will take time and some patience overall, once the critical areas have been tended to and infrastructure and transportation has been restored.
The major blessing of all of this is that the area is peopled with the strongest of people, Appalachia’s people, who know how to take care of themselves and look out for others, who are resilient and the ultimate survivors. I know all about the strong people of Appalachia. My family’s history (on both sides) in the mountains of Virginia, then North Carolina and Tennessee, and ultimately the hills of Kentucky goes back to the mid-1600’s. My heritage is as Scottish, Scotch-Irish, and Cherokee as it comes, and as my Granny used to say of her ten kids, “I didn’t raise no limbers.” My very souls is in these mountains and I know my family and mountain folk: Strong, hard-working, and willing and able to deal with adversity of all kinds. We knew how to be self sufficient if necessary. Mountain folk understand how hard it can be to get around up there. Granddad was a coal miner and a circuit rider on his mule, doing it the hard but necessary way. These are the strongest folks you ever want to meet. It will be slow, my family is contrary and slow as molasses in January, but they will make it all come right again.
Everyone should have friends like you two. Sending prayers.
You did what you needed to. You are a good Friend
Y’all are amazing and such a blessing. I think your arrival was just as exciting as the helicopter. Very thankful your friends are well. Sad for those lost in this terrible tragedy. Be safe!!!
So thankful your friends are safe and doing well. This is what the community of "homesteaders" do. We are all in this together. We are not in this area, but got a lot of rain and wind from Helene here in South Central IL. We are supporting Samaritans Purse and some others that we know the supplies and help are getting to all that need it. You are an awesome friend Art. You and your family are what most people in this community is all about. That is one reason we chose this lifestyle. The people we have so much in common with are the most caring, sharing, loving people. We all help one another in a number of situations. This is what a Godly community does. Praying for all that have been affected by this storm. God Bless you all.
So very glad your friends are fine. Blessings to you and Grace for hiking your way through that rough terrain. What a blessing you are. ❤🙏
My thanks for being a good neighbor and friend, and teaching that to your children.
Thank you for watching our for others, may your blessings be abundant
You went over and beyond. Good friend. ❤ Great job.
Arthur ... YOU :)) and Grace :)) are the epitome jewels of humanity; and to be within your scope of love is a treasure beyond measure. 🥰
Art, this is what you were made for. ❤
I can see why he chose to be a nurse.😊
Art, you are a good man. I pray that we all have a friends like you and Grace that will come and check on us.
Even though it seemed like a wasted trip, maybe it wasn’t. That is what America is all about. That’s what brotherly love is all about. If more people in America took that kind of responsibility for their friends, family and neighbors America would be unstoppable. I found your video just by accident and I just wanted to say well. Done for doing what you did for your friends. God bless you.
Thank you for telling us the most basic items needed in this type of crisis. And thank you and Grace for serving today.
Everybody needs a friend like you!❤
People need friends like you. You are a good person.
What an amazing experience for you and your daughter! God bless you for checking on them and using your survival skills! This is what we learn and prepare for!
Many, many prayers for everyone affected 🙏🙏🙏
UNBELIEVABLE... AWESOME HOW PEOPLE PULL TOGETHER. GOD PLEASE BLESS THEM ALL.
Thanks for sharing. This was an uplifting video. So happy to see the grassroots efforts to get this community reconnected. It truly takes a village.
What beautiful blessings you are❤️😇❤️😇❤️😇
You must know the area well in order to hike through the woods and ridges! Outstanding that your friends are okay! They are fortunate to have such great friends. The American people are resilient and determined! It is so refreshing to hear and see all of the people working together to help each other survive this devastating disaster!
That was nice that you were able to hike in to find out if your friends were ok . Glad they were ok .
Prayers 🙏 and Love 🤟 From Ginger
What a friend you are! You kids are the backbone of this country...a heart for your friends...fearless in possible danger...may blessings come to you always...you deserve that..
Thank God there are people who care!!! You are AWSOME!
It's great to see folks taking care for each other this way. A breakdown of roads like this reminds me how much a contribution ham radio operators make in emergencies.
Bless you all for doing this!!
It's so wonderful to see people helping each other! Thank you for taking us on your journey to find friends
This is where all your survival skills and knowledge are so important! I wish you could teach a survival skills course.
Me and other AMERICANS "celebrate " the safty of your friends. What and incredible display of friendship and "goodness" you two show. We continue to pray and help rebuild our nation. Shalom
Also the turtle 🐢 gave me hope of the wildlife survival
Was so precious to see the turtle - it seemed chill & relaxed !
Man this takes my breath away and brings tears to my eyes. The love and care you and there brother showed as well as everyone else showing up for others all over. Wow! This is what is so truly beautiful about humans kind. ❤️
I'm glad your friends are safe. They are blessed to have friends like you that will do what it takes to check on them.
🩵🤍💛 You have hearts of gold! What beautiful souls you are. The selflessness you showed in risking your own lives to go check on your dear friends - this was so heartwarming to see. You exemplify “a true friend shows love at all times and is a brother who is born for times of distress.” 📖 Proverbs 17:17. Thank you for showing how treacherous the terrain is, the mudslide looking up and down the mountain - my heart sank, worried for your safety. I cannot believe the condition of the “road”, seeing how it has buckled to such a degree and in some places completely gone. Yes girl, you get that 4 wheeler!! Your sense of humor literally had me 😂😂😂 I needed to see this positive success story & truly appreciate you giving us a look from “boots on the ground” 🥾 I continue to pray for all of you down south going through all of this - my family just moved to WNC last September, so this is new for all of us, and thankfully they all have their homes still & sharing what they have with others. Much love from Illinois to you all! 🙏 🌏 Question: did your friends have power & water??
Bless you, Grace and all responders. Prayers from Texas.
GREAT JOB!! Outstanding reporting!! Thanks for the news....REAL news! May GOD grant you mercy all the daze of your lives!! from OBX NC!
Btw..we are loading trucks ( even here) for your relief!! Stay safe...stay STRONG!
There were about 50 private helicopters that have been flying in w supplies and recovering people. Glad you decided to look in on your friends. ❤❤
