Roberson County, NC native American Indian here. We see you. We feel you. We are with you in heart, mind, and help. I'm shopping this morning for supplies to send. The whole family is shopping here. Thank you for the updates. We, the people, can do this. We are stronger united than divided and torn apart. May God bless you all with his outpouring of love from a country that loves you.
You people are going to start a plague parading through that biohazard zone. Be careful what you bring home to your kids! Every single biohazard known to man has been (literally) stewing together... for days! (edit: you people make me furious. *Those people were evacuated!* Why are they still there; expecting others to trudge through *severe* health hazards to get to them? They've had DAYS to get out of there. Why are they lined up taking pics for social media?! *They need to leave.* As a God fearing person you already know that we don't need to promote plagues! *Do not support them staying in a biohazard zone!* That is NOT helping them!)
The idiots that say “build away from the flood zone” have no idea what they are talking about! What’s happened here in Western NC was unforeseen and completely impossible to avoid or prepare for! It’s complete devastation! Glad you’re ok!
It happened in Vermont 2011 hurricane Irene. We tried to warn people in Asheville. They couldn’t fathom we were right. Donating all we can and will monthly.
That was not a natural disaster. Got a lot of help from some weather modification there. God bless you all. Let’s stay United with love in our hearts. Our government is trying to divide and conquer.
Omg thank you for at least showing u care because all life matters and the wildlife and domestic animals and farm animals do also feel pain and fear and the love their babies just like humans love their babies and all their lives do matter too God Bless you for acknowledging them❤
Keyboard warriors have NO CLUE what they are talking about. They haven't been up in that area. I HAVE and there is NO WAY I would have EVER thought this could have happen. I LIVED on the Coast of Texas where Hurricanes are the "norm". NO WAY would I think of Hurricanes destroying a MOUNTAIN AREA!! God Bless you all. Prayers for continued recovery.
You’re doing a service by letting the public know what the conditions are. We only get news of Asheville not the hollows. I know this has been a traumatic experience for you. Thank you.
You need to do more research! I've seen many videos of the very rural areas. The people in those areas are resident and amazing! You do realize news media should not be in those areas causing problems.
Hello! WNC here. People have a hard time understanding how this can happen in the mountains. They don’t understand debris flows, the changes dam breeches caused, etc. We still have some people cut off in my county due to bridges washing out. Responders know, FEMA knows, people are getting supplies to them by air or by taking the long way around. Families live in the roads. I know they’ve got each others backs and can make it just fine for now. They hunt, fish, they have most of their gardens canned and put up. Health care is one of the main things that worries me. I feel the same about people coming in. It’s been amazing and overwhelming. I was crying on my way home from work yesterday because I was surrounded by a sea of cars from all over the U.S. that had brought in boats, aid, etc. I work at 911/Emergency Management and people came in to cook us Eastern Carolina BBQ today. We were lucky. My county was lucky, all things considered, but they still want to treat responders to a meal. It’s incredibly kind.
@@ArchieChristopher-c5z Some counties and towns are in horrible shape. Complete devastation, several fatalities people have not been able to make it to yet. People speaking to reporters are now describing the smell of death in the air. It’s heartbreaking. My county was lucky, but that luck is someone elses misfortune. We have damage, people that are cut off due to washed out bridges, some had to be evacuated but it was mainly people in the southern end of my county. No fatalities, thank goodness. There are a few trailers/mobile homes that will have to be scrapped. It could have been much worse. Most counties have damage but things get much worse from Haywood Co on toward Buncombe and beyond.
@@ArchieChristopher-c5z At least we know that the people in my county that are cut off, until bridges get replaced, are okay. They have supplies. People are communicating with them. Their bridges will be replaced as soon as possible. That’s the case with several people. There are ways to get around until the rushes are replaced but it’s a much longer trek, on foot or horse or ATV.
Im over macon/swain county . I’ve been so sick of just hearing Asheville, Asheville, Asheville. I keep saying these people all around they’re worse off and stuck! Thank you for doing this video.
Thanks for your videos showing places where roads were covered with dirt and debris. It’s so important for Americans to visualize the damage. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️God Bless, Michigan
I'm from a suburb in the midwest and I don't watch much TV or mainstream news, but I'm here and watching and listening. I'm so shocked I can't even fathom how surreal and devastating this is. Thank you for recording and sharing. I'll keep watching any updates you post. ❤❤❤ You deserve to take and eat what others are giving. You might have more than others, but not worrying about what to cook and using precious supplies is something you do need. Even if you can do it yourself, yall have been through a lot and the trauma affects you deeply. Survivors guilt is real, but it's ok to relax in moments and take comfort in what others have provided and allow it to help you preserve and replenish. I'm so sorry for you've had to see.
I'm so thankful for the outpouring of love. I live in Kingsport and we only lost power here. Most of the videos on here are hard to watch and see what suffering people are going through. Thank God for Samaritan's Purse, Dolly Parton, Mountain Mule Packer Ranch, World Central Kitchen for all their help.
We have a daughter who lives in Kingsport with her husband and 4 children.…she said they did not lose power at all so I guess only parts of Kingsport lost power? I hope everyone who was affected by this terrible storm can be helped and taken care of. I hope everyone realizes that the reason the Red Cross and FEMA does not have the resources to help because the Democrats stolen money from federal emergency accounts to pay huge amounts to illegal immigrants. Do not vote for Kamala Harris and her party of thieves. Hope you continue to stay safe.
@@tina8796 And the Cajun Navy, line workers from all over the country and search and rescue teams from all over the US and Canada! As a western NC resident we are thankful for the love and support! 🙏🏻🇺🇸♥️
As being someone who experienced Katrina and the destruction of my city. This is worse. In Katrina your house was most probably there. You lost mostly everything but things were here. This is also something a lot of us from my area prepare for. This is total destruction of communities. My heart goes out to all of you. We are praying and donating to groups of people with trucks to bring out supplies to as many people we can. I really wish I could do more. Thank you for showing this. I know it’s hard and you question if you should but video all of this. It helps bring awareness.
Thank you for showing this. Im impressed by the response of everyday people, when a disaster hits in these rural areas. Shows us that so many still have true compassion for others who are in need.
Thank goodness there are folks like you helping their neighbors. ❤ I'm so worried about corporations coming into our mountains and buying everything up. I hope everyone can keep their land and continue their way of life in the future 🙏
Here's a novel idea. Stop the payments to shore up Ukrainian businesses and use it to pay off any debts and rebuilds for the people who are in dire need in this area. AND, set up tried, trusted, and true local citizens to help distribute the money and not the government.
Corporations can pay cloud seeding companies to cause storms. There are a couple guys at Noah and a couple guys at NASA using 55 and 60th airwing to dispurse chaff. weather radar can stear it. That's why they digitized radio and TV. It was causing storms.
Thank You for this report, another video of an area we have not seen until now! God Bless you & all effected by this disaster! Prayers to all of you. ❤
The people in charge of this should be ashamed of themselves. But they wont be. Let that sink in. If you are ever approached by fema you should tell them to stuff it. This is unacceptable.
Some of these comments from the public display an incredible lack of knowledge of hydrology( water) & topography/ geology. Just makes a person shake their head!!
Bless you all. I'm in NE FL. and fema shut down our landfills just as some were trying to finish cleaning up so they could get in their houses. This is really sneaky and evil! I didn't know fema had that authority? Sweetie ignore this ppl fussing over where you live. Certainly don't see them building the way they tell you! They wouldn't of even lasted with the first winds. Our prayers are with our fellow Helene victims. Please prep for the one coming it's going to be worse. It'll be here about 4-7 days. Same path as helene only a stronger one!!
I'm glad you're showing this. I'm in Georgia and we're hearing so many conflicting reports in certain ways. Because people are "trying" to volunteer, "trying" to take supplies to certain areas and then they're being turned away or told no. I have talked to a few people about going and helping ever since it happened and I've been told NO by literally everybody. I'm wanting to come and help cleanup and rebuilding and I want to work for several days.
There is sadly a lot of misinformation going around, and much of it is intentional and malicious. That doesn’t mean that everyone that buys into it is malicious but the people deliberately and knowingly spreading it are. The people falsely claiming that no one is here helping and no one is being allowed to help are trying to prevent people from getting help. They are the exact same people directing those that want to donate to fake “charities” that are scams. They are the same ones telling people that lost everything NOT go to FEMA or the Red Cross for help. They are trying to harm people. Several people have been able to bring in donations and aid of various kinds. It’s incredibly kind. The main government bodies do need people to check in with them. This is a standard safety issue. Some of the areas/roads aren’t completely stable. They’ve had some folks come in here wanting to run all over the world and make videos in places they do not live and that are not structurally stable. They can direct folks that do want to help to safe areas to provide aid and if they have specific trades/qualifications they can direct them to other areas where they pitch in. We’ve unfortunately had people coming in to do nothing more than see if conspiracies they have heard are true. We’ve also had identity thieves going through debris looking for documents with personal info. They are going to be less likely to call first and say they want to help.
Help is going to be needed for months. Too many pouring in at once is not helpful. If you really want to go there and help you will find opportunities to do so. Awesome you are willing and able.
@AZsunflower Thanks for the kind advice. My plan is to go in November and then hopefully again in December. I'd like to go for about 2 weeks each time. That way someone who has a family can be with them during the Holidays if they need to. I'm very used to lifting heavy things and my grandfather built subdivisions. So I think I'd be of some help long term. I am not just saying this. I feel a "calling" in my heart. 💖 I believe God is going to make a way for me to get there and stay to help.
Prayers from Utah! Sending you good energy, prayers, chi... everything we got. Bless you for sharing and correcting the ignorant comments of some people. United we stand!!!!
God bless you, and your family! I'm just down the road off the 107, no one even knows on the outside, what we are experiencing! Keep putting these videos out so the world will know and remember
It was never a "Flood Zone" it was the hurricane that stalled over this part of N.C. where the mountains where other people live on, the ground was already saturated from a week of pouring down rain. So hurricane came, no one there had any idea that this would devaste their Hollers and below in the Valleys. The mountains were like Funnels, where the rain fell and it flooded the streams and rivers, and the landslides it produced, heading down. N.C. and the area of Tennessee, got 30 inches of rainfall. Do you know how much rainfall that is? 40 trillion gallons of rain! 40 trillion gallons of water could flood the s tire state of N.C. and still have 3.5 FEET. 40 trillion gallons of water can fill the Dallas Cowboys stadium 51,000 times. People in the valleys living near or on the streams and rivers didn't have time to prepare. They don't have a home left standing or they do but its destroyed inside. Why weren't they prepared, let's see, it would be like asking people in Iowa, why they didn't prepare for a tidal wave, or people in Florida, why didn't prepare for a blizzard of snow. Cause these things do not happen. Same thing for all these folks in N.C. and Tennessee, who were hit by hurricane Helene. Living in a time where inflation is so high, I just don't see the state getting federal dollars to repair the infrastructure of this area, or the Tennesseans structure. Or any other place hit by disasters. They might fix up what is convenient for themselves but not people who are fine folk in these valleys and in the mountains. If the feds and the state put any real help into repairing. It's just going to be a patch job. Down the road were all going to see things worse than this. Not just more disasters but other things long foretold. It's really bad now, but it will vet worse before it gets better. And if some of are a live then, you'll be surprised! In the meantime stop blaming these folks for something that Never Happened before!!!
Oh the floods will be back. Flood zones around the globe need to be updated and altered. It seems almost like suppressed info but if you search "flooding" on youtube and sort by most recent, you can do this like once a day and usually find footage of a new major flood in areas that used to not flood. In those videos cars and buildings underwater is becoming the new norm.
Thank you for updating us. I'm from New Jersey, and I have been sick about this since it happened. I kept looking online for updates about Appalachia and there was nothing. I'm so glad you are all getting help.
Thanks for your raw unfiltered reporting of what has happened and what’s going on now. This kind of crisis brings out both the best and worst of people, and it’s clearly brought out the best in you. Thank you, and take care.
1000 year flood. It's way unusual. I lived in a cabin in highland County VA. If we got the rain you guys had there would be nothing left in that valley. Mountains never get this type of rain. Camille in 1969 is the only comparison.
Anyone that says build away from the flood Zone know nothing about the mountains. The only place you can build is in areas that are flat. Areas that have been determined that will not flood. This is unprecedented.
I am directly across the mountain, about 5 miles from NC. There is an old saying that people here have one leg longer than the other because they have never been on flat ground.
The people up over there are survivors and strong. Do not listen to rumors get answers from the authorities. They know more about what is going on than the rumor mongrels. Blessings thanks for sharing.
Those looked like bottom land just washed away, river channel was an avalanche of water mud trees vehicles etc screaming down a mountain. The force of the initial impact that changed the river is unimaginable, the sound also had to be immense.
Do not feel bad about taking those meals. When you are being strengthened physically, you can go help the people who are further back in the community that you know so well. Let the outsiders hold you up so you can hold up the next bunch. Thank you for your content bc you are bringing the eyes on the ground to people on the outside who are desperate for accurate coverage.
I’m an American but I’ve lived in New Zealand for about 9 years. We had unbelievable floods last year and it took communities by complete surprise. I’m proud of you for showing these cut-off and remote areas devastated by the floods. I’ve subscribed.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for doin these videos. We live just less than 5 minutes up from Arnold off Cherokee, old Embreeville... by the Grace of God, we didn't get much more than a butt ton of rain. What y'all watchin on the news isn't even the start of how bad it is. His videos are showin things mainstream media isn't gettin to. Not that they don't want to, but there's just so much. It's hard to show everything goin on. The roads he's travelin, well backroads are main roads round here. Most sane people in these parts avoid the interstate like the plague. We went to Lamar School to drop some stuff off. It's been designated a shelter now so we headed to the church, Cherry Grove. Goin down that area was heart wrenching. We went up to Big Rock and I made my husband turn around... I just couldn't. I've cried everyday day for a week now. The loss is unbearable. I'm taking stuff to Jonesborough Fire Dept now. I just can't bring myself to go down you're way just yet. But you, God bless you. Through your lens, I can see what physically I don't have the guts to handle in person. I pray God keeps you, your family, friends and neighbors safe and that his comfort, courage, love and peace fuels y'alls every breath. Can we get an update on your family members? I think I remember you sayin a couple were pregnant and had lost everything? How can I help?
Oh 💔praying for everyone who is affected. Made donations and will continue in months to come as the recovery continues. So glad to hear no one died it this area. Mountain folks are resilient yet this is gonna be tough to get through. I lived in WNC 35 years and just can’t believe the damage. Prayers!
Thanks for giving Us an update. Some of Us really want to be there helping but aren't able. The MSM really is a complete failure! Stay safe and keep Us updated please.
Right- people don’t understand you can’t build on the ridges. But, you can expect these large hurricanes to hurl big storms at the Southern Appalachians like this from now on. This isn’t a 1000 year flood; it’s the new normal.
Stay tuned , find out, as unfortunate as it is. Mother Nature don't give a rats patoot about humans. We spin the wheel of fate each and every day, good luck, keep on trucking.
Thanks for posting this video. There’s so many places with damaged and communication are down. It’s hard to get the word out. It’s good if you can post donations drop off points to coordinate deliveries. May peace be with you. It just breaks my heart.
God is sending a sign to repent! The end is near and things like this will keep happening until Jesus returns. People in these states must repent of their sins!
@@latvija13 yep hope you're doing the same coz we have just entered the 10 days of awe leading up to Yom Kippur. Christians have not kept our Jewish feast days as Adonai commanded resulting in bowing down aiding and abetting the elites worship of baal, molech, bowing down to false idols, paganistic holidays and satanic rituals and sacrificing children, not to mention the open mockery of God with gay practices. In one hour Adonai HaShem Yeshua will destroy the USA for claiming only the new testament and disregarding the entire Scripture. You're preaching to the choir dear heart ... He's giving you all 10 more days of repentance. Destruction complete is coming to Babylon.
what a blessing that God fearing people like you and all that are helping you exist. And yo helping others..Its amazeing to see the level that the river rose up and the damage it did..Hang in there brother and we keep you all in our prayers and thanks for the video...good work....
One last thing about scammers… Apparently some people are coming in wearing FEMA shirts and they are telling people they have to pay money to file an application for assistance. No, Sir! No, Ma’am! Places where people can meet with FEMA should be advertised. People that work with your local emergency services can help direct you to them, too.
Some of those places were built in what the insurance companies call the "1,000 year flood plain" .... So yeah. That was what will be known as not even a hundred year flood, but a thousand years flood. Just don't think it'll be another thousand years before this happens again!
❤😢God bless you, young man, for showing us places that others r not. I can tell that u r very proud to live in NC! Helene was a once in 3-4 generations storm. Even if folks r what we call Preppers, how would they have carried out heavy tubs of food, supplies etc? They would have drowned trying to load things in a truck!!😢 5 yrs ago in May was mine & my husband’s first time to stay in West NC. Friends gave us a wk at their Lk Lure cabin! We did the normal things but also took loooong drives! How we fell in ❤ w west NC! I was born an Ozarkian from SW Missouri, so trees n mtns r my jam! However, I have lived in FL better part of 50 yrs. OK. 😤How DARE people try and lay blame about building to close to the river/lake!! Have they ever looked at FL? The west side of CA? The entire eastern seaboard? 😳I personally DO get a bit upset at folks who build so very close to the ocean or gulf. Will it stop? NO! The highest point in FL is in the middle of the state. Sugarloaf Mt. is a whoppin 345’ above sea level! But when a hurricane hits anywhere in FL, 90% of folks never say a word about why businesses and homes r built on our beaches! Know that there r millions of Jesus lovin folks who r donating and praying diligently for wise decisions and cool tempers as weeks go on. Many of us cannot come to physically help y’all, but we ARE just as concerned! 🦅 Psalm 91
I don’t want to be “one of those people,” but this looks like weather modification to me. They have done it before. In fact, they just did it in Abu Dhabi, trying to make it rain, and everything got flooded. Too much rain. I don’t know what’s afoot, but I would keep an eye on Kings Mt., NC, and see what happens to that lithium there. This is a battle of good vs. evil, and we need to win this one, you guys. Keep the faith❤️
My mother is from south eastern Kentucky in coal country. She has told me stories about how in the spring if they had some snow in the winter and they get a big storm come through they would have to leave the house and head up the mountain from the creek that turned into a raging river. They had there house up on concrete pillars and it would still come up to the house. She said it never came close to what she has seen in videos lately of the area that got hit. I've seen videos where the river was up 40 feet above normal level! I've seen I beams in river beds twisted and mangled. Huge boulders in places that wasn't before. This is a once in a 1,000 years event and there was no way to prepare for it. We just have to respond and do our best. And all of the conspiracy theory, political nut jobs, and keyboard warrior asshats need to shut their mouths!
Why isn't the military there building a temporary bridge where needed. This is horrific. How this government is allowing these people in all these places with no help.
I saw someone say that in western NC they are still in search and recovery mode. There are hundreds and hundreds of bridges out. Thousands of roads destroyed. Even if they had the materials to repair them all immediately (which they don't, because no country keeps that level of resource just lying around), they don't have the manpower as they are still searching for people, and trying to rescue those stranded. Not to mention, with so many bridges out...how do you carry the materials to repair them? The roads which would support the heavy equipment are gone. The reason civilian helicopters have been doing so many S&R missions is because the military has large helicopters, and large ground vehicles. In open country that's fine, but in these narrow valleys they are physically too big to fit. I've been watching the footage and marvelling that any trucks can get through - what's left of the roads is often so narrow and broken up. People didn't bring in mules and horses for the joy of it - those animals are able to clamber over terrain that not even ATVs could cross, and you can't ship in an endless supply of either. Nor can those animals carry endless amounts. They have to prioritise food, fuel, and medicine, over building materials. The biggest answer to your question though, is just the scale. If it was one valley, one town - hell, even a dozen, it would be possible to send in the resources to get people on their feet. But this thousands of valleys. Hundreds of towns. Thousands more isolated houses! And where the roads haven't been washed out, they're often buried under the same mudslides which have destroyed so many houses which were built up in the ridges - on the higher ground, away from the water which so many people have decried. The magnitude of this disaster cannot be understated. No country in the world could respond to this any faster.
Ya. We’re Grieving also. It all hasn’t be processed . Let the people Help .it’s a way for them to process this loss . Your video was awesome with the picture. We can understand better .. Keep The Faith. , Help Is On The Way .
I’ve got access to two possibly three Volvo C306 TGB Troop transport rigs sitting in Wyoming. These are like 16 passenger military transport vehicles with 6 Wheel drive they will go anywhere, including rivers. I would not want be in anybody’s way if I was to travel down, and diminish available fuel supplies with a long trip.
Well over a 100 year flood is not expected. Hurricanes usually torture just slightly inland with that much rain. Houston for instance 54". So these people had no way to expect this was going to happen and the watershed off the mountains funneled the water to the lowest place making it so much worse. Most homes on mountains don't need flood insurance, some near water do, sometimes if your in that 100 year zone they won't let u buy it. Just saying. Sending all Y'all condolences, prayers for comfort and recovery. Up in Wisconsin we r collecting supplies for relief too. God bless.
I survived the 2013 floods in Colorado for 8 days on a mountain with 5 other neighbors, our first experience with that kind of flooding was 1976 with catastrophic flooding, they thought they had it figured out after 1976, but the river came back in 2013 and said watch this.. we aren't even subject to hurricanes, both floods were just rain storms.. and I realize there has been no flooding in the area for a long time, but you HAVE to be aware that these rivers, creeks and valleys have been formed over thousands of years of water and yes flooding, trapped between 2 mountains the water can only go UP when ours broke out of the canyon it was a wall of 33+ ft high....People who don't understand mountain living are the ones who make the statements about rivers not changing,.. the course of the Big Thompson in Colorado has changed twice in my lifetime. us mountain people are tough and resilient, my best and thoughts to all those there.
I grew up in Colorado, and I now live in NC with my husband. Remember how the water tossed boulders around like pebbles, and cars were buried under mud and never recovered. The fury of water from flasflooding down a ravine cannot be underestimated.
@@monicamoore7597 Some of those cars are still in the river and couldn't be recovered buried under boulders, just parts of them sticking up out of the water and in Glen Haven there is still a car sitting up in a tree,17 ft off the ground from the 2013 flooding. I remember sitting on our mountain watching as the water rolled a boulder the size of a cement truck barrel like you would roll a marble..
I have a house in LITTLE GERMANY a lot of friends there they say it will be a month before they can get out ,they are helicoptering supplies in hang in there ROGER,GORDON,JOEY,JOE,BOB, and all the rest
I was surprised how well your roads were cleared up. Thats a big infrustructure recovery and self sufficiency boon which will make the next several months and years to come more possible. Msy something be done all the way to Germantown.
People who have never experienced such have no clue. This water was record levels not even in flood zones. The eye of the storm sit for 3 hours dumping over 21 inches of rain. No matter were you lived you would of been under water. Praying for all it's a total disaster. The worst is yet to come most didint have flood insurance due to not on flood zone are can't get unless through government and it's to much money praying for all

It happened in Vermont 2011 hurricane Irene. We tried to warn people in Asheville. They couldn’t fathom we were right. Donating all we can and will monthly.
They are talking about the future, not hindsight. Why can't at least SOME new construction be built a little higher?
That was not a natural disaster. Got a lot of help from some weather modification there. God bless you all. Let’s stay United with love in our hearts. Our government is trying to divide and conquer.
All the debris could be ground up and used as a layer to build the land back adding more layers.

Any life that has been lost is important. I think of all the people and animals killed and injured in this disaster.
Its important
Keyboard warriors have NO CLUE what they are talking about. They haven't been up in that area. I HAVE and there is NO WAY I would have EVER thought this could have happen.

Amen to your prayers, it nice seeing your beautiful and encouraging words here
I lived there for 20 years. Old timers always talked about floods, now I see why. This lady's right. Who would've thought....
You’re doing a service by letting the public know what the conditions are. We only get news of Asheville not the hollows. I know this has been a traumatic experience for you. Thank you.
Nice to see your comments you said it all. How are you doing?
You need to do more research! I've seen many videos of the very rural areas. The people in those areas are resident and amazing! You do realize news media should not be in those areas causing problems.
Hello! WNC here.
People have a hard time understanding how this can happen in the mountains.
They don’t understand debris flows, the changes dam breeches caused, etc.
We still have some people cut off in my county due to bridges washing out. Responders know, FEMA knows, people are getting supplies to them by air or by taking the long way around.
Families live in the roads. I know they’ve got each others backs and can make it just fine for now. They hunt, fish, they have most of their gardens canned and put up.
Health care is one of the main things that worries me.
I feel the same about people coming in. It’s been amazing and overwhelming. I was crying on my way home from work yesterday because I was surrounded by a sea of cars from all over the U.S. that had brought in boats, aid, etc.
I work at 911/Emergency Management and people came in to cook us Eastern Carolina BBQ today.
We were lucky. My county was lucky, all things considered, but they still want to treat responders to a meal.
It’s incredibly kind.
How is the situation over there?
@@ArchieChristopher-c5z Some counties and towns are in horrible shape. Complete devastation, several fatalities people have not been able to make it to yet.
People speaking to reporters are now describing the smell of death in the air.
It’s heartbreaking.
My county was lucky, but that luck is someone elses misfortune. We have damage, people that are cut off due to washed out bridges, some had to be evacuated but it was mainly people in the southern end of my county.
No fatalities, thank goodness.
There are a few trailers/mobile homes that will have to be scrapped.
It could have been much worse.
Most counties have damage but things get much worse from Haywood Co on toward Buncombe and beyond.
@@pollysshore2539 God protect everyone living in that environment 🙏 it not easy.
I wish them all good luck
@@pollysshore2539 it nice to meet you here pollysshore
@@ArchieChristopher-c5z At least we know that the people in my county that are cut off, until bridges get replaced, are okay. They have supplies. People are communicating with them.
Their bridges will be replaced as soon as possible.
That’s the case with several people.
There are ways to get around until the rushes are replaced but it’s a much longer trek, on foot or horse or ATV.
Im over macon/swain county .
I’ve been so sick of just hearing Asheville, Asheville, Asheville. I keep saying these people all around they’re worse off and stuck! Thank you for doing this video.
Thanks for your videos showing places where roads were covered with dirt and debris. It’s so important for Americans to visualize the damage. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻♥️God Bless, Michigan
I'm from a suburb in the midwest and I don't watch much TV or mainstream news, but I'm here and watching and listening. I'm so shocked I can't even fathom how surreal and devastating this is. Thank you for recording and sharing. I'll keep watching any updates you post. ❤❤❤ You deserve to take and eat what others are giving. You might have more than others, but not worrying about what to cook and using precious supplies is something you do need. Even if you can do it yourself, yall have been through a lot and the trauma affects you deeply. Survivors guilt is real, but it's ok to relax in moments and take comfort in what others have provided and allow it to help you preserve and replenish. I'm so sorry for you've had to see.
Good to see the heavy equipment getting that cleared. It takes time, but it's getting done.
I'm extremely impressed by the amount of work being done.
I'm so thankful for the outpouring of love. I live in Kingsport and we only lost power here. Most of the videos on here are hard to watch and see what suffering people are going through. Thank God for Samaritan's Purse, Dolly Parton, Mountain Mule Packer Ranch, World Central Kitchen for all their help.
We have a daughter who lives in Kingsport with her husband and 4 children.…she said they did not lose power at all so I guess only parts of Kingsport lost power? I hope everyone who was affected by this terrible storm can be helped and taken care of. I hope everyone realizes that the reason the Red Cross and FEMA does not have the resources to help because the Democrats stolen money from federal emergency accounts to pay huge amounts to illegal immigrants. Do not vote for Kamala Harris and her party of thieves. Hope you continue to stay safe.
@@tina8796 And the Cajun Navy, line workers from all over the country and search and rescue teams from all over the US and Canada! As a western NC resident we are thankful for the love and support! 🙏🏻🇺🇸♥️
God bless you young man !!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 KEEP those Videos coming , the world need to SEE them & SHARE Them !!!!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As being someone who experienced Katrina and the destruction of my city.
This is worse. In Katrina your house was most probably there. You lost mostly everything but things were here. This is also something a lot of us from my area prepare for.
This is total destruction of communities. My heart goes out to all of you.
We are praying and donating to groups of people with trucks to bring out supplies to as many people we can.
I really wish I could do more.
Thank you for showing this. I know it’s hard and you question if you should but video all of this. It helps bring awareness.
Thank you for showing this. Im impressed by the response of everyday people, when a disaster hits in these rural areas. Shows us that so many still have true compassion for others who are in need.
Thank goodness there are folks like you helping their neighbors. ❤ I'm so worried about corporations coming into our mountains and buying everything up. I hope everyone can keep their land and continue their way of life in the future 🙏
That part! Keep our land people
Here's a novel idea. Stop the payments to shore up Ukrainian businesses and use it to pay off any debts and rebuilds for the people who are in dire need in this area. AND, set up tried, trusted, and true local citizens to help distribute the money and not the government.
@@boysrus61 Yes!!!!!
Awareness of that scam makes it less likley!
Corporations can pay cloud seeding companies to cause storms. There are a couple guys at Noah and a couple guys at NASA using 55 and 60th airwing to dispurse chaff. weather radar can stear it. That's why they digitized radio and TV. It was causing storms.
Thank You for this report, another video of an area we have not seen until now! God Bless you & all effected by this disaster! Prayers to all of you. ❤
The people in charge of this should be ashamed of themselves. But they wont be. Let that sink in. If you are ever approached by fema you should tell them to stuff it. This is unacceptable.
Some of these comments from the public display an incredible lack of knowledge of hydrology( water) & topography/ geology. Just makes a person shake their head!!
Exactly ‼️ Mother Nature has NO borders (sadly) I pray 🙏 and hope these people get help very very soon. God bless them and you for reporting 🙏🙏❤️❤️
One thing is for sure, it's breath takingly beautiful country.
Here in Oklahoma we are praying for everyone! God Bless you young man.
Bless you all. I'm in NE FL. and fema shut down our landfills just as some were trying to finish cleaning up so they could get in their houses.
This is really sneaky and evil!
I didn't know fema had that authority?
Sweetie ignore this ppl fussing over where you live. Certainly don't see them building the way they tell you! They wouldn't of even lasted with the first winds.
Our prayers are with our fellow Helene victims.
Please prep for the one coming it's going to be worse. It'll be here about 4-7 days. Same path as helene only a stronger one!!
Exactly right in all you’ve said. Don’t ya just want to hug his neck? (We have 3 grown sons & 5 grandsons)
I'm glad you're showing this. I'm in Georgia and we're hearing so many conflicting reports in certain ways. Because people are "trying" to volunteer, "trying" to take supplies to certain areas and then they're being turned away or told no. I have talked to a few people about going and helping ever since it happened and I've been told NO by literally everybody. I'm wanting to come and help cleanup and rebuilding and I want to work for several days.
There is sadly a lot of misinformation going around, and much of it is intentional and malicious. That doesn’t mean that everyone that buys into it is malicious but the people deliberately and knowingly spreading it are.
The people falsely claiming that no one is here helping and no one is being allowed to help are trying to prevent people from getting help.
They are the exact same people directing those that want to donate to fake “charities” that are scams.
They are the same ones telling people that lost everything NOT go to FEMA or the Red Cross for help.
They are trying to harm people.
Several people have been able to bring in donations and aid of various kinds.
It’s incredibly kind.
The main government bodies do need people to check in with them. This is a standard safety issue.
Some of the areas/roads aren’t completely stable.
They’ve had some folks come in here wanting to run all over the world and make videos in places they do not live and that are not structurally stable.
They can direct folks that do want to help to safe areas to provide aid and if they have specific trades/qualifications they can direct them to other areas where they pitch in.
We’ve unfortunately had people coming in to do nothing more than see if conspiracies they have heard are true.
We’ve also had identity thieves going through debris looking for documents with personal info.
They are going to be less likely to call first and say they want to help.
Help is going to be needed for months. Too many pouring in at once is not helpful. If you really want to go there and help you will find opportunities to do so. Awesome you are willing and able.
@AZsunflower Thanks for the kind advice. My plan is to go in November and then hopefully again in December. I'd like to go for about 2 weeks each time. That way someone who has a family can be with them during the Holidays if they need to. I'm very used to lifting heavy things and my grandfather built subdivisions. So I think I'd be of some help long term. I am not just saying this. I feel a "calling" in my heart. 💖 I believe God is going to make a way for me to get there and stay to help.
Hello from New mexico! My heart goes out to you! God bless many prayers!❤❤❤❤
Thank you Lord for your blessing, people uniting to help one another !
Prayers from Utah! Sending you good energy, prayers, chi... everything we got. Bless you for sharing and correcting the ignorant comments of some people. United we stand!!!!
God bless you, and your family! I'm just down the road off the 107, no one even knows on the outside, what we are experiencing! Keep putting these videos out so the world will know and remember
We're not forgetting you. Just know that people are coming from everywhere to help. I'm sorry it's taking so long.
Yeah all the major networks are not reporting this, keeping it quiet. Thank god for every day true Americans helping each other.
Young man, you did a great job with this video. It makes me proud of you, I’m praying for all of you.! Love and peace ❤
It was never a "Flood Zone" it was the hurricane that stalled over this part of N.C. where the mountains where other people live on, the ground was already saturated from a week of pouring down rain. So hurricane came, no one there had any idea that this would devaste their Hollers and below in the Valleys. The mountains were like Funnels, where the rain fell and it flooded the streams and rivers, and the landslides it produced, heading down. N.C. and the area of Tennessee, got 30 inches of rainfall. Do you know how much rainfall that is? 40 trillion gallons of rain! 40 trillion gallons of water could flood the s tire state of N.C. and still have 3.5 FEET. 40 trillion gallons of water can fill the Dallas Cowboys stadium 51,000 times. People in the valleys living near or on the streams and rivers didn't have time to prepare. They don't have a home left standing or they do but its destroyed inside. Why weren't they prepared, let's see, it would be like asking people in Iowa, why they didn't prepare for a tidal wave, or people in Florida, why didn't prepare for a blizzard of snow. Cause these things do not happen. Same thing for all these folks in N.C. and Tennessee, who were hit by hurricane Helene. Living in a time where inflation is so high, I just don't see the state getting federal dollars to repair the infrastructure of this area, or the Tennesseans structure. Or any other place hit by disasters. They might fix up what is convenient for themselves but not people who are fine folk in these valleys and in the mountains. If the feds and the state put any real help into repairing. It's just going to be a patch job. Down the road were all going to see things worse than this. Not just more disasters but other things long foretold. It's really bad now, but it will vet worse before it gets better. And if some of are a live then, you'll be surprised! In the meantime stop blaming these folks for something that Never Happened before!!!
Anyone mentioning climate change?
I know there were many areas the Native Americans would hunt in but not live there.
It’s sad that many people could not afford to leave.
Thank you for posting and hoping these roads get cleared enough for these folks to get out or the help they need. Stay safe.
What a beautiful place to live minus the disaster. I hope they rebuild! God bless humanity ❤
I never thought it would destroy all the houses on the right. The power must've been incredible. 🙏
There was no flood zone that far back when those houses were built but now there probably will be. Sorry your having to go through this God bless.
Oh the floods will be back. Flood zones around the globe need to be updated and altered. It seems almost like suppressed info but if you search "flooding" on youtube and sort by most recent, you can do this like once a day and usually find footage of a new major flood in areas that used to not flood. In those videos cars and buildings underwater is becoming the new norm.
Thank you for updating us. I'm from New Jersey, and I have been sick about this since it happened. I kept looking online for updates about Appalachia and there was nothing. I'm so glad you are all getting help.
Thanks for your raw unfiltered reporting of what has happened and what’s going on now. This kind of crisis brings out both the best and worst of people, and it’s clearly brought out the best in you. Thank you, and take care.
The Southerners really are the motto for " United we Stand"
@@Trust3 AMEN. And may it help unite us in a just cause.
Amen to that !!!
Yes.
1000 year flood. It's way unusual. I lived in a cabin in highland County VA. If we got the rain you guys had there would be nothing left in that valley. Mountains never get this type of rain. Camille in 1969 is the only comparison.
HAARP directed and intensified. Weather warfare.
Anyone that says build away from the flood Zone know nothing about the mountains. The only place you can build is in areas that are flat. Areas that have been determined that will not flood. This is unprecedented.
I am directly across the mountain, about 5 miles from NC.
There is an old saying that people here have one leg longer than the other because they have never been on flat ground.
@@arewethebadies Insurance first rule. If it can rain, it can flood.
Thank you for your video and commentary! This is heartbreakingly unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing so honestly & encouraging.
God bless and keep you, our prayers are with you! 🙏
Bless your heart for showing us this area, tired of hearing about Asheville.
The people up over there are survivors and strong. Do not listen to rumors get answers from the authorities. They know more about what is going on than the rumor mongrels. Blessings thanks for sharing.
Those looked like bottom land just washed away, river channel was an avalanche of water mud trees vehicles etc screaming down a mountain. The force of the initial impact that changed the river is unimaginable, the sound also had to be immense.
Do not feel bad about taking those meals. When you are being strengthened physically, you can go help the people who are further back in the community that you know so well. Let the outsiders hold you up so you can hold up the next bunch. Thank you for your content bc you are bringing the eyes on the ground to people on the outside who are desperate for accurate coverage.
I’m an American but I’ve lived in New Zealand for about 9 years. We had unbelievable floods last year and it took communities by complete surprise. I’m proud of you for showing these cut-off and remote areas devastated by the floods. I’ve subscribed.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for taking me down a road only 30 miles from my house that I've never been on before. I suppose that this is our new normal, isn't it?
Thank you for doin these videos. We live just less than 5 minutes up from Arnold off Cherokee, old Embreeville... by the Grace of God, we didn't get much more than a butt ton of rain. What y'all watchin on the news isn't even the start of how bad it is. His videos are showin things mainstream media isn't gettin to. Not that they don't want to, but there's just so much. It's hard to show everything goin on. The roads he's travelin, well backroads are main roads round here. Most sane people in these parts avoid the interstate like the plague. We went to Lamar School to drop some stuff off. It's been designated a shelter now so we headed to the church, Cherry Grove. Goin down that area was heart wrenching. We went up to Big Rock and I made my husband turn around... I just couldn't. I've cried everyday day for a week now. The loss is unbearable. I'm taking stuff to Jonesborough Fire Dept now. I just can't bring myself to go down you're way just yet. But you, God bless you. Through your lens, I can see what physically I don't have the guts to handle in person. I pray God keeps you, your family, friends and neighbors safe and that his comfort, courage, love and peace fuels y'alls every breath.
Can we get an update on your family members? I think I remember you sayin a couple were pregnant and had lost everything? How can I help?
Bless you for getting the word out.
Oh 💔praying for everyone who is affected. Made donations and will continue in months to come as the recovery continues. So glad to hear no one died it this area. Mountain folks are resilient yet this is gonna be tough to get through. I lived in WNC 35 years and just can’t believe the damage. Prayers!
Thanks , God bless u and those there
Jonathan Ireland 👍 great to see the people taken care of eachother in such a terrible time god bless the USA
Thank you....prayers for all❤❤
Thanks for giving Us an update. Some of Us really want to be there helping but aren't able. The MSM really is a complete failure! Stay safe and keep Us updated please.
We are praying for those people and hope the help comes very very soon 🙏🙏🙏❤️ from Texas
Right- people don’t understand you can’t build on the ridges. But, you can expect these large hurricanes to hurl big storms at the Southern Appalachians like this from now on. This isn’t a 1000 year flood; it’s the new normal.
Stay tuned , find out, as unfortunate as it is. Mother Nature don't give a rats patoot about humans. We spin the wheel of fate each and every day, good luck, keep on trucking.
Climate change is real and affecting everyone in some way….
Thanks for posting this video. There’s so many places with damaged and communication are down. It’s hard to get the word out. It’s good if you can post donations drop off points to coordinate deliveries.
May peace be with you. It just breaks my heart.
Great work showing the reality. You are great at telling these stories of whats going on in your communities.
We know weather manipulation was involved. Praying for everyone to be safe. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤😢
God is sending a sign to repent! The end is near and things like this will keep happening until Jesus returns. People in these states must repent of their sins!
@@latvija13 yep hope you're doing the same coz we have just entered the 10 days of awe leading up to Yom Kippur. Christians have not kept our Jewish feast days as Adonai commanded resulting in bowing down aiding and abetting the elites worship of baal, molech, bowing down to false idols, paganistic holidays and satanic rituals and sacrificing children, not to mention the open mockery of God with gay practices. In one hour Adonai HaShem Yeshua will destroy the USA for claiming only the new testament and disregarding the entire Scripture. You're preaching to the choir dear heart ... He's giving you all 10 more days of repentance. Destruction complete is coming to Babylon.
@@latvija13 and yes, weather manipulation was involved as well.
Thank you for sharing.
what a blessing that God fearing people like you and all that are helping you exist. And yo helping others..Its amazeing to see the level that the river rose up and the damage it did..Hang in there brother and we keep you all in our prayers and thanks for the video...good work....
Stay positive Americans bonding together in effort to help all of you From all over the country
God bless you, and thank you for putting this out there.
Glad you are okay man! You have your health, you will get through this!
Hundred year flood, my brother very very sad. What’s going on down there God bless you all.
It's just starting to be seen on the Internet sweetie..thankyou for showing this 😊
Is as simple as this. It’s not a matter of if it ever happens again, but when?
Hope for a speedy recovery up there.
And that when seems irrelivant because in Florida, Tornado Alley, the gulf coast...it always gets rebuilt. I'm sure the same will hapen here.
One last thing about scammers… Apparently some people are coming in wearing FEMA shirts and they are telling people they have to pay money to file an application for assistance.
No, Sir! No, Ma’am!
Places where people can meet with FEMA should be advertised.
People that work with your local emergency services can help direct you to them, too.
It's good to see that they are getting help and supplies.
Prayers for all!
Some of those places were built in what the insurance companies call the "1,000 year flood plain" .... So yeah. That was what will be known as not even a hundred year flood, but a thousand years flood. Just don't think it'll be another thousand years before this happens again!
We need a better government. Some who cares about us.
Govern yourself. Do you need someone to tell you what to do and steal your money?
@@helvetii42 it’s a great theory but reality tells a different story.
Hope all you people can get back on your feet, thank you for this video may god be with you. all the best from England

Thank you! I subbed, & sharing your channel. 🙏♥️
❤😢God bless you, young man, for showing us places that others r not. I can tell that u r very proud to live in NC! Helene was a once in 3-4 generations storm. Even if folks r what we call Preppers, how would they have carried out heavy tubs of food, supplies etc? They would have drowned trying to load things in a truck!!😢 5 yrs ago in May was mine & my husband’s first time to stay in West NC. Friends gave us a wk at their Lk Lure cabin! We did the normal things but also took loooong drives! How we fell in ❤ w west NC! I was born an Ozarkian from SW Missouri, so trees n mtns r my jam! However, I have lived in FL better part of 50 yrs. OK. 😤How DARE people try and lay blame about building to close to the river/lake!! Have they ever looked at FL? The west side of CA? The entire eastern seaboard? 😳I personally DO get a bit upset at folks who build so very close to the ocean or gulf. Will it stop? NO! The highest point in FL is in the middle of the state. Sugarloaf Mt. is a whoppin 345’ above sea level! But when a hurricane hits anywhere in FL, 90% of folks never say a word about why businesses and homes r built on our beaches!
Know that there r millions of Jesus lovin folks who r donating and praying diligently for wise decisions and cool tempers as weeks go on. Many of us cannot come to physically help y’all, but we ARE just as concerned! 🦅 Psalm 91
Back in the 60’s we burned our trash in a burn barrel-Big ole metal barrel.
God bless everyone I’m so sorry love from 🇨🇦
I don’t want to be “one of those people,” but this looks like weather modification to me. They have done it before. In fact, they just did it in Abu Dhabi, trying to make it rain, and everything got flooded. Too much rain. I don’t know what’s afoot, but I would keep an eye on Kings Mt., NC, and see what happens to that lithium there. This is a battle of good vs. evil, and we need to win this one, you guys. Keep the faith❤️
There's a video I posted on X about the WM. They've done it before.
HollyKai2
Maybe not useful on a big scale but we used canoes multiple times to get supplies into cutoff hollers. ( Easier than hiking it in anyway)
Please keep us updated. I wonder why they shut the dump down?
Because FEMA probably told them to shutdown like they did in St, Pete, FL. 😮
My mother is from south eastern Kentucky in coal country. She has told me stories about how in the spring if they had some snow in the winter and they get a big storm come through they would have to leave the house and head up the mountain from the creek that turned into a raging river. They had there house up on concrete pillars and it would still come up to the house. She said it never came close to what she has seen in videos lately of the area that got hit. I've seen videos where the river was up 40 feet above normal level! I've seen I beams in river beds twisted and mangled. Huge boulders in places that wasn't before. This is a once in a 1,000 years event and there was no way to prepare for it. We just have to respond and do our best. And all of the conspiracy theory, political nut jobs, and keyboard warrior asshats need to shut their mouths!
Thank you for the videos
Why isn't the military there building a temporary bridge where needed. This is horrific. How this government is allowing these people in all these places with no help.
I saw someone say that in western NC they are still in search and recovery mode. There are hundreds and hundreds of bridges out. Thousands of roads destroyed. Even if they had the materials to repair them all immediately (which they don't, because no country keeps that level of resource just lying around), they don't have the manpower as they are still searching for people, and trying to rescue those stranded.
Not to mention, with so many bridges out...how do you carry the materials to repair them? The roads which would support the heavy equipment are gone. The reason civilian helicopters have been doing so many S&R missions is because the military has large helicopters, and large ground vehicles. In open country that's fine, but in these narrow valleys they are physically too big to fit.
I've been watching the footage and marvelling that any trucks can get through - what's left of the roads is often so narrow and broken up. People didn't bring in mules and horses for the joy of it - those animals are able to clamber over terrain that not even ATVs could cross, and you can't ship in an endless supply of either. Nor can those animals carry endless amounts. They have to prioritise food, fuel, and medicine, over building materials.
The biggest answer to your question though, is just the scale. If it was one valley, one town - hell, even a dozen, it would be possible to send in the resources to get people on their feet. But this thousands of valleys. Hundreds of towns. Thousands more isolated houses! And where the roads haven't been washed out, they're often buried under the same mudslides which have destroyed so many houses which were built up in the ridges - on the higher ground, away from the water which so many people have decried. The magnitude of this disaster cannot be understated. No country in the world could respond to this any faster.
Ya. We’re Grieving also. It all hasn’t be processed . Let the people Help .it’s a way for them to process this loss . Your video was awesome with the picture. We can understand better .. Keep The Faith. , Help Is On The Way .
I’ve got access to two possibly three Volvo C306 TGB Troop transport rigs sitting in Wyoming. These are like 16 passenger military transport vehicles with 6 Wheel drive they will go anywhere, including rivers. I would not want be in anybody’s way if I was to travel down, and diminish available fuel supplies with a long trip.
I’m not sure who to contact, but that’s great that you want to help and have this resource you’re willing to bring! God bless you! ❤👍🏽
My God the destruction is unbelievable...lets get these people help
When I saw Bumpas Cove from the James Elliot Bridge I cried....
Is that the bridge on Hwy 81 right there near the Bumpas Cove Rd ?
Thank you Thank you!
Well over a 100 year flood is not expected. Hurricanes usually torture just slightly inland with that much rain. Houston for instance 54". So these people had no way to expect this was going to happen and the watershed off the mountains funneled the water to the lowest place making it so much worse. Most homes on mountains don't need flood insurance, some near water do, sometimes if your in that 100 year zone they won't let u buy it. Just saying. Sending all Y'all condolences, prayers for comfort and recovery. Up in Wisconsin we r collecting supplies for relief too. God bless.
Good job from citizen journalist.
Great video and your amazing updates! I wish and pray that you fine people nothing but the best. New subscriber here.
I survived the 2013 floods in Colorado for 8 days on a mountain with 5 other neighbors, our first experience with that kind of flooding was 1976 with catastrophic flooding, they thought they had it figured out after 1976, but the river came back in 2013 and said watch this.. we aren't even subject to hurricanes, both floods were just rain storms.. and I realize there has been no flooding in the area for a long time, but you HAVE to be aware that these rivers, creeks and valleys have been formed over thousands of years of water and yes flooding, trapped between 2 mountains the water can only go UP when ours broke out of the canyon it was a wall of 33+ ft high....People who don't understand mountain living are the ones who make the statements about rivers not changing,.. the course of the Big Thompson in Colorado has changed twice in my lifetime. us mountain people are tough and resilient, my best and thoughts to all those there.
I grew up in Colorado, and I now live in NC with my husband. Remember how the water tossed boulders around like pebbles, and cars were buried under mud and never recovered. The fury of water from flasflooding down a ravine cannot be underestimated.
@@monicamoore7597 Some of those cars are still in the river and couldn't be recovered buried under boulders, just parts of them sticking up out of the water and in Glen Haven there is still a car sitting up in a tree,17 ft off the ground from the 2013 flooding. I remember sitting on our mountain watching as the water rolled a boulder the size of a cement truck barrel like you would roll a marble..
I have a house in LITTLE GERMANY a lot of friends there they say it will be a month before they can get out ,they are helicoptering supplies in hang in there ROGER,GORDON,JOEY,JOE,BOB, and all the rest
God bless you ! Question : Do you know how I can get in touch with this guy who is doing these videos ? Name/number/email ???
Thank you ! You are awsome for showing us these videos
I am in new Orleans. Tell people there is no place to hide or go or prep when the Lord sends judgment over the world.
God bless you
I was surprised how well your roads were cleared up. Thats a big infrustructure recovery and self sufficiency boon which will make the next several months and years to come more possible. Msy something be done all the way to Germantown.
People who have never experienced such have no clue. This water was record levels not even in flood zones. The eye of the storm sit for 3 hours dumping over 21 inches of rain. No matter were you lived you would of been under water. Praying for all it's a total disaster. The worst is yet to come most didint have flood insurance due to not on flood zone are can't get unless through government and it's to much money praying for all
Prayers from East TN. Stay strong in the Lord, my friends
