    I've been thru 3 floods living at coastal NC. You'd think rain water is clean but flood waters are nasty. What's left behind when the waters gone will cause serious infections if you scrape or cut yourself on anything that was underwater.
    During the 3 floods , I never saw my neighbors house floating by , pontoon boats coming over a dams spillway or had to pull someones body from the water.
    I'm really sorry to have seen what you good people have endured. I know what its like to lose a home.but the devastation there is like nothing Ive seen. God bless you all. I will keep all in my prayers.
    NC loves you and wont forget you .

      There's already a Vibrio outbreak in Florida.
      I don't see how any of the waters could be safe for a very long time. At least 1000 are still missing, besides the hundreds of bodies they already pulled out. Wasnt just 200 either, the residents will tell you..Thousands of vehicles, oil & gas & freon, , those homes with their AC'S, cleaning products, paints, the business & factories. All that won't dissolve in a few months.

      In my humble opinion, it's war here too. It's not just in Ukraine, etc. I wish people could recognize what is really happening and going on here, there, and everywhere. It's war. This is war. It's just not like in the movies where bombs are dropping and missiles are flying. So, people can't see what is happening or recognize what this really is because it's a war like never before. This war is the whole world. And, this will be the last one in my opinion and according to the Bible. Jesus Christ is who is coming soon. The signs of HIS coming are everywhere. This is Biblical Prophecy Fulfillment unfolding right before our eyes. Now is the time to repent and turn away from any evil and surrender to God the Father. I'm not trying to push my beliefs onto anyone. But, it is my responsibility as a Christian to speak the truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Blessings.... Praise God for His Mercy and Grace. If you're still alive, then there's still time to get right with the Creator of All of Creation..

    I have watched many interviews with flood victims. One elderly lady stood out. She indicated that the road beside her river was built entirely upon a foundation of mine tailings. The road and its foundation of mine tailings were completely destroyed along several stretches of the river (somewhere in the Nolichucky watershed). Mine tailings being placed next to a water way is very unusual. Frequently, strong chemical solutions are utilized in the seperation processes, and tailings are generally kept segregated for good reasons. All waterways, public water supplies, and all well water should be tested repeatedly for the next year.

    • @kowashy03
      @kowashy03 9 часов назад +9

      for the most part yes products from mines are separated with chemicals. in this case i think when she refers to mine tailings she is referring to large rock/boulder that wasnt ever subject to chemical flotation. i live in the area where there are tons of old mines from before chemical analysis. plenty of people use giant rocks, sand, gravel from the mines for all sorts of things, on their property, under the roads. youll find it everywhere. just rocks
      edit: even the mines that did chemical separation there is thousands upon thousands of tons of rock left over that was never processed. just sitting there

      We haven't even pulled all the dead bodies out of the water yet, and the Cadaver Dogs are dying from the toxicity of both the French Broad and the Nolichucky. They are so polluted with not only the coal tailings & septic, but the nuclear waste dump {there's a superfund site right on the river}no one seems to be talking about. The plastic plant, the mines, the asbestos from most of the older homes that washed away, and much more is never portrayed in this "PBS water report"... The State of NC is still saying under 200 people died, but we all know that's nowhere near accurate. Thankfully I'm at a very high elevation, and my well water and home are fine. We've got solar and have been preparing for years. However those at lower elevations are not. I didn't see anyone from a legacy Media News crew interview the folks who are living on their land in tents, to stop the thieves from stealing, or because they have nowhere else to go. Now, the State is removing children from what's left of their families and homes, if they don't have a 'modern house', and these kids are already traumatized. They need their family, Not a foster home. This is the worst disaster our State and Federal Government has ignored in my 67 years of life... I thought East Palestine OH & Lahaina Maui was bad, but this is much worse. Don't let PBS fool you...

      Shallow wells should be monitored. Deep wells not so much unless compromised. Also depends on the under surface geology. Here in Missouri we have cave systems that can take surface water underground and then pop back out miles away back to the surface in springs. If it is underground long enough and filtered enough it is fine but I lived on a spring where rain twenty five miles away would come out near me two days later. I never used that spring water for anything but showers. The slopes that the water entered were nearly all cattle pasture so E Coli was going into the caves and coming out in my spring. We knew all of this from dye tracing the waterway underground. Not all of the caves were even on the surface but crack in the limestone and sink holes were letting the surface water into the caves and running under a ridge to my area. Strange to not even have rain, sometimes sunny days, but over there would downpour and two days later our spring run would flood out of it's banks.

      Those are not aliencrafts. They were manufactured in Lockheed or Skunkworks from crashed benevolent alien craft the clandestine hidden government shot down with scalar technology. This disaster was planned which is why 2 buses of illegal aliens from the southern border were dropped off 2 days before the disaster. May the survivors be blessed beyond anything I can imagine. This is a planned land grab.

      Shame on you. These people have lost everything. I checked your RUclips channel. You like to make nasty comments about Trump supporters. Do you realize that Asheville, NC, is mainly occupied by democrats? Not that it matters. This was a disaster lame brain.
      And your Biden administration hasn't helped any of these people. The FEMA director is being grilled by congress because the FEMA staff were told not to help Trump supporters. You and your fellow democrats did this!

    good to hear the levels were ok. Other reports were saying just the opposite I'm not sure why. Maybe certain areas (other towns) are toxic and others aren't ? I really don't know. Makes you wonder why people would make stuff up. I guess for clicks on you tube. That would be a sad person who would do that.
