im in a little town in Va Chilhowie Va and were under water .. every neighbor around me is under water.. i pray we can recover from this , I've seen videos of chimney rock, or whats left of it, Lake Lure is petty much gone too.
@@obsidian7644 lol Duke Energy will do that the first Tuesday after never. Not to mention the last time I was there, the mountains had been torn up for new development. This is what happens when you tear up the trees and the soil has no absorption capacity because it’s bare dirt and pavement.

@@davedixon2068 the post literally said “ignoring the state needs” not “the county needs”, so no, I stand by my response, and again, my comment holds, the people above have their priorities paid for, so you and me don’t matter in this country, one hurricane or 10, the system is just not made for us! The least we can do is call it out.
What are the most comprehensive resources covering this serious, tragic situation, and I’m talking about all of the mountains, not just Asheville. The national news media lost interest quickly, At least one national weather forecaster calling at the Blue Ridge, the blue Mountains…. 😮😢😮😢
Get some footage of towns WEST of Asheville, many have family there not in affluent Asheville that can't get in contact with anyone due to no cell towers or power.
A whole bunch of wealthy out-of-staters moved to Asheville a few years ago citing safety from climate impacts, PBS did a special on it. I suppose they were wrong.
Judging by the geography, it looks like you have a hurricane over mountains, so the water will naturally pool in the small valleys below, which contain towns. You can simulate this on a small scale in your backyard garden. The situation seemed unavoidable without an extensive storm drain network built for a 100+ year event, which is impractical to build for smaller tier cities in America that don't experience frequent flooding. If weather patterns are changing rapidly, its going to be a big problem.
@@notmethnx Have you heard of the "Waffle House Index" when it comes to how bad a storm is? I imagine that the same thing applies to Tim Hortons in Canada.
Joe's White House phone is ringing off the hook with demands that Uncle Sugar send help to poor little old NC. I say, "Thoughts and Prayers. This is not the time to be telling Jesus who he can't punish."
In upstate SC. We were hit very bad as well. About half the state without power. Prayers for everyone affected by this storm
I saw 41% of the state out of power. Stay safe
Much strength for anybody that needs it.
From the Netherlands
Prayers to all my fellow Americans in North Carolina, I'm in Florida.
The first truckload of prayers just showed up! Thanks for nothing kkkristian
Waffle House closed in Asheville. That's how bad it is!
Who will be the first opened? First opened with drunk fight club?
Those tanks that floated by,….aren’t they full of fuel??
@@gapeachnw4786 Not if they are floating like that.
Arden or Ashville
@@gapeachnw4786 Yeah those propane tanks are full of fuel. Some leaking & propelling the tank.
Thanks WFMY for the videos. Great footage of the flooding. I know people in Asheville.
Terrifying to see propane tanks floating down the road/river.
I think it's kind of cute thbh
They were empty. See how high they are riding? Looks like a storage or sale yard at a dealer was flooded.
@@bixby9797 yes...
@@bixby9797 Propane is much less dense than water. Even if full, it would likely still be afloat.

Praying for NC 🙏
For those unfamiliar with Asheville this is nowhere near the ocean. Asheville is 4 to 5 hourse East. Lots of lakes though, with nowhere to drain to.
You mean West
It's also thousands of feet above sea level. Our state needs power lines underground and a modern grid.

That’s what happens when trees are removed
Wouldn’t be so bad if we would stop overdeveloping literally EVERYTHING in this godforsaken state!
crazy how west carolina is further from the ocean and is mountainous but got all the flooding
That’s what happens when you tear down all the trees to build mansions for the Californians and New Yorkers.

from fayetteville nc ... we got lucky... man, prayers are will all my NC peeps!
True, usually eastern north carolina gets the heavy rain & flooding
To the Survivors Of the Ones that Passed Away... My Condolences. . .
That mudslide:1:48, gave me flashbacks to the mudslide we got here that morning.

Heartbreaking.
Now the seditious redhat crybabies will beg for federal monies.
Wow sad to see all these stuff being gone by the storm
Saying prayers for everybody. Crazy!!
I always thought as trucker only if it rain hard there it would be wild and boi its wild
Boone NC looks just as bad.
@@guitarzan2626 I always get a kick out of the creek river
Thank you for this posting, a terrible time for these folks!
From southcoast of Oregon.
I like the "Keep your speed down" sign in the middle of the 3ft flooded street! LOL.
Any updates on power outage repairs
Interstate 40 is decimated.
That means the State is closed.
😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
A cat 4 is a scary storm. Why new orleans and mississippi got torn to shreds. Praying for everyone's recovery.
I think I-26 is damaged too. If true, western north carolina is truly closed.
Basically the French broad flows through the middle of Asheville now
😢
How was it in Andrews, my mom and sis live there and im worried haven't spoke with them.
Prayers everyone 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How about Burnsville area? 4:05 South Toe River? Roaring fork falls? 85 yr old parents there..so beautiful! Just worried 4:05
Does anyone live in Black Mountain? I can’t find how bad it is and a loved one is not responding to texts and stuff. Stay safe y’all!
Cell towers are down. They are supposed to be bringing in satellite trucks to temporarily provide cell service
Black mountain is about the same
@@jeffboy13 thank you! We found out she is safe. Her neighbors on the other hand…
Any word of conditions in Farmville ?
This is what happens when you ignore the state infrastructure and the need to maintain it!!
Helping are allies in the Middle East with military aid is more important.
@@nidhalabidi so the council of a small town in NC is arming the middle east?? looks like you are wrong again
@@davedixon2068 well, I’m referring to the senator of North carolina’s votes in congress!

I'm praying for all of the people and animals in harms way 🙏🙏🙏❤

i saw a article say 33 people died already
Of course.
Now it may be up to 40

Build anything you want. Who is the boss?
That Starbucks sign was low key aesthetic 🙃
📯🕒⏳⌛; you can thank your government & city planner's for thinking 10 years ahead in city building; instead of thinking 100 years
The city government of Asheville think? lol you’ve confused them with people who have brains.
@@thedeafcattledog8608 You can't blame them though, they are focusing on more important stuff, sending military aid to our ally in the Middle East!

U might not believe in climate change but climate change believes in you
Climate changes twice a year where I live, with two mild transitional periods in between. Has nothing to do with hurricanes or their intensity.

Is Starbucks open?
Maybe that climate change thing isn’t a hoax
Or maybe it was just a hurricane that shifted west instead of east.
Climate change happens throughout history. Hotter and cooler stretches. Google medieval warming period.

USDA just paid my friend a shyt ton of money to rake his 100 acre forest. It promotes growth of desirable trees, and lessens the effect of wildfires.
