Man caused this catastrophic even end of story... weather mod is REAL whether people can grasp the reality of the world they are living in comes down to waking up from generational perpetual ignorance... ran in my family too.. not any more those days are over
Water makes its own path. THIS should humble men, who think theyre so smart, and build things, without realizing or acknowledging that GOD is the ONE WHO makes the path. As a professional OTR driver, I drove this area hundreds of times. Truly one of God's most starkly beautiful Creations!!! 🥰🥰
Maybe not a safe place for those guys at 0:18 to stand beside and below the railroad tracks with the ground washed out underneath. It is interesting yo see the awesome power of nature!
Was the water this unclear previously? It should have settled by now and be running clear I would think, especially over rocks, but it’s clearly not and the water seems filled with sediment or something else to make it the brown colour still.
@@trvman1 People have been running the Nolichucky and many many others for years and occasionally someone is lost. So why would next spring be any different that before??
Anybody that is getting in the river now is an idiot. They might want to check in with the ones testing the water because the last I heard its a no go zone. NC has posted warnings to keep out of the river
One of my favorite places on the AT. Back in the '90s, the trail followed the western ridge, and the views into the gorge were AMAZING!!
Wow the force of water, I live in nc and not heard a train in long time will probably be a long time before we hear another one
Rugged beauty is an understatement.
Magnificent.
wow, that is SO different! I like that left line at on the rocks
i see a creek line around the nasty pourover in 1/4 mile lol
The Riiver has changed, that is the way it is. Man will have to make a way around this change.

The only thing constant in this world is change, everything else changes!
*Nice flight over the river. It appears the river claimed the railroad tracks a while ago. 👍*
Nope. Trains were running on this the day before the storm!!
@@tomt9543 wow!
Any chance of a “Before and After” version of this?
I have paddled the Nolichucky many times but would be very worried about entrapment issues at this point, particularly the railroad debris.

Will the road and rail line be rebuilt?
Beautiful
Those train tracks remind me of human fragility in this system
Are the huge boulders at the Cat hole still in place?
Watch Hobo Shoestrings video of riding the rails on this section from Erwin to see what it looked like before the flood

So are you saying it looks a lot easier? Need before and after shots.
In the spring when the rain comes and some people in kayaks or rafts try and run the river, will probably hear about someone drowning.
Especially on the Green Narrows
People have already ran both the Noli and the Narrows without incident.
@@DenverTide Sure, at low water levels. Let's see what happens at high water levels.

Would imagine the water quality is not as nasty as the French Broad. I would guess the FB is a dead zone
I would so be looking for gold and jewels in the raw. I hope you all find some. Just saying
This amount of water and rocks moved is not natural something is very wrong.
This is nature at one of her strongest points. It is devastating but a natural event.
