Thankful you didn't have much damaged. Bless you!

Subbed from Oklahoma. Know it or not, YOU are the media getting the real news out, now. The MSM is refusing to report on the true devastation, and the Fed Gov is not only refusing aid, they are actively hampering private rescue/aid efforts. Praying for you guys

Having a storm hit at night is hard! Yeah, cleanup is going to take a long time.😐 Be safe.❤

Just curious what kind of bike are you riding

Glad everyone is safe down that way. Unfortunately there are areas in the mountains that have been geographically changed by this storm and will take months or years even to get back to normal. Lost a car to an oak tree but everyone is safe and no damage to the house so all is well. Good luck to yall thanks for the video

Thanks for the ride! What make/model is it? Praying for you all! Keep looking Up, Jesus is coming soon! All who call upon His Name, shall be Saved

Thank you so much for reporting since communications are down.

Nice place ❤🌸🐦‍⬛🐨

Thanks very much for your excellent video tour. I have friends in western TN, eastern NC and upstate SC and haven’t spoken to any of them. While the fallen tree damage and power outages are serious in your area I was glad to see that you all don’t have the devastation that other areas received. Stay safe, hope you get help with that huge tree! 🥰🐅

Now'd be a great time to go into the firewood business. Start stacking cords and wait for them to dry. It'd be a really nice vacay in a couple years. 😅

Prayers from Florida, if I had the money for gas I'd be up there helping, no shame in you guys being scared of something like this, especially when you guys don't typically get these kinds of things. Absolutely sick how FEMA isn't helping you all, glad private citizens are stepping up the efforts and hoping you all can get back to normal pretty quick.

Halloween is so ruined . . but you got the HORROR

The Bearded Grump is yummy! I’m subscribing!

This has happened before. Do you not remember Hugo?

Nice video, but please put gloves on. If you fall🥲

Uhm, YES WE HAVE!!! Hurricane HUGO. Became a Cat 5 after landfall and went right through here.

Man you have nothing to deal with compared to Western North Carolina and Upper East Tennessee.

Looking hard for a blessing, firewood for everyone.

Wow

Where where you during Hugo? 1989. Lancaster SC..my grandparents were still alive and were living there. Got hit pretty hard

Hurricane Hugo in 1989?

Thank you for sharing your story. I know it will help others see that there can be light on the other side. Glad you made it through.

Thank you and I’m so glad your home is safe. I hope you all get power on soon. Stay strong!!

Carnage!!!

You were blessed!

Here in the western Virginia mountains/hollows we’ve had about 8 days of soaking rain, with yesterday being the driest. Our middle river is at flood stage 1/2 mile from our hollow. Our house sits on a ridge on the hollow. This morning we have large bull pine on our roof. A live tree with roots pulling out of the ground. We’ve got 100+ year old white pines all around our house. If they b/c unstable we’re screwed.

The cars on the road look apocalyptic

I'm from Asheville. I live in Winston Salem now but my mother and siblings are there. One sister lives near Mars Hill College and they had power and water yesterday but still no cell service. My mother is west of Asheville and nothing is on, only near downtown but still spotty. My nephew's wife is a nursing supervisor at Mission and she said 4 pick up trucks full of bodies were dropped off at the morgue Saturday night. There is no describing the devastation.

Dam..take care. I grew up there. Living IBX NC now. We got a little weather here. Prayers to everyone. Still have plenty of friends and family in upstate SC and NC.

This just blows me away! I've lived just outside of Charleston in West Ashley for 5 years now and work right on the peninsula. Rain didn't start till about 2pm on Thursday, it got heavy at times but not serious, and winds didn't start till early Friday morning, but again nothing serious. I saw some branches down but no trees. Lost power Friday morning while getting ready for work, but it was restored by the time I got home. The sun was coming out by Friday afternoon.

It's almost like hurricanes are getting worse due to climate change! Who would have thought it?

what is your ride you used in this video?

I’m sorry for all the loss of life and damage. I live very near Galveston. I fear every storm that brews near us. I hope you and yours do well.

Lived in Fla on the coast all my life and seen 70 mph winds a few times. Its definitely no joke. We're all praying for y'all.

We got nailed east of Asheville. It's so bad greg

You’re driving awfully fast without knowing what’s ahead!

Ive gone through Hugo. This was no different. I saw 36" of rain fall in 2018 Florence event. I rode that one out on the job. That hurricane lasted 3 days before it cleared out. Helene moved like a speeding freight train. Nothing worse or special about it comparing to the past.

I was born in Greenville lived at Paris mt then moved to Myrtle beach in the mid 80s. I have been through so many storms with Hugo being the worst. I have since then prepared for any storm. We built a concrete room onto our house with 8 in walls and 7 in ceiling. Roll up metal doors. We have a liquid cool 25 kw generator that feeds the whole house that runs off a LP tank buried in the ground. I learned after Hugo not many will come after a storm to help. Our power was off for two weeks. We were not prepared for that. Now I have enough food and water to last two months. We have 4 chain saws and we only store enough gas like 4. 5 gallons cans to run anything that runs on gas. It’s just tragic with this storm Helene the devastation to families. Hope and pray it gets better soon.

Biden won’t help

I had a Facebook friend in Asheville, NC who commented that she "moved to the mountains so she didn't have to worry about hurricanes" when that tropical storm warning went out last week. I thank God that she's safe but her beautiful neighborhood is all but destroyed by falling trees.

I’m in Clover still no electricity but I’m thankful for everyone being safe and praying for the people further north. My daughter is stranded in Asheville but was safe as of yesterday but no cell service

Any word on Landrum/Tryon?

Get used to it because this is going to be the new norm.

I spent many childhood vacations in the beautiful Smokies. I’m not making fun of you. I’m heartbroken 💔 for you. I live in Florida now. The worst of it missed my area plus we know where we live & what to expect. You had no idea what was coming. I am so sorry.

What a mess. Counting our blessings this time around. October 2020, Hurricane Zeta came up through Georgia and dropped a massive pine tree through our house and almost killed my mother as she was sleeping in her bedroom upstairs. This time around I was SO paranoid... I kept waking up when Helene was coming through and making sure she came downstairs to camp on the couch. It didn't hit too badly here, and it's heart breaking to see all the devastation elsewhere. :(

Thanks for posting. I'm up here in VA mountains & so fortunate that we didn't get hit nearly as hard as ya'll and NC. Has anyone confirmed if Asheville road access is completely cut off? I've heard that there's a state route road that is still passable but not sure.

We're in Marietta SC

Crazy the damage you got up there. I live in Florida and experienced several hurricanes. I did get some winds from this but under 2 inches of rain. I didn't lost power this time. I was kind of shocked. In the past I have lost power for 8 days so I can relate to that. Praying for all the lost lives and people effected by the storm.

Butt be puckering up😂

No sir, we had a gust of 140 in Spartanburg.
