Thank God for the young and the healthy. I was 41 in 03 when Isabel knocked so many trees down on us in virginia. I cut trees for a week just to get out of my neighborhood. I don't believe I could do it now. I pray to Jesus each day to watch over us all and to guide us through this time on earth.
We had the exact thing happen here, South of Houston. We had major flooding and high winds. Took out 6 trees on this property alone. Then hurricane beryl hit a week later. Weird.
My kids live near the Barnardsville,Marshall,mars hill area. No power, flooded,no phone service etc. can’t get in touch with any of them. Prayers for all
Asheville checking in. No cell, no power, no water. Hospital on backup generators and out of water. The French Broad is slowly receding. All major highways in or out are washed out, bridges collapsed or trees in way. Hoping National Guard and Fema make way in.
My heart goes out to you and everyone affected by Helene. We were planning a trip to Asheville next month considering a potential move from the gulf coast of Florida. We were safe this time but feel like sitting ducks.
1:33 The road is actually called highway 321 and there signs at Lenoir and Blowing Rock ‘Fog likely next eight miles’ and it is a tense drive When it closes in. The damage from this storm made this road even more scary…
Andrew was a catastrophe for south florida. I dont know the numbers but it pretty much wiped out homestead, fl. Either way, this is devastating for the people it affects 😢
Live in Houston But from Boone, Hugo 89 was like this people had to be air lifted rescued. My yard was a river. Had to rebuild roads with large rocks on the dirt roads so 4 wheel drives could get out at least
The ppl that live in the mountains were already dirt poor living in homes that should have been condemned 50 years ago. 90% of that mountainous region lives on government assistance. I bet the government will be relocating most in those small towns.
Hwy 17 ,Hwy 26 qnd and interstate 40 are now missing bridges. Not sure of exact locations but this clean up isnt going to be quick. I would also advise that if you are traveling 64 thru Polj county pay attention because that are has road washing out and is known for mudslides.
Praying for everyone. I live on a mountain in TN. I’m thanking God that He put me on a mountain but we get trapped in as well sometimes due to trees. I’m praying for everyone.
Praying for everyone affected - we will have rain two more days here in Indiana but I consider myself very blessed that we didn't lose electricity or have any trees come down. Go away Helene!

This will likely bankrupt some insurers since so many homeowners are already saying no to higher premiums. Natural forces at work. Hopefully federal, state, and local govmints don't interject since that is the number 1 reason for ALL mispricing since 2020 in specific. The cleansing of the entire system is long overdue.
A national catastrophe. This is why you " PREP". THIS IS WHY YOU STOCKPILE ,AT LEAST , ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES. I AM SENDING PRAYERS FOR EVERYONE. NO ONES KNOWS WHEN THEY COULD BE EFFECTED BY EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. GOD BE WITH EVERYONE.
@shirleybalinski4535 You made a very good point!! This sort of thing always shows us that all material things can be destroyed, as mentioned in the Bible .
They all will end up depending on the government. Whether that's local, state or federal. Don't kid yourself. If the help wasn't coming, people would be complaining about not getting help. We all have to work together. It doesn''t hurt to say thank you either.
In the aftermath of Helene, benefit from my misfortune and do not compound your problems: beware of an outfit called “Samaritan’s Purse’. These people showed up in my neighborhood in NJ after Superstorm Sandy offering to help. I was away at the time and my wife let them in. The end result was over $10,000 in property stolen over a couple day period. SP disclaimed any liability and said they really didn’t do any background on their volunteers and didn’t even have records of who they were. So proceed accordingly.
My brother lives in Elizabethton, TN. Five people were sheltering in their home when it washed away with them inside. He said that they are all presumed dead.
NC usually gets flooding from hurricanes. People kinda used to it. However, this one caught even the weather people a bit off guard. They were predicting "near record flooding" that most folks had built back away from years ago. What actually came was flooding that busted those records, in some few places by 7-12 feet.
that's what storm and rain bands are...they are on the outer edges of the storm systems related to the tropical depressions/storms and hurricanes, and they hit before the "actual" trop. storm/hurricane does (in quotes because it's all part of the same system, but can hit days before depending on the size). Helene was 400+ miles across, so the storm bands from that system were very far reaching before the central hurricane (then tropical storm) hit.
Reporter: ".....he was there not to meet people he doesn't know, he was there to help...," Bless his heart, he can really talk up a storm, doesn't he? 🙂
Governor and other executives making up excuses for not having any plans for emergencys.Public service agency's also will brag about well they handle emergencys.All the time knowing they are incompetent.
I though people were supposed to pull themselves up by the boot straps, be smart, prepare and stop relying on government for assistance. Confused...which is it?
So I have an observation here, the governor a democrat cut off only got a few words in, why was he cut off, had he been a republican they would’ve let him speak. Thats not right, that’s being raciest I know it’s about the damage that was done ? If you didn’t want him speaking then you should’ve cut that whole segment out!
