Honestly, this coverage piece on western NC is unremarkable and shamefully unmoving. The damage and magnitude of this disaster is so much worse than what was presented here. Countless bridges, roads, and highways are out, smaller towns have been nearly wiped out (if not completely), scores of ppl are still unaccounted for, there is no power, and supplies have to be dropped in by helicopter in many cases. The debris is positively mind-blowing and it is going to take years to rebuild. I used to live in Asheville and it was truly one of the best places to be. A positively vibrant town and community. NBC, you’re a poor excuse for a network and you can shove your phony empathy where the sun does not shine.
I just had an email from my boss about this I will do my best to gather supplies especially for the babies that need formula and diapers and clothes anything helps praying to god

@@dastrnadThe Biden-Harris Administration continues to lead a robust Federal response to help impacted communities in the wake of Hurricane Helene. The Administration is working around the clock and mobilizing every resource available to support life-saving response efforts in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. The President and Vice President continue to receive regular briefings from their teams, including today, and Administration officials remain in constant communication with state and local officials to ensure they have the support and resources they need. President Biden has spoken with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, and Asheville Mayor Esther Manheimer, along with other state and local officials in the impacted areas to offer further assistance as needed. This afternoon, the President was briefed by Governor Cooper and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell from the field following surveys of Helene’s impacts across the State. Vice President Harris also received an in-person briefing at FEMA today and has been in touch with Governor Cooper, Governor Kemp, Greenville Mayor Knox White, and Savannah Mayor Van Johnson.
Different people have different needs some can manage fine with limited water. They may very well had other more pressing issues than water. But you know all their issues so you're allowed to be snarky.
I think it’s to give the people watching with plenty of water to drink perspective on how bad it is over there as we all don’t realize how important having plenty of water is as we use a lot of it everyday without giving much thought.
They did some work on the water lines in my neighborhood recently and they gave us no notice - and the water was down for about 12 hours. By the time it restarted I could no longer flush and had nothing to drink other than milk and couldn't even brush my teeth or was my hands. I bought a small reservoir bag off Amazon that will hold 50 gallons to keep in the yard by the house. Prepare people. Life always happens.
WHAT?? At the height of the storm, more than 1.2 million gallons per second flowed thru the Nolichucky River near Erwin, Tennessee, more than the daily flow on the Niagara Falls? Did I hear that right?
When people were being rescued off the hospital roof, there was a video where the guy on the phone said it was 100,000 of whatever unit is used to measure in whitewater rafting.
To those not currently a part of this crisis- PLEASE have a good food and water supply as well as other emergency items like medical supplies and matches etc- if you’re lucky, you’ll never need them but if a time like this befalls you, then you’ll hopefully have a bit more to be prepared than you would otherwise
I don't believe you can boil everything out of water. I believe some chemicals and toxins remain. I was looking into different ways to purify water. Interesting story there!
I think reverse osmosis would be best... but not 100% sure...but I think it takes everthing out... even minerals....so you have to even remineralize it... I'm pretty sure they make portable ones... I saw a video of a guy reverse osmosis gross looking contaminated swamp water... I think it would be better than boiling it but not sure.
You should really cover all the surrounding towns that are getting little to no media coverage. Where are the billionaires that could save lives for these people??
Pretty sure thats not a Rule in the Billionaires Handbook. They made their money exploiting peons like this, not spending it helping them. You must be new.
access is limited you know. plus just documenting this is enough. people are going to soon forget like they do other disasters. coverage doesnt do what you think it does

This is about Asheville which was a disaster before Helene. The rest of WNC is doing pretty well with many having already gone back to work. I am right in the middle of it and I got power back tonight.
Not trimming the grass, buildings built out of wood instead of stone and mortar, lazy cheap building individuals cutting corners not repairing building infested with termite damage and the local authorities not given enough funding for training to be better equipt to handle these things, thats why it burned to the ground

I live in Southern Virginia and I thought we were going to be lucky to survive, then I saw what happened to Ashville just 2 hours from me , it was a shock

This shows how far removed humans are from their natural survival instincts and skills. Dependent on power, cell phones, and city water.

FEMA is there, National Guard is there, 50,000 other people were on standby to go in as soon as possible after it hit. Everything that is humanly possible is being done. It's not easy when every highway was impassable. They are using helicopters to get supplies in.

Please see this and take steps this week to prepare for yourself and your families. I have a 16 foot cargo trailer that i store all my emergency supplies. I have 5 plastic bins with essentials one for medical including splints and tourniquets, one for cooking stove pots butane water filters, one with clothes, one with paperwork, and one with odds n ends (duct tape, wire ties, paracord, tool sets, shelter material, blankets). I have 5 portable solat generators with panels. A 12v fridge, usb lites and fans as well as heating pads. I carry 100 gallons of water and 200 lbs of dog food. Battery powered chain saw that can be recharged thru my solar system. My trailer is a hard sided shelter for me and my dogs. I can evacuate to anywhere in an hr. Most time to get my dogs loaded into their crates and hook up my trailer. My truck always has a full tank of gas. Also carry emergency cash funds. Dont wait. Put something together now. You can get prepared survival mre off amazon. It may not be tasty but it will keep you alive.
Well, the right thing to do would be to deliver it to the people that need it now, or you can just gloat about having it all and not sharing with people in desperate need now. 🤔
@@anneann9127 it is being delivered to the people. My point is we all need to take responsibility for ourselves and not expect the government to save the day while complaining it is not good enough or fast enough.
We’ve known about the compromised infrastructure for decades! We’ve known climate change was real for decades! The saddest part of this tragedy is much of it was preventable! And we know there will be more storms like this in the near future!
Government has totally let NC down. The locals are doing the efforts. The media aren't covering the small communities. FEMA hasn't been seen in the cutoff regions.
Believe it or not the government can do both. Also you guys hate socialism so pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and figure it out. You also don't want to pay taxes but sure love to get mine.
Foreign aid, like rockets? Not sure if that’d help. However, the governor of Tennessee signed a “day of prayer” declaration while every other state in the area declared a state of emergency, which was then green lighted immediately by the Biden administration. Seems a few days of prayer didn’t work, so Gov. Lee finally asked for federal assistance yesterday, which was also approved immediately.
@@venom5809the federal government providing aid during a natural disaster is not even remotely close to socialism. Nice try. Why do we pay a third of our income to the Fed if they can't even do something this basic for it's own citizens. That's why people hate the Fed and hate taxes, billions for foreign countries and little to none for the taxpayer in times of need. Not hard to understand
Instead of suffering listening to some brain dead talking head news reporter, this a far more sobering means to witness the aftermath. Godspeed your recovery.
They have not experienced a hurricane before and don’t know what to do. I feel bad for them, but they had no idea that this was possible and I don’t think pointing fingers is going to help anyone. After Katrina, people had to learn from the mistakes and do better for the next storm.
The mountains get hit with hurricanes all the time. It causes a little flooding, a few mudslides, maybe damages a road or two. They repair it and life goes on. This was on a scale not seen for a century or more.
Unless you are familiar with the topography, you would not understand. Roads are gone....nonexistent...no more. Sides of mountains are on either side of now non-existent road, so you can't just drive around a blocked road; roads are washed out; the ground is unstable, and mudslides have occurred. In some places, locals have been able to create a patched together path. It is a mess.

ِ[5:109] In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers, and saith: What was your response (from mankind) ? they say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden, [5:110] When Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy Spirit, so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic; [5:111] And when I inspired the disciples, (saying): Believe in Me and in My messenger, they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have surrendered (unto Thee) "we are muslims". [5:112] When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is thy Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven ? He said: Observe your duty to Allah, if ye are true believers. [5:113] (They said:) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses. [5:114] Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers. [5:115] Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieveth of you afterward, him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I have not punished any of (My) creatures. [5:116] And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah ? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden ? [5:117] I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things. [5:118] If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise. [5:119] Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph. [5:120] Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein, and He is Able to do all things. ___

FEMA is there, National Guard is there, 50,000 other people were on standby to go in as soon as possible after it hit. Everything that is humanly possible is being done. It's not easy when every highway was impassable. They are using helicopters to get supplies in.
@@dpharr100 on the ground
National guard is there
FEMA on the ground, guardsmen been there since Saturday, air national guard, approval for troops from 2 military bases are being processed to arrive.
They've been there. What are you doing?
🙃🤗🤔🤭😏😒🙄Good for the Dad and Mom for exclaiming to imply, ''What!? - Are You Seriously Going to Asking Such STUPID Questions, SAM BROCK THE CROCK!?''😠😡🤬😤🤬😡😠

You can get prepared survival mre off amazon. It may not be tasty but it will keep you alive.
Well, the right thing to do would be to deliver it to the people that need it now, or you can just gloat about having it all and not sharing with people in desperate need now. 🤔
@@anneann9127 it is being delivered to the people. My point is we all need to take responsibility for ourselves and not expect the government to save the day while complaining it is not good enough or fast enough.
Well, if all that got washed away in a flood you would be back to having nothing. Like these people.
Right on! ✊🏼
You ppl are swimming in water, did you all forget how to boil it ?.
We’ve known about the compromised infrastructure for decades! We’ve known climate change was real for decades! The saddest part of this tragedy is much of it was preventable! And we know there will be more storms like this in the near future!
@@kevinfurgason5027 Wow, tell us you’ve never taken a basic science course without telling us. 😂
You can thank republicans for destroying the environment.
There was a flood like this a century ago in the NC mountains. In 1916 and 1940 there were terrible floods.
Man cut the climate change crap! There have been storms and weather events like this since the stone ages.
Are you kidding me?? is it a lifeline? Would it be for your family? Give me a break.
Stand with Ukraine!
Government has totally let NC down. The locals are doing the efforts. The media aren't covering the small communities. FEMA hasn't been seen in the cutoff regions.
But our government is too busy sending foreign aid and even national guard overseas.
Yeah, israel is milking us to a critical point.
Believe it or not the government can do both. Also you guys hate socialism so pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and figure it out. You also don't want to pay taxes but sure love to get mine.
Foreign aid, like rockets? Not sure if that’d help. However, the governor of Tennessee signed a “day of prayer” declaration while every other state in the area declared a state of emergency, which was then green lighted immediately by the Biden administration. Seems a few days of prayer didn’t work, so Gov. Lee finally asked for federal assistance yesterday, which was also approved immediately.
Hey comrade... how's the weather in Moscow?
@@venom5809the federal government providing aid during a natural disaster is not even remotely close to socialism. Nice try. Why do we pay a third of our income to the Fed if they can't even do something this basic for it's own citizens. That's why people hate the Fed and hate taxes, billions for foreign countries and little to none for the taxpayer in times of need. Not hard to understand
Instead of suffering listening to some brain dead talking head news reporter, this a far more sobering means to witness the aftermath. Godspeed your recovery.
How important is the water and food for Palestinian peoples and children
Americans will learn to live without municipal utilities to prepare for the next natural disaster.
Yup
But many might perish because they dont know how to live without these things too
NBC you need to train your reporters on the questions they're asking, stop asking dumb questions
Green Mountain was hit hard.
if we discussed how to make 6km inflatable artificial mountains we would have stopped this,
" I was not aware there was a latin american community here." What does that have to do with anything??
Id come help yall but im too busy watching youtube vedios and commenting...........
They have not experienced a hurricane before and don’t know what to do. I feel bad for them, but they had no idea that this was possible and I don’t think pointing fingers is going to help anyone. After Katrina, people had to learn from the mistakes and do better for the next storm.
The mountains get hit with hurricanes all the time. It causes a little flooding, a few mudslides, maybe damages a road or two. They repair it and life goes on.
This was on a scale not seen for a century or more.
Reporters are dim, very dim. Virtually everyone knows you can survive about 3 days without water and then you are cooked.
Stupid question award goes to the interviewer
the age old question, what would you rather have, your hearing aids, or your teeth?
There are people in other countries in North Carolina need help.
Drinking water and food crises in Gaza 😢
Impact plastic need to pay
Wether it be Flint or North Carolina, Americas water system needs a major over haul. We are Americans, what is this nowadays?
The water system was fine here before trees, boulders and rushing water struck the treatment plants and washed pipes away.
@@LulaMae21 well it isn’t now and it isn’t around the country. We need to think about all of us not just some.
Why do they ask dumb question really .I would have given him a look he would have gone to the next question .
God bless be safe
Air lifting water? Food? Come on.
Unless you are familiar with the topography, you would not understand. Roads are gone....nonexistent...no more. Sides of mountains are on either side of now non-existent road, so you can't just drive around a blocked road; roads are washed out; the ground is unstable, and mudslides have occurred. In some places, locals have been able to create a patched together path. It is a mess.

Just like FAKE NEWS MEDIA REPORTERS, what a stupid question. HOW IMPORTANT IS WATER FOR YOUR FAMILY. GTFOH
People’s expectations of government is so out of whack. What agency could be prepared for this?
Where can we help?!
Carolina.Gov TN.gov Florida.gov

Now they feel like they are on death row!
ِ[5:109] In the day when Allah gathereth together the messengers, and saith: What was your response (from mankind) ? they say: We have no knowledge. Lo! Thou, only Thou art the Knower of Things Hidden,
[5:110]
When Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour unto thee and unto thy mother; how I strengthened thee with the holy Spirit, so that thou spakest unto mankind in the cradle as in maturity; and how I taught thee the Scripture and Wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel; and how thou didst shape of clay as it were the likeness of a bird by My permission, and didst blow upon it and it was a bird by My permission, and thou didst heal him who was born blind and the leper by My permission; and how thou didst raise the dead by My permission; and how I restrained the Children of Israel from (harming) thee when thou camest unto them with clear proofs, and those of them who disbelieved exclaimed: This is naught else than mere magic;
[5:111]
And when I inspired the disciples, (saying): Believe in Me and in My messenger, they said: We believe. Bear witness that we have surrendered (unto Thee) "we are muslims".
[5:112]
When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is thy Lord able to send down for us a table spread with food from heaven ? He said: Observe your duty to Allah, if ye are true believers.
[5:113]
(They said:) We wish to eat thereof, that we may satisfy our hearts and know that thou hast spoken truth to us, and that thereof we may be witnesses.
[5:114]
Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Allah, Lord of us! Send down for us a table spread with food from heaven, that it may be a feast for us, for the first of us and for the last of us, and a sign from Thee. Give us sustenance, for Thou art the Best of Sustainers.
[5:115]
Allah said: Lo! I send it down for you. And whoso disbelieveth of you afterward, him surely will I punish with a punishment wherewith I have not punished any of (My) creatures.
[5:116]
And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah ? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden ?
[5:117]
I spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.
[5:118]
If Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise.
[5:119]
Allah saith: This is a day in which their truthfulness profiteth the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure for ever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph.
[5:120]
Unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is therein, and He is Able to do all things.
