None of the videos I've seen on my Android are on the Weather Channels. Just crap filler programs. I've given up on worthless cable television. Thank you You Tubers for sharing your drone footage. I've been to these areas. Words aren't enough... devastating ‼️
❤ So grateful to these brave, generous people who provide us with excellent detailed coverage of the storms and aftermath.They literally risk their lives to bring this service to us for free. While "real" weather people,sit there in a posh,climate controlled office, making $100,000. Please donate to these fine humans. Gas to get to the places they storm chase and film is already super expensive, not to mention the astronomical cost of the special equipment they need to bring us this top notch content.❤🙏
🔥TH-cam 🔥 regular 📺 is goat 🐐 tripe
Agree. Cable, the path to nothingless!
My family is on lake lure. The news doesn’t show crap. News media is worthless
I never watch TV any more. My husband finds out news way after I do. Cable tv is delayed, filtered and selected.
This is awful. Prayers for these people
Unbelievable. Praying for the people involved
Yes me too
This is Gods will…
What you have labeled as Black Mountain is Swannanoa, about 5 miles west of Black Mountain. Trying desperately to see the situation in Black Mountain proper.
You’re not gonna believe this I was in flat rock at the mountain Inn on Wednesday morning checking in, I get a call from Allied universal to come back to be deployed on SERT, I was like I just moved they begged me and said hey you’ll be out for a couple weeks u make good money and you can go back to NC I was supposed to start a job at the Omni Hotel in Asheville on 29th now I’m back from Panama City in altamonte springs Florida, now pretty sure I can’t go back 😢🤬🤦♂️
You're correct. Our friends are from this area and it doesn't look good for them.😢
I left Black Mountain a week ago and if Swannanoa is this bad, Black Mountain will be also. I have friends all over the Asheville area and I want to return as soon as possible. I was only able to contact one friend in Fairview. The waiting is agony.
Hope my post helps you we live in Black Mountain and we drive around the other day.
@@rachelsparling9409 hey so if Omni hotel still needs me black mountain is still livable…. How bad is Swannanoa??? I got to flat rock on Wednesday and same day I got called back to Florida to go to Panama City and got there Thursday at 7pm, since hurricane passed, didn’t hit Panama City got sent home back to altamonte springs Florida on Saturday, now wanted to return to NC but don’t know if I can get around
This is an expensive storm
These scenes will be repeated again and again until we take climate change seriously. Trump has no answer other than "drill, baby, drill."
Lol. @@nankerphelge3771
@@nankerphelge3771 The city of Asheville has major risk from flooding. There are 5,578 properties in Asheville at risk of flooding over the next 30 years. This represents 15.8% of all properties in Asheville. Asheville flooded in 2004 and 2021 too. Maybe something should be done to mitigate flooding in Asheville.
@@nankerphelge3771it’s judgement .. this has nothing to do with climate change
@@gmw1635 Judgement upon big oil and the yahoos who don't believe in science is all. Wake up and smell the coffee.
I’m so sorry for everyone experiencing this. Praying and our thoughts and love are with you. ❤
Dear friends in Swannanoa, tried to send emails but bouncing back...Prayers for you all...❤
We have friends from there who went to Oak Island and are safe. They posted this video and said their area is shown at around 2:09. I feel so helpless and feel bad for what they have to go through!
I think of how many will get sick from the mold left after these flood. Most aren't even aware of how serious and deadly mold can be because mainstream media does not cover it and few doctors ever educated about it. Prayers to all in these storms ❤🙏
Yes. Was thinking the same. And all the cars with flood damage.
mainstream media? ha ha, you are funny. Mainstream media is focused now in making sure kamala and walz get eelcted and turn this country into the next Venezuela or cuba.
Jesus told us to love our neighbors. We are living during interesting ⏲️ times people and must confess sins, repent and turn back to the Lord.
@kelseyfrasier an Insurance industry disaster and we're not done with Hurricane season😮
My house went ten feet under in Virginia from Hurricane Floyd and when I was able to get into the house windows still interacted, when I open door mold formed instantly. I have never seen anything like that since then. I wore a mask to retrieve what was able to be saved and got out.
Unbelievable!! My mom and step-dad lived in Black Mountain for 10 years. I visited there quite often. Beautiful area. I hope everyone is safe! Sending prayers.
Brutally heartbreaking. Give them strength to get through this.🙏🏾🙏🏾
This is NOT Black Mountain. This is SWANNANOA at exit 59 of I40, 5 mile before Black Mountain at I40 exit 64
Most of this is also the same clips from before replayed
Biltmore village is at the beginning. I left Black Mountain a week ago and I want to come home to my beloved mountains. I have not been able to reach my friends in Swannanoa.
@@JudyGoodwin-l9b
I moved out of black mountain 6 months ago and I was going to move back in June to my former apartment and decided not to move back at that time. I cannot reach friends or anyone in Blk mtn or Swannanoa. My heart goes out to all those affected by this disaster.
It just doesn't look good 😞
Worse than I thought!
I'm in Southwest Virginia and enjoyed a nice family reunion today but could not stop thinking about all the people impacted buy this horrible event. Not one person even mentioned it. I really don't get people. You're all on my heart and mind. If there's any way to help that's on the up & up please share it. God bless
Yes. Samaritans purse is going to help. You can sign up to volunteer on their website.
Or donate
Many people do not pay any attention to news of any kind. As I stress over news I wonder if thry are smarter than I am. This devastation is heartbreaking and will take a long time for the area and people to recover. Some never will. 😢
@@kelseyfrasier yes that should have came to my mind immediately. Used to support them quite a bit when I was doing much better financially. Thank you
Thanks for your kind words, I'm in Asheville and we won't get power until Friday and not sure when we will have water. We filled up containers beforehand so we will be ok. Alot of people are having a tough time
BEAUTIFUL ASHVILLE NC I GREW UP THERE PRAYERS FOR ALL PEOPLE AND ANIMALS GREAT AND SMALL 🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻
May God help beautiful Asheville and everyone effected by this disaster 🙏
I'm in Raleigh and so sad about our mountain area. Sending prayers to the people there.
Feeling sad for my home state of North Carolina and the wonderful people who are still stranded. No power. No phone communication. No way to let anyone know that they are running out of food and water. 😢
You should not run out of food in just a couple of days. If they are without power food spoilage will be a problem. However, water could ne a huge problem and baby formula. Sigh. 😢v
Horrifying. 💔
Prayers and good vibes to my hometown
Horrific and so tragic my heart goes out to those who have lost 😞
I had just visited Black Mountain in July. A place very dear to my heart, having my father bring us on vacation years ago, then taking our children. July 3 rd was the anniversary of my father’s death. We went to Black Mountain to commemorate the last place I vacationed with him. My father’s birth mother whom I had only met once was also buried in Mountainview memorial park… I can only assume it is lost… my deepest thoughts and prayers for all effected by this tragic event in so many beloved Southern States. My heart just aches, I know yours does too🙏🏼
Praying. Special prayers for Crossnore and Crossnore School. God hear our prayers. Amen.
sending thoughts & prayers cause when has that ever failed
Terrible.
Pretty amazing devastation. This was a century storm and much of the damage it caused is nowhere near the coast. One thing is for sure; the impact is vast and touches those who understand climate and those who are "climate deniers" equally. Property insurance will go up and as insurers start to spread the risk to non coastal insurees; they stand to see huge increases in their rates.
Enough with the BS !
GEOENGINEERING AND WEATHER MODIFICATION REFERS TO LONG-TERM SHIFTS IN TEMPERATURES AND WEATHER PATTERNS. GOVERNMENT IS RESPONSIBLE!

It's a land grab for resources. Lithium
And this is way up inland from ocean
Yep, scary isn't it? I'm in Asheville. It stalled out here and dumped so much water. We moved from the coast because of hurricanes
@@natureyogi2607 you may have to move to WV now
Thanks for the drone footage.
Just left Asheville, so sad... praying for all
Down by the river flooded - where there is lower land
downtown is dry
Looks like someone on top of a building in the last minute of video.
We measured 22” of rain here in Etowah (just south of Asheville) in just 24 hours. A real soaker.
22? Good Lord. The great Nashville flood of 2010 was just over 14.
Is there major damage in Etowah?
The city of Asheville has major risk from flooding. There are 5,578 properties in Asheville at risk of flooding over the next 30 years. This represents 15.8% of all properties in Asheville. Asheville flooded in 2004 and 2021 too. Maybe something should be done to mitigate flooding in Asheville. It will happen again.
The dams need to be decommissioned and we need forward thinking planners to account for this type of event becoming the new normal.
WoW 😢
We from other Countries watching beautifull landscapes in gorgeous areas in the US.Now we this devestation.Heartbreaking.Hope these people can rebuild their Towns and their lives.Take nothing for granted people😮😢
You can bet we will rebuild! Thank you for your support! 🇺🇲🗽🇺🇸
Insurance definitely ain't payin for anything. Wake up. Stop praying and start VOTING
Trump called this a 'little hurricane' and went back to bitching about the usual crap. Senator Blackburn of TN was up in Michigan with him campaigning while her state was flooding. Meanwhile, President Biden was signing the federal relief paperwork and got FEMA in action right away. There are 10 states with millions without power and 100s of thousands of houses will need rebuilding. Has Trump offered any help, or does he just want everyone to buy one of his 100K watches?
Wonder if the local government will force people to pay to demolish their own homes after insurance bails on them. Happened in New Orleans after Katrina.
People lost everything, insurance bailed after claiming there wasn't enough money then the local authorities sent a notice saying that if you didn't fix your destroyed home that they'd demolish it for you then charge you for the cost of demolishing.
I do both.
Kamala Harris!
@@michaelopm1 Yes! M'lady Harris 2024 !
This hurts my heart so bad these poor people god bless them
Thank you Helene ! 😘
Up in the mountain right above Swannanoa and Beetree church is an old 1980's EPA Superfund site that was Chemtronics, a Haliburton chemical warfare factory from the Vietnam era. There are huge pits of liquid chemical waste up there.
🙏🙏🙏hopefully everyone will be safe
Wow water reached rooftops
Unreal devastation 😢
Hoping that #patrickconley is safe along with Ruby and her bear cubs....
Thank you for the reminder about Patrick and the bears. I left Asheville before the storm hit and needed a reminder of a good thing. I have no home to return to but I love Asheville and will return as soon as possible.
Ahkmat Sila, Thanks be to God.
my daughter is there not sure if she is ok yet
@@deborahp-q3w have you heard anything yet from her? So many are praying for you and your daughter. May she be well🙏🩷🙏🩷
So sorry!
There are many elderly. Help the elderly.
I can barely believe what I’m seeing
Stay safe
I think they called it sanitation..
Does look at all the same. Went to school at montreat several years ago. I I had someone to bring me safely..I would come. I'm s.c. constantly in my prayers. Love to all. I'm so sorry.😅
How many dams are on that river?
I wondered that too. They built a lot of them.
The ancestors showed no mercy 😮
Their grace period is over ⏳
You people are nasty.
No mercy what so ever, from sundown to flood town.
@@demeitricelestain1820 Wow all of you people are disgusting.
Insane watching from Australia where I went thru a cyclone last December & the devastation it left the amount of damage was surreal, this is very similar & heartbreaking, it’s going to take a long time to fix up there, do you guys get help from the army??
The French Broad River flows north.
How are they going to get rid of all that standing water?? Some of this is still flowing but what a horrendous mess...
In this video I can see the current of the water. Is it still rising or receding?
That's Swannanoa, not Black Mountain
WOW 👀
The town of Black Mountain intact some problems in outlying area. Swannanoa down 70 pretty much destroyed!
Thank you for the update, I moved away from black mountain 6 months ago. I cannot get through to any friends. It's good to hear that Blk mtn is ok. I am truly heartbroken for all the people who are suffering through this devastation. I loved Swanny as well. I just can't believe the hurricane went that far inland. Prayers and Blessings.......
The problem is people don't listen to weather forecasts or pay attention to weather. People are just living in their zone and are caught by surprise. Utterly unprepared.
Wow, thanks for your support
Ridiculous statement at this time under these circumstances. These people were severely failed by the news, weather reports, geologist and government officials. It's 10x worse than what they're exposing now.
You clearly aren't there. You have no idea what you're talking about. And yes, they were unprepared because this was not predicted and had never happened like this. What is predictable are dams failing. Decommission them!!! Let the water flow!
Thanks for sharing your video.
My niece has a small farm in Asheville.
Or had.
I don't know anything yet.
Hope to fund out today.
I'm so worried.
Your video must be in town right?
I've never been there.
Always wanted to visit.
I live in Hawaii and am disabled.
Otherwise I'd be on the next plane out if a hotel were available.
I doubt that.
Praying for everyone affected by this monster storm.
A 1 in a 1000 year storm.
Hope it's not the new norm.
Heartbreaking.
Hugs to everyone who needs one.
Long stretch ~~~~~ 🤗
Looks like Lake Lanier was the goal. Reaping what you have sewn. Just the beginning.
My father was from Ashville. What area exactly is this considered? Sis all from rainwater or from somewhere else?
Biltmore village in Asheville as well as Swannanoa
It rained for days before the Hurricane hit. I left Black Mountain a week ago and I have friends in Swannanoa. I will be returning home to my beloved mountains as soon as possible.
Good thing the climate is stable...
Hopefully Biltmore can reopen soon and draw vistors back to the area to spur business. This is so devastating to the area, my best wishes to the people and businesses of the area.
Asheville is more than Biltmore.
@@mtothek Yes obviously but as the main attraction in the area, having it open will help to draw visitors to other businesses, hotels, restaurants and other places around.
I think the locals/residents are going to need those hotels now.
Can you tell me if this footage contains the Western Carolina state Veterans cemetery? 🙏
Does anyone have any pictures of Montreat now
Hope they build back better and the future will be fine 😮
yes when we get Trump in office we will make it great again where is Joe where is Kamala
Seems like times up ⌛️
@@scott1637 the agenda is set it wont matter what puppets are in power
That is not Black Mountain. That is Swannanoa
So sad 😢
Help is coming.
I’m currently looking for my friend Andrew Ebner! he also lives in Black Mountain and we haven’t heard anything since the hurricane! please help with any information if you can 🙏🏾💕
My water bending is getting too good
🙏♥️🙏
Horrifying
Sad😮
I see Smoking mountain are also under water....
This is where I used to ride my bike every day !
Sad
🙏🙏🙏
Keep on reacting to storms the same way you always have & these storms will keep FUBARing you the same way they always have!
It's going to get worst
Where is the President?
Getting help for his dementia most likely.
Lmao. We The People do not have a President.
I was asking the same thing seems like every time there is a disaster he is at the beach
@@scott1637 wearing a bib and eating ice cream while his wife, who is completely unqualified sits in the Oval office???
✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽
This is why before you buy property you get a geologist to make sure it isn't in a flood plain.
Sadly, many places that weren't ever flood zones,are now becoming flood zones. Living in a mountain seems the only solution
You mean a geographer
@@pattiannepascualbut what you’re looking at is mountains

Really sorry to see this damage. I hope the government uses the money to repair the damage and help those affected, instead of giving it as billions of dollars of aid to a terrorist regime to muder civilians, women and children, and commit a gnu-side in Palestine and Lebanon.
JESUS TAKES THE WHEEL
If you wanted to make a Biblical themed movie about God's judgments against mankind in the last days, you wouldn't need special effects, just this drone video to illustrate the prophecies of Jesus when he foretold that in the last days there will be a convergence of severe consequences of plagues, famines, pestilences, wars, rumors of war, droughts in some parts of the world, earthquakes in others, escalating evil and crime and corruption and natural disasters on a scale never before seen, "....and there will be FLOODS..."
🤦🏻♂️
trump is a false prophet.
Except, these are just the precursors to any actual events as described in Revelation. Those are clearly much, much worse ! And until THOSE happen, there's no indication that any disasters are (generally) a direct act of God at all. We are to realize it's the natural course of this planet ( and universe/all of Creation) since the curse, which was a consequence of mankind's sin, yes. ( aka corruption, evil, unrighteous). So, it's all a consequence, but not yet a direct judgement of God's wrath or even a good spanking, unless God tells u so and you discern it's def. Him, not Satan accusing or your own guilt talking, or superstition. Regardless, it's a good idea to be repenting in general, from sin and self and to God, put our trust in Him, rest in Jesus, in His finished payment for all sin for all, which anyone willing to come to, surrender to Him, can have.. and walk closely w Him. Even in the time of actual judgements listed in Revelation, God's will is for ppl to repent and be ultimately saved, redeemed, and have eternal life. Def. He wants all to repent now and escape having to go thru that, so if allowing a hurricane to cause a lot of destruction wakes anyone up to their vulnerability and need of God, and helps them gain eternal life and avoid being alone, guilty, and condemned in outter darkness &/or hell for eternity... .
Anyway, for Bible reference, see what Jesus said about the ppl that the tower of Siloam fell on.
Yup
Brilliant building strategy. Let's build the town at the bottom of 3 hills and have little sewer ability due to just not building it as it is too much $. What could go wrong? This happens like 3 times a year here due to normal storms and the way the town was built.
@@ernieellan5694 state tax and their infrastructure is very weak, there are highways out there that don’t even have lights just pitch black other then your vehicle headlights
That's mankind for you.
I was wondering why Asheville floods bc I thought it’s on the mountain so water would just flow downstream. Is Asheville basically in a valley / basin which catches all the water?
@@Wasabi9111yea that sounds like pretty good assessment.
"This happens like 3 times a year" - Asheville hasn't flooded like this since 1916. The warming oceans produce conditions for more frequent and extreme weather events like massive hurricanes barreling inland and dumping record breaking amounts of water on an area not used to getting it, causing extraordinary flooding and landslides. This is all happening because of carbon pollution from fossil fuels and other carbon emitting sources. It will keep happening, and more frequently, and there is barely much we can do at this point accept slow the rate of these things by moving away from fossil fuels.
