It was unfortunate that we had a nontropical weather front cause 2-3 days of rain before Helene arrived. There is just nowhere for the water to go 😢 I am fortunate to be between Knoxville and Chattanooga where we had a lot of rain some wind but no significant damage.
The sad part of this whole episode is that hindsight is clearer than foresight. Come on folks everything is so expensive, especially when devastation occurs.
Nope, but clearly the question will be how long the bank/bedrock on the far end will last. I agree it's VERY aggravating that the news on this is so back n forth. Prayers for everyone in those affected areas.
Very annoying they said the damns failed and Douglas reservoir was gonna be flooded up to the road on 25 that was 12 hours ago, the water has only risen 10 feet. It was down about 20 ft. They should say damn failure is possible not that it's happening
He’s never seen anything like this in his whole life. He looked to be about 50 so that’s not surprising. People tend to forget the earth is billions of years old.
There is no need to upgrade anything just because of some Demotard hoax. That water is a bunch of special effects, and the "first responders" are just crisis actors. Ain't that right, Republicans?
O no, he is correct. Earth never had severe storms before. I was told all throughout school that earth would be covered in ice and we would all be living underground by now.
@@ericmarie2089 Yeah this has never happened before. It never used to rain and the wind never got above a gentle breeze. And some fools believe any horse shit they are told. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Monroe County is a great location. Close to Knoxville and Chattanooga and close to the mountains and a dozen lakes. Land is reasonable and the taxes aren't crazy.
Where is our senator at on yeah away Get these rich people out while people need help they run and stock up and then buy shares for a final f u People have the power get ur balls back come on our ancestors did less over sugar and here we are 20 percent taxed and more come on yall

As of 10am the Greenville dam has not failed, but is overflowing.
it has failed to hold water cause its over flowing which potentially can wipe the damn. something like that happened in mn recently
@@jim_secristOverflowing the dam is better than a breached dam, because it means only the excess is being released.
Most large damns have some sort of spillway intended to compensate for typical weather situations. This is not normal in any way.

That dam did not fail, it is still there, just under water but still intact. Why are people over playing this? That is not a failure of the dam.

Can't tell even where the river is supposed to be. wow
Yes, flood water danger. during flooding. Thank God they spoke up.
Word has it earlier that it didn't break, so hopefully a lot of water has slowed a bit
