Hey Dean - Vicco has a very interesting past ... It used to be the KENTUCKY VEGAS ... I'll bet your Grandfather could have told us a lot ! Vicco seems to be spared the worst - but gosh - - Lost Creek - I can't imagine ... :(
I live in Winchester Kentucky now but was raised on hardshell caney road that's where my family lived at they were one of the lucky ones that had flood insurance but they are still trying to get everything sorted out being moved from shelter to shelter
I like Winchester - especially Rural King LOL! ... Glad they had flood insurance - hope it is enough ... but the time in between is going to be difficult. Take care Jok.
Wow☹️ What a mess. Most people can’t afford flood insurance in these parts. If you could, you wouldn’t be living in a trailer or a shack clinging to a nob.
Good morning Marie, add to that - that MANY of these folks - built or lived outside of the 1A Zone. Their losses likely will not be covered. I'm thinking 100's of millions in damage overall (only 1000 thousand in a million) ... And you're right - I started to mention in a video - these people - (Do you remember "A Dollar and a Deed" ?) built or moved a trailer on the only available level spot that grandpa or dad let them have. But - I'm afraid a lot of people would misunderstand my comment. The Coal companies have left, great paying jobs are scarce, flat land is scarce. Just so many factors to consider. There is no easy solution.
I lived in Tennessee for near 28 years. Most people think that Tennessee and Kentucky do not get hot and humid or cold as heck. Surprise Surprise! Knoxville is like a big bowl that all of the humidity and storms settle in there. I have seen so many floods and bad wind storms with tons of hail, lightning and wind. Every year the spring storms would bring flooding, down trees, and much damage to my property! I remember before we moved to South Florida, we had two weeks of solid rain!
This "weather event" as they are calling it ... doesn't appear to be new ... 50 and 80 years ago ... similar events. But less recording, fewer people, no government agencies etc. Disasters, will always be with us. I remember 76 I think - floods, snow, 21 days of barely above 0 etc. We were snowed in for 3 weeks I think.... had people with 4 wheel drives bring us stuff. Enjoy south Florida, I like Homestead, and Robert is Here ... if you know about that! LOL!
Lots of people "feel" bad and say there praying and that's all good but I'm waiting to see if there is any real real compassion for these folks that lost everything from a 1 in a thousand year flood. Piece.....
@@richsclageter521 I hear you. I am wondering if there will be some sort of help (and I don't mean a loan) to get homes for these people. That's what they need! A good many are not in a position to build or buy a new home again. It took them many years of hard labor to get what they lost in a frightening minute! If there was some sort of fund raiser for that purpose, I would contribute to it. I don't have much more than those folks, but I think I could come up with a little to add to the pot.
@@EarlAndJill Not as much as they do other disasters. Where I used to live there were floods in certain areas. There was even a bad flood one year that didn't usually flood. But even that flood was nowhere near as bad as this one!
@@HoneyHollowHomestead HHH carefull your compassion is showing. Unfortunately after reading and watching about the survivors of Katrina, ect, ect, most of these people are going to be living in moldy crap holes and doing there best to stay above ground. Very sad. There for the grace of God goes I
My great grand parents were from Vicco and my other grandma and aunts and uncles lived near Carr Fork Reservoir. I spent a lot of time there. This is heartbreaking.
Hey Marla - my grandparents ran an old country store - that had the old water bath coca cola cooler. She would fix bologna sandwiches for the miners and truck drivers. They would run by on the dirt road - churning up dust on a hot summer day. Vicco and the road to Wiscoal remind me of that time. :) Those were happy days. I hope all of your family is safe.
Consider snowflakes - by themselves, individually, beautiful, and unable to withstand warmth, but amassed together can result in an avalanche of utter destruction.
Even cleaning and removing flood debris is hazardous. Aside from physical hazards floods also disperse a lot of bacteria everywhere. It is literally nature's way of flushing the toilet. So things like dead animals, open sewage, you name it, is present after the flood recedes.
I have lived by the susquehanna river in pennsylvania for many years. Many floods also big coal area. I study glaciers. Please, water ways will get larger and are all around the world. They must move higher. Our home was on a rock cliff. Eleven families.
Even geo engineering and disaster capitalism can't bring our APPALACHIAN brothers and sister to their knees... THANK GOD... thank you for this... gov has been hitting our farms, our preppers and our heartlands... be strong, be brave and GOD BLESS... Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I'm southeast Kentucky in Bell County. Bell and Harlan County had our biggest flood in 1977. We've had floods before and since. We've been lucky to not lose lives. I'm tired of people making comments about this areas people. I'm 70 years old. I think most people away from here don't realize how much rain we get. Trouble is it usually comes down all at once. It's always rained here since the White people came here back in the 1700"s
Hey Maxine, Cumberland river, and Yellow creek - flood frequently. When I was a kid I watched Lake Mistake grow up into a golf course. LOL! ... There have been MANY floods along the cumberland river since early history in the area. Kinda neat knowing M'Boro is actually an old meteor crater ! Awesome. Take care.
People buy what they can only afford. Sadly the satellite maps and google earth expose the true nature and geography of the water shed. I lived near Falmouth during the 97 flood. I feel what these folks are going through. Donations and a helping hand is all a person can do.
God have mercy on our nation. God bless you. You have much to do. How horrible a flood or tornado or huricane or a fire. God Bless our Government and our nation, the United States of America, long may she stand.
Those scenes are sadly familiar to me here in Australia where Lismore, a coastal town of NSW, has been almost completely destroyed in record breaking floods. 😳
I've driven tow truck befor and I've never seen any tow truck driver pull a vehicle through trees and across a creek. The correct way is to pull it back up the hill over the guard rail.
I think all of you should build on concrete floats like a house on the water. Anchor the house securely. When the floods come the house or building floats upward but not with the flood waters. It would save everyone money.
Lynn, good afternoon. I haven't been back up Rowdy in a couple of days. Thinking about going back and checking with people, just don't wanna get in the way - or be seen as intruding. These people have a heck of a lot on their plate right now. Do you know anyone there to check with?
If you're close - you can deliver food - water - to those without transport now. If I were to advise anyone on donations - I prefer the TEAM KENTUCKY - it is transparent - you can see what goes where. secure.kentucky.gov/FormServices/Finance/EKYFloodRelief
We need to understand that being at the top of the pyramid of creation means that everything we do trickles down the structure, from top to bottom. When it reaches the bottom, the inanimate level of reality, from which everything grows, it changes it. If we ooze ill-will, it creates negative changes throughout the system, which manifest in increasingly extreme climatic and geological events. In other words, when human relationships go out of balance, everything goes out of balance. When our relations become extreme, everything becomes extreme; when we become violent, everything becomes violent. Each summer, the ramifications of the linkage between our relations and our world become more extreme, until we acknowledge that everything that exists, exists in a connected, hierarchical system and that whoever is at the top determines the state of the rest of the system. It is not as if previously, we were better people than we are today. It is simply that there were fewer people, and therefore fewer elements that exude ill will. Also, relationships between people in the past were less toxic than they are today. While there are fewer wars today than ever, the levels of suspicion and alienation between people are skyrocketing, to the point where people can no longer trust their own family members. As a result, wars between countries are rarer than ever, but divorce rates, domestic violence, and violence in the community, are at an all-time high. Even the internet, which we invented purportedly in order to connect people, is being used to abuse, deceive, and exploit people. The world-wide-web proves that everything we create, we use against others. When there is such a negative element in a system, and that element is at the top of the system, how can the entire system not go awry? Therefore, if we want the weather to cool, the sea-level to drop, and the storms to subside, we must cool the fire and calm the storms between us. Mutual concern, mutual responsibility, or at least the knowledge that we are dependent on each other, are necessary in order to restore balance in our world at all levels, from the ground we walk on to the hatred in our hearts.
"We Are Stronger" A Poem by Steven F Gooden We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden
And this is why we have to get our heads out of our hindsides about climate change. This will happen again and it could well beyond what this event did. If we build back that needs to be kept in mind. And we need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground. I know this more than hard for the people of eastern Kentucky but its the only way forward that may not lead to worse than this. May good fortune shine upon Eastern Kentucky and may its people find a way forward.
I think you should not have brought anything about the coal industry up about making a mess to clean up about a flood they weren't the cause of it every time something happens around here the coal company gets blamed for some reason
