Lacie here! Western North Carolina holds a special place in my heart, and I’m eager to give back to the community where I’ve made so many wonderful memories.

The farmers are one of our backbones of this country
Nobody expects their house to float away. It doesn’t matter how prepared you are.
They opened three dams that's why y'all were so flooded
@@AnnaBaldwin-k5y Flooding would've happened anyway. Dams have a finite capacity and do not prevent an unprecedented amount of precipitation, which is what caused the flooding. With as much water flowing over the tops of the dams, they were clearly operating far beyond their designed capacity. In this scenario, opening a dam helps relieve stresses on the dam itself, reducing the likelihood of the dam failing completely.
If they open the dams like you said that what they were supposed to do. If not the dams break with all the pressure. I don't think that who ever did it was to cause so much damage they did it to prevent a bigger damage. If that is what happens. So sorry for so many losses, let's pray for the victims and family. Keep on the good work.
I moved to MN for 2% unemployment, and anticipated global warming. Would never consider living in Appalachia.
you can stockpile food for months but if it just floats away....
Those farmers need that money to be able to replant for the next growing season so the food chain is not interrupted!
Bravo 👏🏻
Telling North Carolina to get ready for a hurricane is like telling Florida to get ready for a blizzard
Exactly!!!!
I can tell you that ppl( In Palm Beach FL here) outside of the projected cone are preparing for hurricane Milton cuz The People DONT TRUST what may be going on. What happened in NC and TN just isn't a predictable outcome. COMMMUNITY is where it's at!! This is sooo difficult when u can't trust those around you!
Sorry, but it could happen. No one is immune to disasters. Our climate is changing, and we need to really keep an eye and ear open, because those 100 year, once in a lifetime things do happen.
Two years ago, hurricane Hilary roared through CALIFORNIA! We don't get hurricanes! We get earthquakes.
My area, in the desert is low lying, and my immediate area is on a 100 year flood plane. If I you've ever seen a flash flood start, it is dramatic. Hurricane Hilary dumped so much water on us, that our streets became torrents, raging rivers. It shut down the 10 freeway! I've lived here 45 years and I've NEVER seen our freeway close. People where stranded out there, in their cars. We had homes below us that were compleatly surrounded by flood waters, as the rain came down from the higher grounds, wiping out a good half of my senior community alone. In other areas people's homes were chest high inside, filled with thick mud. It took them months to get cleaned up, and longer to be rebuilt.
We are resilient beings, and we will emerge like the legendary Phoenix, arise from the ashes. We know we can do it.
So guys and gals, it's going to take lots and lots of time to completely rebuild, but you know we, you, can fo it.
@@karenshepherd2412 The truth about the climate changing isn't being discussed or debated in the main stream media. Weather warfare is real and there's patents on it. Microwave lasers are also acknowledged by the military.
Look at
Parsdise City, CA fires 2018;
Lahaina in Maui, Hawaii fires ( metal in car liquefied while nearby trees stood standing);
East Palestine Ohio;
and now this Hurricane Helene.
Too many people steer away from "conspiracy theories," We need to wake up to the fact that our government is an enemy of we the people. They are trying to kill us. And it's not a secret. Check out Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations. They want us to "own nothing and be happy."
Well said!
I can't believe how fast this happened . I am 80 , and I have never seen such a nightmare . Prayers for you all.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
My son lives near Charlotte but felt God put it on his heart to go help this past Friday Saturday and Sunday, he went to Ashville and other areas he said it was devastating death everywhere and so much worse then media stated.
The media has not done "Justice" viewing the truth of lost lives, the devastation of people's lives and livelihood.
I mean this is castarophic
Just a thought? This weather is taking places off the map. I am so Glad this site pull together, cause the Public doesnt know. We , the People, We are Strong, strength and numbers. Help each other. KEEP YOUR FAITH and just thinknabout for a moment , were the Powers to Be , part of it, the government?
Yes, us residents are aware the numbers are over 1,000, and could possibly be as high as 3,000. There were a lot of housing deficient people in part of the region hit, lot of missing. The smaller communities hospitals, some are being used to store the "gone."
The main media is reporting only what the current Admin wants people to know. Not the news!
Emergency Rescue Agencies train for months how to organize, etc....what your communities has accomplished in less than two weeks is next level. Sending strength to all for the coming months🙏⚓️
Aerial recovery - the Shawn Ryan Show is one to look into . Two veterans have a lot of information to share.
God is gonna pour out blessings on those farmers who are giving their food to others in need.
I so agree that the media is downplaying it all.
The media is having issues getting in there... it's still in rescue response... and now they have to focus on Trump's lies about the situation and FEMA... it's all just so messed up now 😢
Downplaying!
--They've been trying to pretend it was nothing & they had everything totally under control; for at least 5 DAYS, till the YT reports began trickling out & OUR GOV. even TRIED to STOP those signals to PREVENT there release, who long did they think they could hide it?!
--We knew they'd been using FEMA resources(didn't think they'd drained it entirely)along with various others while attempting to "DOWNPLAY" the severity of the Migrant/Border Crisis, BUT dang! It's still been a massive crisis that's taken a toll on the majority of US citizens.
--They seem to just be playing it day to day, with no foresight, it's bonkers.
If you have any sawmills in the area, Recycling the fallen trees to use for rebuilding is a good idea.
Awesome idea
It could help with the rebuilding homes and businesses.
Taking money helping the family pay bills.
Can’t build homes with “green” lumber. It must be dried before usage.
@mamabird2434 Can the green wood be used for roads and bridges?
Thank you for bringing the truth of what happened in western NC! I would rather be in a disaster with ya'll than in a city full of executives and "experts."
Me too❤
Me three. Experts and executives will get you in deep. Forget them, give me those that work hard, love their country and are close to God. Bless you NC we are with you.
I hope everyone realizes that is watching this that there are other towns that still need food water Tents and warm clothing. She is speaking to her specific area.
Yes you are absolutely right. There are so many little towns that have been devastated, and some little towns that do not exist anymore. 🙏
The sheer size of the destruction is hard for anyone not living here to understand.
@@jr-xs9tf
I can't even imagine!
But I didn't want people to stop sending some things she said they didn't need because other towns do still need those. I am so sorry this happened to yall.
I hope everyone continues to send things they can and the ones helping stay around for a long time. I follow other people that live in the path of destruction and a lot of them are saying there are people in the mountains that still need help. It's just all so sad.
It can be HELPFUL for us ALL to keep a LOOKOUT for ANY information you find on local SMALLER organizations & CHURCHES taking 2ND HAND ITEMS! --Most ppl have extra clothes, coats, sleeping bags, blankets, towels, boots, backpacks, hats, toys, gloves for kids, working/gardening tools & gloves, pots & pans, & everyday essentials. BUT some are HARDER to find & knowing when they're accepting dropoffs, so post & share them with all groups!
--The larger donation ctrs do NOT have time to manage USED ITEMS(unless they've requested), BUT those items DO help IMPACT plenty of families❤! --No point sending them somewhere they'll sit around, till THROWN OUT.
--Mostly the smaller Community ctr, Charities, Church groups can & will sift through, sort out, re-wash, dry, fold, & transport to distribute gently USED ITEMS! While the other facilities are trying to keep goods flowing & stock warehouses.
@@susanbarnes932 Exactly, it's important to chk with the places ahead & see which donation centers are requesting what items, bcuz they've got preset destinations, routes & just trying to make the MOST of all efforts!
--Some ppl are eager to help, pack up an abundance of generous items. --Then become discouraged as if they're efforts are unwanted, BUT we've all got different roles to play & they're all essential.
I love Ken's t-shirt, "Moses mother did not comply", isn't that the truth!
God bless you all. May the Lord bring restoration and healing and recovery to the whole area!
Thank goodness for farmers!!! And the big corporate people wanna get rid of farmers. Shame on them!!!
Prayers for all of you and those that lost everything and those that lost their lives. 🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏
No one expects this is the mountains! ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
This is so true!
You did right staying put
Thank the Lord you all are here
The land developers will be trying to take advantage of these land owners now or mining companies trying to snag the land for the abundance of natural minerals.
Being a North Carolinian, that's not exactly true. They have been thru flooding and devastation before, just not on size and scale of now. Actually, 2 yrs ago Tropical Storm Ian landed on them.😢
One thing from OH…I’m well aware that Asheville isn’t the big picture. Most of us don’t know the names of the hollers and communities…I was immediately concerned about those trapped in the mountains.
Same from CA, the folks in the hollers was the 1st thought.
America is taking care of their own and themselves god bless you all!
very poorly given the devastation more interest in super bowl or grammies.
God BLESS You all your help. I pray to God that this the Truth and Light will shine through this darkness.
@@keithprinn720 Well, there's definitely A LOT of work to be done & a ton of ppl in desperate need. BUT I think many ppl have been/are still coming together in a haste to rally supplies, trucks, & volunteers; they're out there doing a lot of good for ppl.
--Especially, considering how much time, MONEY, manpower & resources OUR GOV has been wasting trying to UNDERSTATE the severity of their hardships & keep us all in the dark about THEIR LACK of ASSISTANCE.
--No one can be this incompetent. These ppl have been destroying our entire Country with malice & forethought?! It's unbelievable, since they're the ones who've spent their lives benefiting from it the most.
Thank you Billy for telling it like it is👍 Trust me when I say that there are people out here who need to hear the raw truth because the MSM is spinning a web of lies. And I like the way Billy told the truth without using filthy language. Never be afraid to tell the truth. God bless each of you and y'all are in our prayers.
Prayers to the families who have lost everything including family and friends. I live in Wisconsin and the media has down played it so much. We know it’s been allot worse and I am so very sorry. The only way we’ve learned how bad it really was is through Utube. We will be continuing to keep you all in prayer.
I mentioned something at my job about helping and they looked at me cross eyed, I’m in Wisconsin
I am surprised that the best information of who needs help and who has help to give is on TH-cam.
Praying for everyone I still have not heard from my family in North Carolina yet please stay safe Americans God bless
Prayers ❤
🙏🙏🙏
Where are they located? You don't have to give an exact location...just general. I live in WNC and I might be able to at least tell you who you can contact to ask someone about locating missing persons or let you know if they're in an area that hasn't recieved starlink or anything yet. I really hope they're safe and pray for your comfort and they're safety and wellbeing at this time.
@@mysticmama_3692bless you ❤️🙏,🇺🇸
❤️🙏🇺🇸
My husband has been pushing me to get into ham radio. After watching you guys, I’m gonna do it. God bless each and everyone of you.
👍❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for everyone affected by these storms and all people helping them
The lack of compassion is ridiculous. NC residents need our help and rebuilding. This event will change the region forever
Bravo farmers🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Feeding people and funding the community is a win win situation
Oh my goodness.....the babies/ toddlers walking around with no parents to be found is literally ripping my heart out 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I cannot even imagine what you are all seeing and going through 💔💔💔
Thank you for explaining the horrors of Helena. Now we can understand why FEMA and other agencies haven't shown up or have dropped the ball. We all know survival starts with ME, and then the circle of help expands to those around. Misinformation is heartbreaking and deadly.
Thank you... exactly...I heard a gentleman on the news last night almost crying because his father in law only believes in trump and is refusing any assistance from the government for fear of losing his land...
It's a lot worst than that with FEMA, which is why DeSantis told FL, FEMA would not run the show & he had the military & national guard there. Part of their job was to help keep FEMA under control
@@patriciadean5452 what are you talking about?? Desantis was on the news praising FEMA and Biden for their quick response and how he called up the national guard to help them... so please take a social media break... your getting the wrong message
@@lisagibson3481 What a governor does and what a governor tells the news media can be different things...Gov DeSantis super prepared and did emphasize that FL gov was in control BUT he appreciated all the outside help. Two things can be true.
Thank you.I wish we had money we could share. My prayers are with everyone dealing with these storms.
With water coming down the mountain so quickly and water rising in the creeks so fast, and the wind whipping around, there wasn't much people could have done.
I've lived in Hot Springs 25 years. Some roads, downtown, will flood. We KNOW this. Some people should have been prepared to leave. Unfortunately, the unprecedented volume of water that rained has nowhere to go but down the mountain. I am glad you brought up the topic of responsible development. Many trailer parks, older homes were built near flood plains, and nobody did anything to create change over the years. Well wishes to everyone.
“Gov bureaucrats trying to shut them down” thank you for the truth.
Thank You. This is one of the most informative interviews I have watched since becoming interested in the North Carolina disaster.
From Texas, this has been the most helpful information I’ve gotten yet. God bless you guys!
Wonderful to hear the light is flowing thru the darkness . God Bless you all richly with strength & direction thru this challenge
As far as communications that's why we rely on podcasts like y'all
Thank you everyone of you for taking this time to share boots on the ground information to us
Y'all need an Angel Tree! You know like the kind you see in Walmart. Not just for Children, but an adult's name with their need...like an Elctric bill, a tank of gas, ect. And these trees need to go in different places, and continue as the building back to normal continue's. Loved this Video
Yes yes yes
Great idea!!!
Y’all need to be aware of the natural dangers where you live and have an EPP. Emergency preparedness plan.
@@orderupgraphix6044 what's natural about a hurricane in the mountains!!!!🤯
Prayers for all the people in need....in this destruction. . .
I'm from s.w. va my county has the New River and the damage no one seen it getting that bad the rain fell so quick there was no time for evacuations until the last minute in our county alone 48 residents lost their homes along the river, we were out of power almost a week were pretty tough folk and deal with storms we've seen thunderstorms worse but ye flooding ofbthe river which comes from North Carolina was just awful been since 1944 literally 100 years flood around here community is important and it's shown community is key in situations like this so many heartfelt stories
And not to mention our area was in drought I believe worse than what I seen on t.v. our creeks were sooo low last thing anyone expected was 100 year flood
With a little bit of help, perhaps?
Our hearts go out for you all. Crying and praying for you daily asking God to wrap His loving arms around you. We plan to keep supporting you as long as needed. We're doing what we can ❤🙏
Alyson made such a great point with people holding off for now on sending supplies. Especially considering that the current supplies aren't being distributed. This situation isn't going away in a few weeks or months. It's going to require long term solutions. I will continue praying and keeping an eye out for what the needs are.
People need to eat every day. People need to drink water every day. Don't stop ANYTHING!!!
@@igitahimsa5871 The point Alyson made is that the supplies already there aren't being distributed fast enough because there is an overabundance there. They are just sitting there succumbing to the elements. Maybe you need to relisten to what she said before scolding me.
@@carlapierle8623- what they need to do is reach out to more communities that even smaller ones and start getting people to come and get those resources even if it means using mules.
@@igitahimsa5871It depends on the area, as the Cajun Navy 2016 was smart moving donation warehouses outside disaster areas with constantly updated Amazon donation lists!!
You guys are doing a really great job telling your stories to the world, because this is such a tragic and enormous disaster that it's good for the nation to understand the situation people in your region are in. I am praying for you all and supporting several endeavors to bring help to the area. Also a good friend lives right there.
Prayers to all in all affected areas of the hurricanes! God's Blessings to all of the "Angels" who are performing life-saving work and comfort!
We are thinking of you all, here in Australia. Such a terrible tragedy. ❤
Thank you!!!
My thoughts and prayers go out too all of you stay strong and believe in the Lord ❤
Praying for everyone...i wish i could do more, but hopefully in future. 🙏😥 im in upper midwest and we had crazy wind Saturday. Many fires and loss of life, human and animals.
🙏❤️🇺🇸
Where! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
First let me say so sorry for what you ate going through. You ALL have BEEN IN MY PRAYERS. GOD GIVE YOU THE HEALTH & STRENGTH TO GO FORWARD. "FALLING DOWN IS PART OF LIFE, GETTING BACK UP IS LIVING". THE NATURAL DISASTER IS NOTHING YOU COULD PREVENT NOR PREPARE FOR. "PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP". 🙏🫶🙏❤️🤗 Sending you all HUGS.
Such great information!! Alyson, wonderful thinking and problem solving skills! 🙏💜
Alyson, thank you for being succinct with what the needs are, and also being positive . To the hosts, I am so thankful for you steering the conversation away from a political rant. We DO have a great community that needs to pull together. Excellent point about needs changing as this process evolves.
I am so sorry about all the Devastation and are praying for you all.
I am in Florida and we were without Power for 2 days and I am disabled and can’t Walk and I depend on my medical Equipment to survive, my Lift Chair, Oxygen, CPAP Machine, Electric Scooter, Nebulizer for my Breathing Treatments as we got Hurricane Helene, and Thank my Lord and Saviour for Getting me Through. My heart is grieving for all the People in these areas and the loss of Life and Thank God that People are working together and helping there neighbor and Churches are coming together. The only Hope for America is Jesus Christ. I was Saved at 23 years and have been a Believer for 40 years. Put your Faith and Trust in him.
Enjoyed your Channel Brother in Christ, God Bless!❤
You know, this is how I get my information on whats REALLY going on in our country! I will not rely on the news any longer! It is very cool that us American citizens are now making videos and learning on our own the truth! As far as I'm concerned when i need to know whats REALLY happening I will watch videos with real people on TH-cam! Thank you! ❤👍
May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals and the homestead
Thank you all and praying for everyone!
God had his arms wrapped around you all God bless you all and All affected by this tragedy
Thank you for this Truth.
Everyone needs to go back to home CB radios that we had in the 1970’s 1960’s and older for communications.
Prayers from Arizona 🙏🏻
Hurricane should Not of hit in that mountain area!
Thank to all of you for sharing! No worries God has got this! Continued prayer ❤🙏🙌🇺🇸💪
Alyson Wade, hands down best explanation I’ve heard of why this all happened in this region, the topography and water sheds mismanaged soil and resources
The national news needs to put this out so the world can understand
Blessings to all for doing this ❤
Prayers for your recovery efforts
Thank you to all of the homesteading community and other you tube channels for sharing your stories and the truth. God bless you all!
Thank you all for your determination and inspiration . I can see you are God’s people.
I am learning a lot from y’all . We never know when we may be in your boots.
Sending lots of love.
thank you it's one thing not to see what's really going on in legacy media, another to read the macro-craziness exposed on X, and quite another to see how it's affecting actual people.
God bless you all true patriots 🇺🇸🙏
Praying for everyone dealing with this devastation. 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜
This right here is community.
Thank god for your community stay strong continue to help each other and know that God is working with you❤
Prayers for all affected. Thank you for sharing the truth and true American heroes
Praying for you all!!!!
🙏🇺🇸🙏💔🤍💙
Prayers to all ❤
We're praying and helping from california. Thanks for sharing the hard won lessons you learned.
Thank you Fit Farmer and Lacie for what you do. I watch everything you have to say. Love family!
Thank you all for sharing your hearts! And your experiences with all of us! And needs of your communities!
I'm praying a lot for all yall which is extremely serious but I so appreciate Billy's comic relief. 😂😅❤
I'm a new SUB. LOVE CHANNEL!!! Just a huge Thank You for NOT deleting Billy's honest comment about the "bridge" MANY of us have seen the evil, but the good is OVERWHELMING. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
The truest form of farm to table LOVE
Mike and Lacey thank you so very much for this video❤
Thank you to those farms
Thank you to each of you❤❤❤❤
Thank you all for sharing!
Thank God for hero's like you !!!❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
So well done Allyson on your clever idea and all the people that are helping. Kudos to you all 😊
We are not able to be in NC to help, but our Father is always there and we will keep y'all in our prayers.
❤this is wonderful. God bless you
Thank goodness for the people that work with each others lives matter ❤
Alice your heart is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your videos experience to help h the farmers.
I am so sorry for what has happened to you all- I live in Ohio and have been watching all the devastation here, on you tube- real folks telling their stories. Main stream media is not reporting the truth or anything at all. Also there are those on FB that are putting info out how Fema is helping everyone as well as the government and we shouldn’t listen to the disinformation. I never believe that nonsense- I believe the actual citizens that are experiencing the actual trauma. My heart goes out to you all. It is good to see citizens helping each other.
WE BEEN LISTENING TO LOCALS ABOUT FEMA!!
Praying for you all
I have not heard about landslides except for major highways. We live in the watershed of the mountains of Puerto Rico. Our mountains are steeper than the Appalachian mountains and water runoff is fast and furious. We have constant small landslides. We can get 24" of rain in an afternoon in the rainy season. I am learning so much of land management, water drainage, etc. from a microcosmic version of WNC. The winds of Hurricane Maria was so strong that all the trees leaves turned brown from wind burn. Within two years we got new growth
God bless youll my prayers are with youll
Wishing you all the very best in rebuilding your community . I am watching from england and it's awesome how your communities are all helping eachother. Can't believe there's not more financial help coming to you from the top.
Thank you for this video! I was struck by how it must have been to be cut off and not know how widespread & how severe the damage & loss was. It takes a tremendous amount of faith to keep hope through that.
Never thought you could have been more prepared or not smart enough to prepare. I was thinking how tragic that this was occurring and how many lives/communities were impacted. My heart is full of compassion and empathy. Having no communication is scary and reminds us how much we rely on cell service.
Thank you for putting the truth out there
Thank you for sharing these experiences. I am so amazed how these citizens have worked together to help and still are working and helping.
Yay, was the 1,000 thumbs up. Thank you guys for your genuine information and first hand knowledge. God bless everyone!❤️❤️❤️🙏
My client today said there grandson is with power company up here gone down there and has seen cadavores mature and infant some in trees and some floating on water ways Lord protect these people in Jesus name
Thank you all for sharing. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours. 🙏🏻
God bless you all and comfort you prayers for you all
