We not only have a stunningly beautiful state but some of the best human beings you will find anywhere. Mountain folk and most native North Carolinians have always been the salt of the earth. From generations back they have worked the earth with their bare hands, made their own furniture, built their own cabins and homes and worked the land sometimes burying their children along the way. They are kind, generous and loving and will literally feed a stranger and give them the shirts off their back. They are raised on Christian morals and values. They are devoted to one another. When they’re knocked down, they get back up. In the darkest of hours they will find the light. I come from several generations back to the early 1700’s of these wonderful people. What has been done to them is heartbreaking and unforgivable. ❤️🙏😔
The grim new reality is that this area has been rendered one big quarry for those nefarious agencies and corporations who need those natural resources $$. To them, Humans are only obstacles.
13.5 inches per hour water level rise at NFR on 26/27the sept! From the scant information shared during the County Briefing on the 25th Oct and height of the Fusegate bucket that activated at North Fork Reservour on 27th I calculated the rate of rise in water level in the reservoir as 13.5 inches per hour and the reservoir is 1.3 sq Km ! Unless prepared weeks in advance no reservoir anywhere would be able to accomodate such a deluge. So the level rose from full pool to the top of the bucket, 16 feet in 14 hours, before it activated. Why did'nt all 6 activate in series to prevented the flash flood that resulted from the 6 million Cu M (4.8 M x 1.3 sq Km) release from one bucket. So much for 'functioned as designed'. The level of destruction to NF creek and Beacon Village can only be explained by a flash flood event. Fluvial flow or rivers bursting their banks, which is what we are being expected to believe, can not generate the necessary velocity to explain the level of destruction. Of course the extreme high rainfall also triggered landslides on steep slopes all across the County but lets there was also an artificial component.

Thanks for doing what you did to help these people. Great footage. Wish there was more coverage on the landslides. In a recent video called When the lights went out, also said there were over 2,000 landslides. Praying for all of those affected by this tragedy 🙏
You have to open flood gates if the water leval goes Up .... A Dam busting is a Even bigger wall of water.... People need to go back to school bad in the USA. But believe it was a big conspiración 😂
I’m just a southern girl living in NC and I have never ever thought that an event could create an astronomical amount of change. I’m not sure the rest of the nation realizes that river’s are in different areas now and roads are running through the river bed that destroyed so many houses along the river and creeks ect. Unless you actually do research will you begin to understand the enormous task ahead for so many organizations. Even th😢railroad was or is still not running. How do you explain the entire railroad in the areas hit are Not running. I pray 🙏 this nightmare will be over one day. 🙏
The reconstruction will take several years. There is a real likelihood that residents will not be able to return, as the destruction is so severe. The State needs to step up and lead.
May you always be remembered with love in our hearts and a promise to look out for your survivors, who you cannot look out for yourselves anymore with physical hands and hugs❤❤❤
From stunningly beautiful to devasted, and the devastation remains courtesy of "officials" who read rules instead of providing assistance. Some even playing politics. Volunteers did the work. The government passed on the real human work.
Our BEAUTIFUL NORTH CAROLINA!!! I have been there a few times. Nieces live in Charlotte. Praying and praying. I gave what I could last month and this month and next month I will try to send more.
The government has FAILED the people of these regions. Thank goodness for the private individuals and companies that have brought heart-centered love and care to the communities.
In spite of the destruction, you can still see the beauty of the mountains. I hope everyone eventually can see that again and be joyful at living there.
That’s exactly what I thought, as the camera showed the blue sky through the trees! 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂 Such beauty-I’m so encouraged to see it still exists there, I know I would be desperate for it if I was in their shoes. We need the necessary things to keep body and soul connected-to keep us alive and breathing-but beauty is a very important need too. It’s connected to hope, and joy, and people can’t live without these things.
Driving difficulties and waiting in line to pass is minor. We get it but the devastation is the point. These are solid country folk. This was NOT A NATURAL Disaster!!! TRUTH COMING OUT SOON! THANKS FOR VOLUNTEERING KEEP DOING IT! ❤🙏🇺🇸💥
Yup, many of us know the truth. I saw how they steered the hurricane to Florida and all the way up here. Just like they do with so many other so-called natural disasters.
Some towns and counties are not allowing small homes with heat to be brought in due to lack of codes being met. I reckon a tent or unheated trailer is assumed to be just fine when temps get below freezing. Bureaucracy destroys so much.
And over breeding..and thinking that bureaucracy is perpetrated by just normal humans..its sad, people have no clue what this world is. Who is running it, and why...and for how long..the average joe has the emotional intelligence of a 10 yr old...beer and football, meat heads..so its ignorance that destroys...faliure to recover recognise wisdom and repeat the same mistakes...breeding like rabbits...
Indeed, death from hypothermia for sure isn't code either. It's utterly disgraceful that anyone would block these temporary emergency measures to assist the folks in such dire circumstances after the devastation of Helene. I mean just even for the next few months until Spring? Where are the Sheriffs who took an oath to uphold the Constitution and protect the citizens from corrupt bureaucracies? Anyone not in imminent danger/crisis should be protesting in person at the courthouses/city halls of every county affected! Praying for all these folks in need and the wonderful volunteers helping them as well as those donating supplies. We are Appalachia Strong!!!
These areas are still prone to flooding. There’s no power. There’s no infrastructure to protect these people. These ppl don’t want to leave for lack of knowledge and verification of what will happen to their land Instead of listening to some propaganda Content creator. Only 20% of all the hotels or ABNB are participating in FEMA housing providers. These ppl have the opportunity to go to 4 other countries. No one is mentioning that. I doubt their place of employment even still exists.

You need to do some independent research on Tarriffs in history. Do you realize that Tarriffs once took the place of Income Taxes.. Im not even going to bring politics into this. This is a matter of ppl just being to lazy to go and check and verify for themselves
This truly is one of the best videos out there. You showed the true humanity of how some were already living, the beautiful views, the phenomenal devestation, and how you are helping people & communities. Bless you for your hard work. ❤🙏🙏🙏
I suspect that Homes or Camp Sites will no longer be allowed on Creek Banks as the Old Sites were Grandfathered-allowed because of limited Septic Tank Space and Drainage. If I could no longer use the Property for a Home, i would no Longer Pay Taxes on said Property--Unless the Powers that BE will just allow you to camp on it for a few days at a time so that you could carry your sewage to a Fixed Dumping Station...
What if 10% went and helped these people build shelters create roads and clear debris. Imagine if 20% that would be 20 THOUSAND PEOPLE actually DOING SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP IMMEDIATELY. Instead of protesting and looking ignorant.
Both NC and Tennessee need a lot of help. It's sad that the people who should be helping won't until after January 20. There's though of people who volunteered and many people are volunteering or never quit from the beginning. Praying for all.. Everyone can donate $2 if they buy themselves a candy bar or a coffee. Thank you all who donated or helped out. I don't live there, but I wosh that I could help.. 🙏.

How can anyone sit with a trailer, they can live in and not donate it to some family ! These are everywhere! And most are not being used, because it’s winter, please rescue a family
Thank you volunteers for the work you do in North Carolina you are doing a good job you are so carng the Lord Bless each and everyone of you prayers for you
Don't tell me they are going to burn all those logs.They could easily bring in a portable mill and produce lumber to rebuild the houses.There is a lot of lumber there.
Proper stream management would be to correct the lie of the stream or river . Army core of Engineers are quite good and experienced at this work. No excuse to not do it. They have protected farmland and homes before . The Mississippi flooding is handled that way
buttttt,,, Where is the Army Corp of Engineers .... ?? .... WHERE IS ALLLLLL OF THE "GOVT / MILITARY "HELPPPP" ?? THESE FOLKS "NEED" HELPPPP .... 2 "MONTHSSSS" AGO !! "GOD BLESS OUR FELLOW "AMERICANS" anddd "ALLLL" THAT HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND DONATED !!!" 🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
My point was that to say homes can't be built in a river bed . No little houses could be set there where homes used to be. Mississippi flooding is for miles each side. They rebuild and restructure the area. Why can't it be done in NC. 300 yds on both sides of a much smaller streams and river is not right to take property away.
Yet there are people living in tents!!?? Just like Maui they come make insulting pennies on the dollar offers to buy the land. Why buy in a flood zone? Reveal, expose and restore, Father God! 🙏❤🇺🇸🙏
The property line should remain the same. What you purchase compared to what a river has destroyed should not matter that land on your deed should stay the same even if it is in a river. Just reroute the river back where it came from. Thank God for all the great volunteers and donations. Still folks living in tents with cold weather they need housed or shared living space small house something other than a frezzing tent.
The land and water ways are extremely polluted. The cars , tractors and other motorized vehicles - fuel leaks and batteries. Septic systems. Businesses and their chemicals washed into the flood waters. The trash. The dead animals. The dead people. Chemicals and fuels in barns and storage buildings that floated into the floods ….. cadaver dogs have died. It is in the dirt that is being moved and blown into the wind. Then it is breathed in by humans and animals. It is just overwhelming . Thank you for all you are doing to help.
Oh but humans so smart and so evolved...no we are a cancer a virus..and do not belong on this earth...but yet ..they just keep breeding and breeding as if they live in Paradise...
I heard from Senator Budd that the reason that they weren't allowing the small shelters is due to the area being in a flood zone. Excuse me when the last MAJOR FLOOD like this happened it was 108 years ago, July 1916 and hasn't happened since. But they've allowed continued building and growth in all our mountain areas. But now they can't bring in temporary shelter to prevent freezing to death for these poor people. I'm from the coast of NC and guess what, it's in a FLOOD ZONE and every June until the end of November, Hurricanes, tropical storms, Northeasterner's come and flood our homes down there. Everyone gets temporary shelter while REBUILDING on the coast. They might say, OK, build "UP" above a certain height or something, but they're allowed to return and rebuild. Why now? Why not use government funds to assist these poor people. They won't leave their homesites, why, they know the government wants their land, CHEAP. Getting a small buy out when the homes are high there and they're mortgages are high, they can't go somewhere else and start over, even if they wanted to and believe you me, people who've grown up in a certain area, their family all around them, their families buried there, they're churches are there, they're not going anywhere. You'll have to bomb them out of those places. Our US Government has money available in these Green New Deal and Deficit Reduction Act bills that have been passed, money allocated and should be utilized to assist these people ASAP or they'll freeze to death. Maybe thats what they want, but be assured, Americans all over the country are watching what our Government is NOT DOING to ASSIST these people and they'll show how angry they are when they go to vote the next time. There are just as many democrats as there are Republicans up in our Mountains and everybody who are leaving these terrible democratic states are moving into NC and they're watching too! Democrats want to know why they lost the vote in 2024, this is a prime example of WHY!
Flood zones and floodplain areas Do Not magically appear and subject a property to additional regulation just because a property ended up under water. County, State and Federal regulators are required to use "FIRM" maps, established by FEMA to determine where such flood areas officially exist and are subject to regulation. There are currently FIRM maps on record in these affected Counties and those maps, NOT where the most recent water flowed, are the only areas subject to flood related regulations. Of course the FIRM maps will undoubtedly get updated somewhere down the road (not anytime soon, the process is long) and the areas which recently found underwater will likely appear on the new updated maps, but until that time, these properties recently affected are not flood properties to be regulated if not on the FIRM maps.
@@chuckdykstra3020 Well I'm 70 away from Asheville and our small town looked like bombs had hit us all over the place. Asheville and other cities are WORST! This Firm Map you say Flood Zones are supposed to be, well, they must of not notified these rich, wealthy people that or someone was paid some bucks to approve because, they built there and they're rebuilding there now. It's only the poorer and middle class families that don't seem to be able to get that approval. How Odd? Every heard of a town called Harkers Island, NC, use to be just a small fishing town and everyone of those small homes have fought like heck to stay on the island. They're saying the entire island is in a flood zone and these people need to leave or be pushed out due to high taxation. But it's odd, multi-million dollar homes are being built there, where supposedly you can't get a permit to build because of it being right on the water and in a "FLOOD ZONE" BIG TIME! But they're building and allowed to rebuild when storms come and wash them away. They're a small island that housed fishing homes but it was basically a sand dune. The government closed a good 50+ years ago, no one can live there, too dangerous. But not today with all that money coming down the pike, again, somebody got a permit to build and multi-million dollar home are being build as we speak. Isn't it odd, once again!
@@starnealy4550 for the FEMA FIRM maps search FEMA FIRM maps and it will lead to a search box that you can enter specific addresses into that will bring up the applicable FIRM map (if there is one) for that area. These FIRM maps provide the basis for determining County permitting limitations and Insurance industry guidance. It is important to note that a property that has never before flooded and is not currently shown to be a flood concern on a FIRM map does not automatically now come under County regulation as a flood property. The new flood parameters and updated maps must first be developed and approved (this can take 1 or more years typically) and then once developed and approved, FEMA has to give a 6 month notice before the new FIRM map takes effect. Then the County has the authority to flood regulate any newly affected properties, home owners can no longer be covered for flood damage by regular conventional insurance and must obtain flood insurance only from FEMA.
We need portable sawmills.. Instead of burning veneer trees, need to get that woid milled out, the Amish Builders came down and they need materials.. Getting that fresh wood into their hands would be very expeditious
FYI, you can own a river. You can cut a road into the river and pull stone from the river if you want. Doesn’t mean you can chase people off the water or even from the edge of your dry property tho. Spent 30 days on the Swanee river camping on other peoples property.
Can someone explain why we did have a impartial independent inspection of everything the week after the disaster. We must have a plan to clear and rebuild everything.
@@peggybarton232 unfortunately, there’s so much rock and mud that the water has been redirected. It won’t be the same but as some have stated with old GPS listings the people should be home.
Trusting the government... BIG mistake everytime. These people are beyond survivors. They are stronger. Coming together to resolve this situation. My ❤is with you all.
The same reason anyone who thinks for him or her self doesnt trust the government they do not nor never do how our ( we the ppl ) best interest at heart thats the main reason
They went to Asheville with FEMA helped out the only blue town then left. They did a lot of door to door seeing if people needed help in houses with no damage
I was in Colorado when the 500 year flood hit and the roads and bridges were washed out. I remember the governor turning it over to the national guard and they got it done quickly!
They have no interest in rebuilding WNC. they want the land for lithium mine the DOD already has $90 million contract with Albemarle , permits were pulled day before Helene hit and Kamala’s husband is heavily invested in
What happened with all the FEMA trailers brought in during Katrina ? There was a full lot of them parked, empty in South West, Ark. Yrs back. I guess Fema disposed of then.
Because of building codes the tiny homes are not acceptable. But campers are allowed? Could the axels and wheels be left on the tiny homes to qualify as a”camper”.? That is what they’re brought in on. Just asking.
Ppl remember who you can count on (God in heaven) not government as we see the churches in these mountains pull together they have shown us what it mean to be loved by God. If He brings you to it Je will get you through it and let us all see HIS LIGHT SHINE. THKS
I am desperate to find a reliable distribution point or org. In bat cave, chimney rock, lake lure area to take and pass out 20 propane heat systems to folks in need. HELP!!
It's not the government they need to worry about. It's corporations and venture capitalists. Just ask the people that used to live on Sullivan Island after Hurricane Hugo went through.
Most states if its a none commercial navigable river the property owner owen to the center of the river . I know tn and Arkansas is like that and im sure there are others don’t know anout North Carolina but that coukd be checked easily enough

You need to do some independent research on Tarriffs in history. Do you realize that Tarriffs once took the place of Income Taxes.. Im not even going to bring politics into this. This is a matter of ppl just being to lazy to go and check and verify for themselves
I won’t wait bc I seriously doubt it would interfere with you getting your handout that I pay for
Ive seen alot of caring people from all over America. Thank you .Proud to be American and Christian.
Proud to be an American NON CHRISTIAN.
Pride is not part of my Christian faith.
They are coming from Canada to help. No Fema but hard working Canadians working beside Americans.
This truly is one of the best videos out there. You showed the true humanity of how some were already living, the beautiful views, the phenomenal devestation, and how you are helping people & communities. Bless you for your hard work. ❤🙏🙏🙏
I suspect that Homes or Camp Sites will no longer be allowed on Creek Banks as the Old Sites were Grandfathered-allowed because of limited Septic Tank Space and Drainage. If I could no longer use the Property for a Home, i would no Longer Pay Taxes on said Property--Unless the Powers that BE will just allow you to camp on it for a few days at a time so that you could carry your sewage to a Fixed Dumping Station...
We need a couple hundred thousand of us to gather in front of Governors house,!!!
That's for damn sure!!!!
What if 10% went and helped these people build shelters create roads and clear debris. Imagine if 20% that would be 20 THOUSAND PEOPLE actually DOING SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP IMMEDIATELY. Instead of protesting and looking ignorant.
Thoughts and prayers@@MIMI-D
You that STUPID? N.C republicans are over ruling him
Both NC and Tennessee need a lot of help. It's sad that the people who should be helping won't until after January 20. There's though of people who volunteered and many people are volunteering or never quit from the beginning. Praying for all.. Everyone can donate $2 if they buy themselves a candy bar or a coffee. Thank you all who donated or helped out. I don't live there, but I wosh that I could help.. 🙏.
Thank you for helping. Would love to know where this is and when you were there. We were in Newport TN Thankfulness Day serving meals. SO MUCH NEEDS to be done! TY again!
@@kfowler193 we were all over but this latest footage was primarily shot in Pensecola NC
Hard to TRUST the ENTITY that is trying to TAKE YOU OUT!!
Continued prayers for ALL affected by this MAN-MADE disaster 🙏 🙏🙏
Stay well and be safe 🙏

How can anyone sit with a trailer, they can live in and not donate it to some family ! These are everywhere! And most are not being used, because it’s winter, please rescue a family
Is it possible to build houses from the downed trees. Some look quite large.
Officials insisting on rules and regulations being met for temporary shelters are blocking much that would be helpful!
Why should you trust the government? Better yet. Why do you need them period? Only one person who I answer to. Ain’t no man
Well God needs to send his Army of Angels since the men he created are not showing up in droves.
If you have no idea why we need Government I guess you didn’t vote let alone Vote for Trump. If you didn’t then you’re part of the problem.
Odín will save the day he saved us from the Ice Giants do you see them roaming the earth today 🤔
You should have prayed more before the rains came.
This is heartbreaking, heartrending!!
I am barely getting bye ",but if I could I would be there helping my brother and sisters " I don't understand why!
Why does it take a disaster to bring peoples of a country together. Shouldn’t it be like this all of the time 👌😞😣
We have to fight against evil
It's a complete shame the way these people are being treated it breaks my heart
Thank you volunteers for the work you do in North Carolina you are doing a good job you are so carng the Lord Bless each and everyone of you prayers for you
Don't tell me they are going to burn all those logs.They could easily bring in a portable mill and produce lumber to rebuild the houses.There is a lot of lumber there.
No one said they would. That is laying there naturally… no one put those there that’s from the landslide
I used to love driving through this area. I took him from the Carolinas.😢
Proper stream management would be to correct the lie of the stream or river . Army core of Engineers are quite good and experienced at this work. No excuse to not do it. They have protected farmland and homes before . The Mississippi flooding is handled that way
buttttt,,, Where is the Army Corp of Engineers .... ??
....
WHERE IS ALLLLLL OF THE "GOVT / MILITARY "HELPPPP" ??
THESE FOLKS "NEED" HELPPPP .... 2 "MONTHSSSS" AGO !!
"GOD BLESS OUR FELLOW "AMERICANS" anddd "ALLLL" THAT HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND DONATED !!!"
🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
My point was that to say homes can't be built in a river bed . No little houses could be set there where homes used to be. Mississippi flooding is for miles each side. They rebuild and restructure the area. Why can't it be done in NC. 300 yds on both sides of a much smaller streams and river is not right to take property away.
@@Oldfrtsteelerbut, who cares, when $$$ is going in someone's else's pockets? Where is humanity for these people? Blessings 🙌
@@OldfrtsteelerThey’re going much further than 300 yards…
Yet there are people living in tents!!?? Just like Maui they come make insulting pennies on the dollar offers to buy the land. Why buy in a flood zone? Reveal, expose and restore, Father God! 🙏❤🇺🇸🙏
The property line should remain the same. What you purchase compared to what a river has destroyed should not matter that land on your deed should stay the same even if it is in a river. Just reroute the river back where it came from. Thank God for all the great volunteers and donations. Still folks living in tents with cold weather they need housed or shared living space small house something other than a frezzing tent.
🤦♀️👌🏻
I cannot even imagine where to begin. What I see are amazing and good people.
Thank you for raising awareness
Honey, most do not! There’s no reason to. It, will be changing soon! We must continue to pray! ❤❤❤
It'll still be the government.
@@jewel_laughsyes exactly, much worse may be coming, people are blind & too dependent on a certain man
It may not
God bless all
The land and water ways are extremely polluted. The cars , tractors and other motorized vehicles - fuel leaks and batteries. Septic systems. Businesses and their chemicals washed into the flood waters. The trash. The dead animals. The dead people. Chemicals and fuels in barns and storage buildings that floated into the floods ….. cadaver dogs have died. It is in the dirt that is being moved and blown into the wind. Then it is breathed in by humans and animals. It is just overwhelming . Thank you for all you are doing to help.
Oh but humans so smart and so evolved...no we are a cancer a virus..and do not belong on this earth...but yet ..they just keep breeding and breeding as if they live in Paradise...
Has Samaritans Purse been in this area or surrounding areas?
@@Lovebeing543 absolutely!!!
YES Samaritans Purse has helped SO MUCH
I heard from Senator Budd that the reason that they weren't allowing the small shelters is due to the area being in a flood zone. Excuse me when the last MAJOR FLOOD like this happened it was 108 years ago, July 1916 and hasn't happened since. But they've allowed continued building and growth in all our mountain areas. But now they can't bring in temporary shelter to prevent freezing to death for these poor people. I'm from the coast of NC and guess what, it's in a FLOOD ZONE and every June until the end of November, Hurricanes, tropical storms, Northeasterner's come and flood our homes down there. Everyone gets temporary shelter while REBUILDING on the coast. They might say, OK, build "UP" above a certain height or something, but they're allowed to return and rebuild. Why now? Why not use government funds to assist these poor people. They won't leave their homesites, why, they know the government wants their land, CHEAP. Getting a small buy out when the homes are high there and they're mortgages are high, they can't go somewhere else and start over, even if they wanted to and believe you me, people who've grown up in a certain area, their family all around them, their families buried there, they're churches are there, they're not going anywhere. You'll have to bomb them out of those places. Our US Government has money available in these Green New Deal and Deficit Reduction Act bills that have been passed, money allocated and should be utilized to assist these people ASAP or they'll freeze to death. Maybe thats what they want, but be assured, Americans all over the country are watching what our Government is NOT DOING to ASSIST these people and they'll show how angry they are when they go to vote the next time. There are just as many democrats as there are Republicans up in our Mountains and everybody who are leaving these terrible democratic states are moving into NC and they're watching too! Democrats want to know why they lost the vote in 2024, this is a prime example of WHY!
AMENNNNNN !!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Flood zones and floodplain areas Do Not magically appear and subject a property to additional regulation just because a property ended up under water. County, State and Federal regulators are required to use "FIRM" maps, established by FEMA to determine where such flood areas officially exist and are subject to regulation. There are currently FIRM maps on record in these affected Counties and those maps, NOT where the most recent water flowed, are the only areas subject to flood related regulations. Of course the FIRM maps will undoubtedly get updated somewhere down the road (not anytime soon, the process is long) and the areas which recently found underwater will likely appear on the new updated maps, but until that time, these properties recently affected are not flood properties to be regulated if not on the FIRM maps.
Excellent post!
@@chuckdykstra3020 Well I'm 70 away from Asheville and our small town looked like bombs had hit us all over the place. Asheville and other cities are WORST! This Firm Map you say Flood Zones are supposed to be, well, they must of not notified these rich, wealthy people that or someone was paid some bucks to approve because, they built there and they're rebuilding there now. It's only the poorer and middle class families that don't seem to be able to get that approval. How Odd? Every heard of a town called Harkers Island, NC, use to be just a small fishing town and everyone of those small homes have fought like heck to stay on the island. They're saying the entire island is in a flood zone and these people need to leave or be pushed out due to high taxation. But it's odd, multi-million dollar homes are being built there, where supposedly you can't get a permit to build because of it being right on the water and in a "FLOOD ZONE" BIG TIME! But they're building and allowed to rebuild when storms come and wash them away. They're a small island that housed fishing homes but it was basically a sand dune. The government closed a good 50+ years ago, no one can live there, too dangerous. But not today with all that money coming down the pike, again, somebody got a permit to build and multi-million dollar home are being build as we speak. Isn't it odd, once again!
@@starnealy4550 for the FEMA FIRM maps search FEMA FIRM maps and it will lead to a search box that you can enter specific addresses into that will bring up the applicable FIRM map (if there is one) for that area. These FIRM maps provide the basis for determining County permitting limitations and Insurance industry guidance. It is important to note that a property that has never before flooded and is not currently shown to be a flood concern on a FIRM map does not automatically now come under County regulation as a flood property. The new flood parameters and updated maps must first be developed and approved (this can take 1 or more years typically) and then once developed and approved, FEMA has to give a 6 month notice before the new FIRM map takes effect. Then the County has the authority to flood regulate any newly affected properties, home owners can no longer be covered for flood damage by regular conventional insurance and must obtain flood insurance only from FEMA.
Sweet Jesus have mercy on these people it gets so dadburn cold there some years
We need portable sawmills..
Instead of burning veneer trees, need to get that woid milled out, the Amish Builders came down and they need materials..
Getting that fresh wood into their hands would be very expeditious
FYI, you can own a river. You can cut a road into the river and pull stone from the river if you want. Doesn’t mean you can chase people off the water or even from the edge of your dry property tho. Spent 30 days on the Swanee river camping on other peoples property.
I’m in awe.
Relocate to relatives' homes or plan to move to another state. Those mts are still fragile. It could happen again.
Can someone explain why we did have a impartial independent inspection of everything the week after the disaster. We must have a plan to clear and rebuild everything.
Won't the creeks dry eventually back to the original streams .. I know the course of the creek might be forever changed..
@@peggybarton232 unfortunately, there’s so much rock and mud that the water has been redirected. It won’t be the same but as some have stated with old GPS listings the people should be home.
North Carolina we are strong 💪.
Change your governor,he doesn’t care about you.
Search maui fires utbue
What a terrible string of events
The last thing you want to hear is we are the gov we want to help
Trusting the government...
BIG mistake everytime.
These people are beyond survivors. They are stronger.
Coming together to resolve this situation.
My ❤is with you all.
Peace unto you!
The same reason anyone who thinks for him or her self doesnt trust the government they do not nor never do how our ( we the ppl ) best interest at heart thats the main reason
Where is National Gaurd? Army? Marines? Navy? What am I paying Taxes for??
They went to Asheville with FEMA helped out the only blue town then left.
They did a lot of door to door seeing if people needed help in houses with no damage
They were here at first but now gone
Thank you for continuing to keep the rest of us informed about this tragedy, the lamestream media certainly isn't doing their jobs.
God bless FEMA
I was in Colorado when the 500 year flood hit and the roads and bridges were washed out. I remember the governor turning it over to the national guard and they got it done quickly!
They have no interest in rebuilding WNC. they want the land for lithium mine the DOD already has $90 million contract with Albemarle , permits were pulled day before Helene hit and Kamala’s husband is heavily invested in
Where do we donate to help these people?
Samaritans purse
What happened with all the FEMA trailers brought in during Katrina ? There was a full lot of them parked, empty in South West, Ark. Yrs back. I guess Fema disposed of then.
Not one FEMA trailer has been brought here, NOT ONE
Right now what is needed is access and clean up, better roads are not needed just roads are needed
what a nice video . Thanks
where is FEMA
Sitting in cushytown.
Because of building codes the tiny homes are not acceptable. But campers are allowed? Could the axels and wheels be left on the tiny homes to qualify as a”camper”.? That is what they’re brought in on. Just asking.
Ppl remember who you can count on (God in heaven) not government as we see the churches in these mountains pull together they have shown us what it mean to be loved by God. If He brings you to it Je will get you through it and let us all see HIS LIGHT SHINE. THKS

*Well Done* ..
9 Scariest words in the english language are,,,,,,, I'm from the government and I'm here to help😢😮😮
It's not the government they need to worry about. It's corporations and venture capitalists. Just ask the people that used to live on Sullivan Island after Hurricane Hugo went through.
Most states if its a none commercial navigable river the property owner owen to the center of the river . I know tn and Arkansas is like that and im sure there are others don’t know anout North Carolina but that coukd be checked easily enough
Thank u for helping
