As a Erwin resident I was pretty much left without power for like 8 hours due to the flooding and to add this up we've had people from out of state come out and help but most people wanted to see the damage for themselves.
We have been helping and actually have been turned away by some organizations to volunteer. 🤯When the video was made we were already in Erwin. I’m sorry if people where treating it like a tourist spot. We are completely devastated for you as our neighbors!💔
Thank you for this breaks my heart the wrath of this storm I love unicoi county Erwin TN beautiful place people there hands down are the best you could ever meet 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It would be awesome if you covered the damage upstream. It is a daunting task, but based on what I saw happen near the end of the Toe River it looks like that railway has been decimated nearly beyond repair. It will be a major effort to repair the whole line. Keep VERY safe, but it would be quite an adventure walking the unused tracks from where they are near roads in North Carolina. Drone coverage extending your view would be amazing.
Gonna be months before the Clinchfield is back up and running again. I wonder what they’ll do with the Santa train this year if they can’t repair this.
@@trainchaserelliot Most likely. Hate to see it the Clinchfield in disrepair like that. Just means one thing that M652/653 and M692/93 will have to be rerouted along with other traffic.

Have been fishing there for over 25 years, really hurts to see that
I have caught some trains there before if you look in my previous videos but still it really hurts to see it all gone
Elliot that is awesome reporting. Stay safe.

Up here in Roanoke Virginia we went under a tornado warning and got bad flooding
Dang that CSX railroad bridge was almost submerged!
It was. It moved half a foot because of the water!
@@trainchaserelliot 😨
Terrible… absolutely terrible destruction down there.
Yea it’s terrible!
Cool!
Very scary. Mother Nature always gets the last word.
Exactly!

They probably won’t have Santa Train. :(
