  • I've spent a ton of time in this neighborhood the past few years. Such a difficult love relationship we have with the river and nature's forces.

    thanks for sharing this video. i am a retired plant operator from msd treatment plant. i retired april 2013 after 25 years at msd. i was wondering how the plant held up. your video answered my question as the plant had not flooded, i noticed the dam level and the water level below was about equal.

    Thanks for sharing; it's so depressing to see the devastation and the tremendous sadness for the people who cannot get out or get relief. Hopefully, the relief will come soon.

    Thanks for this video Marc. I've been in touch with people at SimpleShot in Woodfin. They produce slingshots. Many of the employees had their homes damaged in this horrible catastrophe.The SimpleShot factory is OK because their production facility and storage are in the 4th floor. I hope you will all be OK and get plenty of relief in the coming days and weeks.

      Ty for this video. So many do not know it was the flooding, not the actual hurricane. So much judgement,why we weren't prepared,why people didn't evacuate if they were giving a warning. This is a mountain, when dirt gets wet it caves. 😮❤

      @@mmbvab1Last year I was hiking on the Long Trail in Vermont. I had issues with my phone and poor cell coverage. When resolved my cell issue I learned a massive rain storm was coming in. To make a long story short I am fortunate to be alive. Another hiker down the trail drowned. The storm was not nearly as bad as this one but the state capital and many towns were under multiple feet of water. Pretty much every farmer lost their crops and many roads and bridges were destroyed. A year later on the exact day parts of the state got flooded again by a similar massive rain storm. These people will find their way but it was most certainly take time. Much of the help in Vermont came from locals and local excavators. Neighbors helping each other.

    1000 year flood... every 5 years now....with climate change (whatever the cause) the amount of rain in these storms is just mind boggling.... no way that human ambitions will be able to stand up to these forces

      Why stand up to it when you can blame the libs and their weather machine? Seems way easier on the smooth brain than understanding the uniquely complex concept that is climate change on the only habitable planet in known existence. /s

      And they had 2 days prior of torrential downpours to add Insult. You are seeing the roads wiped out because the rivers over ran their banks by 20 ft. I’ve driven those roads all my adult years. They were safe until that 400 mile wide Storm came up from the Gulf. Get over yourself. NC Civil Engineers are among some of the Best. Use your inner dialog Buddy.
