Thank you for the music free video.
That was my first thought. No annoying theatrical music. Excellent raw video! Thank you for keeping it music free.
Or annoying A.I. reader
It sounded like nothing I've heard before.
You people are great! We can't be the only ones!
Yes💯
The drone is better news then the local news stations. This tells it all without words!
yep lol
Yes.

Very Little News
Can do without plastic Barbies and Kens trying to look sad.

I don't think this is drone footage; it looks like helicopter news footage to me, coming from a gimbal camera. It has that very characteristic feel of "camera focused on a scene while circling around it" that you don't see in drone footage.
These scenes are saddening and heart breaking. My sympathies with those who have lost their loved ones and their houses. 😢
@word cause they are wyt?
@@Tbrew-zd6xb What do you mean? They are humans and that should be enough to feel sorry for their tragedy. Whites as well as black Americans are lovely people. Look, I immigrated to the US (legally) from Afghanistan a year ago. I am a permanent resident and not even a US citizen. But what I have seen from the American people so far is pure love, respect and kindness. Americans, whether whites, blacks or from any other race or ethnicity, are one of the nicest people in the world. So cordial and kind. Interacting with the wonderful American people only increased my love and respect for them. Love you America and your great generous people ❤️❤️❤️.
@@WordsofHonesty i do not pray for my biblical enemy edom. Recompense is coming upon them for the mistreatment of the real hebrews... blk people
@@WordsofHonesty do you know the history of the w-man in America for the last 400 years? How did you feel about the Russians when they invaded?
@@Tbrew-zd6xb I know the history of European colonialism in America and other parts of the world. But those affected by the hurricane should not be associated with the wrong-doings of their ancestors. I know many white Americans who are severely critical of colonialism and slavery that happened in the past. In my opinion, when we see humans who are suffering, we should feel sympathetic towards them without any consideration for their race, color, religion, ethnicity or political affiliation.
To your question on the Russian invasion; if you mean the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. I feel that the Afghan people fought bravely to defeat the Soviet forces and their puppet communist government. And it was the resilience of the Afghan people that led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and as a result, so many countries in eastern Europe and central Asia got their freedom. And of course, US support to the Afghan people in their struggle and resistance to the Soviet occupation at that time cannot be overlooked.
Love and Light from Canada 🇨🇦 🍁
Wishing everyone safety and peace ❤
Praying for the people of North Carolina
To which god? The one that sent this hurricane?
Never stop praying for you guys in North Carolina
As a North Carolinian, we got hit rough and it's sad to see the damage that had been done, may God be with us all.
Excellent work. Thank you. My cousin is one of the numbers in today's deaths. His house was taken down in a landslide. You captured that level of chaos and tragedy.
Sorry for your loss.🙏
You have my deepest condolences. 😢
I am so sorry to hear this.
So very sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss
Sending prayers, healing, & strength from Florida 💛 Rest In Paradise victims of this horrific hurricane 💜🕊
Thank you for not putting any music or strange sounds on this video. This strengthens my belief that we need more Monster and 4x4 trucks in the US.
Do trucks float?
Saw a rescue vehicle in another video that does. Pretty cool.
I live here. We watched from our home as trees fell on neighbors houses and flood waters got closer and closer. We lost power. Thats all. We got lucky. 😢
What river is this ty
Where exactly do you live??
@@ambergibson1930 Watauga County...north west of Asheville
@@ladyanntheog I have not. I'm not familiar with that area. How close is that to Asheville or Buncombe County? My prayers are with yall.
@@rickyrishel8198 It could be the New, Swannanoa, French Broad, there are so many...
Man, that's hard to watch.
@@c103110a It was scary to live through and this wasn't my first Hurricane either.
🌏🇺🇸🙏🏼🫱🏼🫲🏾🙏🏾❤️🙏🏼🫱🏼🫲🏾🙏🏾
I still havnt heard from my brother who lives just a few miles outside asheville. Must have been terrifying I pray I hear from him soon
Hopefully he has contacted you by now. Sorry for what you are going through.
Praying you hear from your brother soon. My family is praying for North Carolina. 🙏 (from VA).
Cell service has been completely out in most areas. It is getting better though.
@@drsoot9760I had to travel an hour south of Asheville just to get some signal. I pray everyone else is ok
@@monke9765are most roads out?
Love the silence in the footage and no commentary. Mountains focused the water into rivers and low laying areas that flooded, Most businesses in a community are in lower areas, no wonder so much damage to the areas.
This is the kind of news I an understand! Not all that other in-your-face [bleep].
Man, that's horrible. I live in SC and have done many trips up to NC to see all the sights, Chimney Rock, caves, white water rafting, Blue Ridge Parkway, waterfalls, and the mile high bridge and more.
Hope everyone up there is safe, and things get back to normal as soon as possible.
and I was getting ready to move to Burnsville there ... now I can't reach friends there, this is shocking what's happened 😱 may God be with y'all ✝️
Looks like it was a very BEAUTIFUL area
Was just there a couple of weeks ago. What a difference. Stay strong NC & SC. Historical storm.
So many nostalgic places I went to as a kid are just gone now, I can only imagine how people who lost their family members and houses on top of it are feeling
I'll keep my mouth shut about some broken limbs and overturned lawn furniture, my deepest sympathy goes out to those who lost so much.😥
This is unreal ! My heart & prayers for all those affected by this horrific flooding.😢
Prayers go out to all involved
Dear Jesus, prayers for all of those affected!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear god not jesus mmm why
@@twaibupatrick-k1n Read your Bible. Jesus is the advocate to his Father. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@twaibupatrick-k1n*God, *Jesus always get capital letters because most of us believe. Sad for you that you don’t.
Unbelievable
I can't even imagine how much this is going to cost to rebuild, this might be the costliest disaster to ever hit America.
That money they sent overseas sure would help our ppl right now
Such devastation. Excellent filming
Prayers to all the ppl in these towns 😢😢😢😢 my heart goes out to u all ❤
This was just heart wrenching to watch. Those communities are completely destroyed 😢
Heartbreaking to see. I live in central florida and feel blessed with minimal damage. Prayers for all affected by this devastating storm😢
Spruce Pine had to be devastated
Thank you for this, I have a cousin and his wife between Flat rock and Brevard and have not been able to make contact. Just contributed to a local church taking necessary supplies in to families. We must help as we can, this will be a long recovery
I keep hearing that the cell phones are down.
Good video coverage. We visit this area often, along with 19 E from Johnson City to Elizabethtown TN, Asheville and hiking in the mountains. This is so heartbreaking for the folks who live/ work there
What a shame. Prayers for them all affected by this tragedy.
I'm in VA, on the TN and NC lines. Our roads, bridges and lots of homes got destroyed. Nothing as bad as this, but the devastation to infrastructure is widespread.
We need more ham radio operators in this country. They can run their radios on a small generator even if the power is out.
So sad to see our mountains in such a devastating way. I was just in Boone, Blowing Rock and Beech Mountain 2 weeks ago.💔🙏🏻
Boone has no internet now , the news said 9 - 28 - 2024 . They've all swarmed down to North Wilkesboro to escape . I- 40 is closed outside of Asheville on the Tennessee side , and also on the other side of Asheville before you get to the city from the Piedmont side . Thank you all for your prayers and thank God for His mercy for the survivors !
Most of us outside of town are out of lights too. People are in line for gas. We're from the coast so we were prepared but it's a mess and traffic is worse than ever. We beg you all to stay out of High Country right now!!!
@@maevependragon most definitely!! We were without power yesterday and we live in the Piedmont Triad area.
@@lisacecil449 God bless you , honey . I'm in Durham with no problems except needing to check our family's home in the mountains . Hope you have food , otherwise the Southsquare area is OK .
@@lisacecil449 Lol we want to move there!!!! Now more than ever!!!
I wonder how many insurance companies will be filing for bankruptcy
"Does not cover acts of god"
Most of us in NC use farm bureau and they ain't going bankrupt
Do you smell a bailouts. Capitalism is for the people.
Flood insurance is separate from homeowners policy, I wonder how many actually had flood insurance.
@@magssg15 mine covers Acts of god flood fire hail wind
Praying for the people all affected by this hurricane. We had a foot of flooding in a building in Florida and that looks like nothing compared to these images.
I'm in upstate SC and thankfully only had one tree to fall beside my house. Most of my family are in South Georgia with a lot of wind and tree damage, its bad but this...this is just heartbreaking.
Lamento mucho lo sucedido 😞. Abrazo solidario desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
OMG I am in East TN and I keep hearing about Western NC, but haven't seen this raw footage of this devastation. It's horrifying! I hope people are now somewhere safe!
@@Skirkly What part? I'm in Boone. I heard 40 is gone. I saw they were evacuating Johnson City at one point. I hope you are all ok!!!
I'm in NC, but further east than where this happened and I was praying for both NC and TN! Looked like the storm bands were just stopping in Tennessee to drop all their water. It's going to take a long time to fix this mess.
Bless yall! I’m in SE, Ky(90miles from Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg). We got lucky here, a few power outages but no deaths or mudslide
I'm right there with you man. I'm in eastern NC
This has been weighing heavily on my mind. This is catastrophic for the people in that region. Such a beautiful area. 🙏🏻for everyone
My 2nd home from '87 to '17 :gorgeous state from 1 end to the other:. Heartbreakingly Sad!!!
I'm so sorry, NC. Our SC hearts are completely broken for all of you. This area is like my second home and is almost unrecognizable. Wish I could pluck every person out the water and off the mountain tops. It is a truly helpless feeling seeing these images.
Ashville is only an hour drive west of where I live in NC. This is all so surreal to us. The whole state has a lot of rivers. Those of us East are still on watch for flooding still.
I’m about an hour from Asheville as well, very lucky where I am at. The only thing that happened here is a power outage for a few hours
Sending prayers for my family and everyone affected by these storms
This has truly devastated WNC. It will take months to recover from this. But we will rebuild and flourish once again.
It’s heartbreaking 😢 we’re up in Madison County. Marshall and Hot Springs were devastated too.
It’s just hard to believe this is actually real. 😮
Shocking,unbelievable, saddening,apocalyptic. Silence louder than words.😢😢😢
So Sad! Thank you Roy Cooper for trying to help North Carolinains!
Prayers for all affected by this storm.
This is why strong government is needed. Among other reasons, there is a very very heavy reliance on government to come in and take care of these massive areas of destruction. This is why the rich who have millions and billions and trillions of dollars need to pay a fair share of taxes. Those tax dollars are needed throughout the United States for infrastructure for schools for hospitals, for roads, etc….
This is just devastating for Western North Carolina. We live in the southeastern part of the state where the tornadoes were forecasted to be especially numerous. However, thank the Lord, we had no tornadoes, no flooding, and we didn't even lose power. Praying for these folks.
@@soulaesthete8563 Most people here don't know how to act in this weather. We live here but my husband is from VA Beach and I'm from Eastern NC. We were prepared but people panicked and many where i live are young students. That made it so much worse.
This is going to hurt so bad. I was looking to buy a house in NC I am sure other people are also. Not now omg
I bought a couple acres about a hour from Asheville and have a small shed house, A bit higher elevation and had about 10 trees fall and about 8 now leaning halfway down no other damage luckily.
We lived 5 years in NC in a nice area on a nice street. The hurricanes were a huge factor for us fleeing, but were fourth on the list of reasons.
No one could pay me enough to live there ever again. You have dodged a bullet, figuratively and literally.
Yep, 80% you will Go through this if you do.
With climate change impacting natural disasters across the country (and world), there really isn't a place to go. This is something we have been looking into, and there are some places that are better than others. I would suggest that when doing your research you look at predicted climate future rather than past performance. Good luck!
@@kurtdowney1489 Who knew the mountains would be so susceptible to this destruction.
Heart welching. Prayers and healing goes to all in need.
Father God, please help us! 😢
We have a family farm there called Harrell Hill Farm. It’s just outside the town area of Bakersville and from what we’ve seen there, it will take at least a year to recover.
dam i jus got internet back on after the flood didn’t know it was this bad
Sending Prayers 🙏
Wow..months and years ahead of work to reach some normally..
It will not be the same again.
@@Fusion_4000 While this is true, these areas will never be quiet the same.
Helene’s gonna leave a permanent scar across Appalachia.
praying for you all
We keep our Fingers cross for all the people❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭we are sooooo shocked when we see all the pictures.....MANY HUGS AND PRAYERS FROM GERMANY!!!
So sad. Prayers for all!
🙏🙏 for the fine folks in this area. I just traveled all through this area on Sunday 😢😢🙏🙏
Praying for the people in the hurricane areas
Prayers To All Those Lost And Affected By The Hurricane. God Bless All Of You
Pray for my state
Praying for all of you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. So sorry 😢
"Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair." The power of our planet reminds us of the insignificance of man.
make sure yall mute this if yall want to watch it just in case that background sound frequency is vibrating on a tune that promotes fear like the background theme music of tiktok videos.
You are right. I noticed the same thing, and muted the video.
@claudiahansen4938 ahhh good.
So sorry for all of the losses. No words
We were right at the crux of the damage in Alexander Co. We pumped out 9300 gallons of water from our crawlspace last night, with the help of friends who had extra sump pumps. NO INTERNET unless your directly in town near the main and only cell tower. Power was restored Friday evening around 10,in half the town, after 27 hours or so without it.
HOWEVER,Having lived in Watauga, Jackson Co on mountain sides,and having worked in Haywood,Swain and Macon Co, I am beyond devastated. I used to live near Caney Fork, in East LaPorte,below Cullowhee and also in Balsam,NC as well as Meat Camp. I EVEN lived in Brevard for a moment too. My soul has been apart of the mountains since I was a kid, living close to Boone and coming from a ASU family. 😢
I KNOW, those areas I used to stay are probably washed away or washed out totally. I always lived next to the Tuckaseegee River and watched it flood many times in mild rain storms.
The moment I can drive the truck up there to help, with shovels, buckets ect, we will be there. We live 40 minutes from Blowing Rock. I am just sending so much love and hope to my Applachian communties. ❤
That less than an hour from us. We were lucky in comparison. Yes, we had lots of damage, lost power, but not like this. Pray.
Busick, NC got 30.78 inches of rain. I can't even wrap my head around how it would be to see that amount of rain in a day little on the impossiblity of even if you knew trying to prepare for that amount of rain. I haven't heard any news out of that area. I hope and pray people survived.
So sorry to see such devastating and the many lives that were lost. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What about the Cherokee tribe? Has anybody checked on them?
I am used to hurricane damage, but now I’m not because of the hurricane we lived in Colorado, but my family member lives in Asheville😢
thanks for sharing this
WITHOUT GOD ALL WILL PERISH.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😢😢. FOCUS ON HIM AND PRAY THERE IS NO OTHER OTHER HELP IS NEEDED.
Sending prayers ❤️
get ready kirk may be a week and a couple days behind, we got hit 3 times in 2005 it sucks
So sad to see this. Prayers for a quick recovery.
Ive never been more shocked snd stupefied watching a video, a hurricane in the Carolinas
Will they ever admit climate change?
"Carolinas???" Never heard of that state.
@@flyingthesails6801 It's the state of being Unnecessarily Corrective.
🙏🏻 for these people
May the Lord Jesus, ease your pain and come to your aid
That is so sad, not another dime to Ukraine or other foreign countries till we fix and help our own!
Natural disasters are signs of the messiah’s return. If we come together in prayer and have faith, God will turn this around.❤❤
I live in central NC, very lucky to live in the area that I do, flooding in the county’s around me everywhere.
In a macabre way it's very serene and peaceful.......
like death itself maybe
This is my old stomping grounds. I lived in Kingsport Tn. For 8 years. Had land in Asheville. Was going to build a home one day. Lost both places in 2008 housing debacle! Obama’s reign! This is some of the most beautiful country in this nation! I’m so saddened to see it like this! Praying for all of the people and wildlife. Homesteaders.
The people have no way of getting in touch with anyone not for help nor to reach out to family. No wifi, no phone service.
Where can we help? Anyone?
The American Red Cross, in NC anyway.
the red cross is at app states convocation center in boone, but they need more food. the watauga humane society doesn’t have water and needs fosters
Ashville NC got hit hard
Samaritans Purse is really good they go everwhere.
FEMA AND OR HOME OWNERS INSURANCE
Prayers for everyone involved.
What town is that at 2:22?
I hate giving this a thumbs up, because it's so heart breaking and horrifying, but thank you for the compilation
Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected.
Who and where is the current president ?
Dear God help these people. I'm heartbroken for them. If you have a car live in it like a lot of us do.
My Elderly parents live on Loch Haven Road in Swannanoa I have not been able to get ahold of them if anyone can tell me anything about that side of town I will greatly appreciate it.
You might want to share that information with the Police in Wilson, NC... that appears to be the closest town that would have a police dept. At least ask if they have any information regarding shelters, and how to locate someone who might be in one.
I noticed on google maps that there's I-40 just north of there, with a creek in between I-40 and the access road to your parent's street. It's likely it flooded...
@@harleygould7255thank you
@@harleygould7255 im from both Eastern and Western NC. Wilson is about 4 hours East of Buncombe County which is where Swannanoa is located. I do know that the Swannanoa River flooded badly and that area was hit hard. I'd call Buncombe County Sheriff and ask for a wellness check. I'm 2 hours north of Swannanoa and they're helicoptering in National Guard and FEMA. Many people have gone to shelters in the area.
Praying you hear from your parents 🙏 very soon.
hoping and praying they are safe
Biltmore area was so beautiful too. 😥
Breaks my heart 😢😢😢😢
This damage reminds me of the 2011 Japan Tsunami. Everything just wrecked.
God protect Yours!
