- This survey shows the raw power and terrible destruction left behind from 1 in 1000+ year flood in Kentucky. This shows the scenes along Troublesome Creek from Dwarf through Hindman, KY. We were delivering supplies to the Flea Market in Hazard, KY with the Flex Seal relief truck. These folks need all the help and resources they can get. Water, canned goods, clothing, towels, cleanup tools and rain gear with more rainfall moving in! Additional flash flooding possible today with a new flash flood warning in effect in the Hindman area.

Quit saying its 1-1000 year event. Its going to happen again and again. Climate change is REAL!
So glad you stepped up to this challenge or I should say opportunity to say "we love and are thinking of you" - listening to their heart cry out with the devestation they are facing along with the loss of so many lives-
God bless you Reed and storm chasing family
We'll be donating on the 3rd of August
And giving money to the kentucky Gov is a sure fire way to make sure the people in need to NOT get the funds.
Please be aware of the donation scams and just help people directly.

That night I felt a sinking feeling when the flood watch rang through my phone right before I went to sleep because I knew it meant overnight flooding. I kept waking up to check on my location, but once I saw the training going on there my stomach dropped. My heart goes out to everyone devastated by this flood. Kentucky is popular for night time severe weather unfortunately. I've adopted sleeping in shifts with friends and family during nights when there is an intense severe weather threat. Thank you Reed for bringing supplies to Kentucky once again, your kindness will never go unnoticed!! ❤
Sleeping in shifts, I will never forget that. 🥺🥺🥺
Best to just pack up and all sleep in the storm shelter overnight when those storm warnings come. Better safe than sorry and sleep deprived.
I am 72 years old and have seen much distruction in my life, but I have never seen the things we see now. God bless you guys 🥺❣🙏🏼
That's why it's called a 1 in 1000 year flood
We're the same age and I fully agree with you. From Tennessee, just below
Kentucky line.
@@hhaste God bless and keep you and yours ❣

CO2 or carbon dioxide is the culprit for a warming planet. Obviously earth needs CO2 to regulate the temperature to make light on Earth habitable. But the habitability levels of CO2 need to be between 320 to 350 parts per million. 180 parts per million creates ice age. On Earth. Last time that happened was $16,900 years ago. Today CO2 on average is 420 parts per million and climbing. Humans are 100% responsible for the burning of coal oil and natural gas which is increasing CO2 levels. The world's oceans are heating up at a pretty fast pace due to the trap heat in the atmosphere. Right now the total equivalent heat uptake is 17 * 10 to the 22nd Jules heat energy or equivalent of 5 Hiroshima thermal nuclear bombs per second. The overheating world's oceans are pushing enormous amount of moisture into the atmosphere. Is increasing flooding during rainy Cycles which is called La Nina in Southeast Asia. When the United States sees an El Nino condition then the flooding will occur on the west coast of the United States and all countries connected to the base of the United States. If you want to see evidence in the Indian Ocean is the same except more intense. The Indian Ocean is warmer than the Pacific Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Go on to Google and search this word combination, Australia flood list. It looks like a long spreadsheet of year and the type of flood. To start in the early 1900s and you'll see that there is a couple years between flooding per occurrence. You'll start to see a trend as you climb into the 60s 70s 80s 90s and the 2000s as the floods are increasingly occurring more often every year.
There's too many negative comments about people living in "obvious" flood plains, like it's some kind of recent trend or something. When towns and cities were first settled in America, there was no running water or indoor plumbing. America did not have indoor plumbing in homes until the late 1800's, and the vast majority of that was in cities, NOT rural areas. You built right on top of the closest water source for your day-to-day survival. Water is heavy and was hard to move before plumbing and electricity was available, and then only if you had the money. Also, there were no records readily available to study past flood trends to know where not to build. You would just find water and start building your shelter, which would eventually turn into towns. The trails turned into roads. That's how it was, world-wide, since the beginning of civilization. I never see anybody mention this historical fact, they just judge.
Oh thanks! I never thought about this.
Pay now or pay later.
Fun fact: Houston was built on a flood plain.
@@aizensosuke5825 As was every major city in America. State the obvious often?
Yeah and what people don’t realize is, this flood wasn’t really about the rivers & flood plains. It’s about the little creeks not being able to hold an enormous amount of water at once. Also, a lot of small communities are located in hollows, and that much rain falling that fast pools and creates its own “river” in the hollows, just destroying everything. Property no where near a flood plain were destroyed & swept away. Homes that had never been flooded before, not even close, were just wiped out in no time. It was a flash flood and that’s much different from a river flood. I’ve lived here in Breathitt Co for 47 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. I have no doubt this flood was caused by a perfect storm of climate change & impact from the decades coal mining & mountain top removal. I wish the people who are judging these poor people who lost everything would do a little research & learn what that much rain in that short length of time, can do to rural areas. They’d rather run their mouths about something they know nothing about.
Where in the hell would you go if you lost everything like this - legal papers, clothes, furniture, the house, the cars, photographs, everything - I can't even imagine the horror. You can't escape because your car got swept away and no way to get a hold of anyone because everything is a smashed up mess. Those poor, poor people.
And the White House is busy catering to the illegal immigrants pouring in over the border. I'm mad enough to spit nails.
My best friend’s cousin actually lives in tornado alley but she’s moving soon, and for the past 5 years she was in the military. While being in the military, she was taught to be extremely quick, and to pick up everything with lighting speed. So every time there’s a tornado warning out for the area where she lives, without the tornado itself even fully being on the ground….she immediately packs up everything she owns. I’m talking all of her clothes, shoes, makeup, hair stuff, accessories, then of of course her legal papers, health documents, keys, memories from the military and her childhood….non perishable food, and drinks….and something that I just recently learned….when she first moved to I think she either lives Iowa or Kansas, her father who also served in the military, built as strong ass storm shelter that’s big enough to hold at least 6 people, and baggage. She’s also able to bring some pillows, blankets, and a makeshift mattress in there. She’s lived in Tornado Alley since 2025 and with every tornado she’s experienced…..she never lost anything, except for her car which she doesn’t really care about since she prefers to walk most places. However, I think that’s a smart idea though….when there’s a tornado warning out, or a flood warning…before it all hits where you are, as best and fast as you can….pack up as many of your belongings as humanly possible, and then leave.
These record localized rain events continue to occur in each state completely devastating entire poor communities and are increasing in intensity with each year. My town was 98% destroyed in 2016 and I've watched the consistency of intensity of many many events in every state since. It changed our southern Louisiana town and our landscape was much more forgiving than what these victims are working with. This will be the fate for any community along any US riverway within the next 10 years. The rain values are too extreme to allow for runoff especially near our concrete jungles.
Did you feel the same for the people of New Orleans?
@@montanalou7711 if your referencing Katrina, that was a TOTALLY different situation all around. Yes "basically" there was devastating flooding but there were WARNINGS that began more than a week before Katrina and N.O is a bowl. New Orleans doesn't hold a candle to Kentucky's topography. This disaster was from a NON TROPICAL rain event that would've inundated any area it happened to stall over.
I was born in Floyd County but have lived in Michigan and Indiana for the past 70 years. I am 87 years old and have some idea what these folks are experiencing. Hopefully my donation will be of some help.😚
My heart goes out to all who have suffered loss during these floods!
but many homes that were left standing, the people may just repair them if they can and still live there. People KNOW that when you live this close to rivers/streams they may flood. It's the risk you take. I live 3 1/2 miles off the Atlantic in SC and I KNOW a hurricane could wipe my house out. It's the risk I take for living here.
@@trvman1 they weren’t even in a flood zone
@@TugIronChief ☹☹😭
@@cakepopmopsop they were next to a creek, that's all it takes. I was in a 100-year flood, in a valley with a river, I Know what the power of water can do!
How devastating! I follow a couple on TH-cam that live in this area. They came on yesterday and said they were ok, but it’s really bad. After watching this, I can see what they meant. Prayers to all! 🙏
It's terrible. Everyone, please donate if you can!
@@ReedTimmerWx uh, ill donate when they elect credible managers. they are on there own.
Who are they
This is so very horrible I can't imagine what these poor people are going through
How awful for those people. Condolences to the families who lost loved ones.
It's awful. Please consider sending support.
I'd say Kentucky has had a bad year but that would be an understatement 😥
Yup
Praying for all the affected people of this flood. And thank you Reed for helping these people I appreciate it.
I live in Kentucky. And it's heartbreaking
@Vicky K I'm across the river from Ashland we didn't get hit like they did. It's so sad being that close watching all these people suffer
@Vicky K Ashland is in NE KY . We are fine. Didn't get anywhere close to the amount of rain that SE Ky got.
@Vicky K no problem
Sadly that’s my daughter’s double wide at 11:27 in the creek they lost everything , but so happy they are alive . Got out went up the hill just before water took their home , so devastating to our community and the people in it . Please pray for Kentucky.
The power of fast flowing water is just hard to fathom. But as this video clearly shows, the damage is very comparable to that of a violent tornado. It is shocking to see bare foundations where homes once stood. And the worst of this flooding happened around 3:00 AM when most people were sleeping. It was just a terrible set of conditions coming together at the worst possible time of day.
The smell is like a sewer what houses still stand have silt in the walls even. Your belongings mostly sit on the floor and ruined.
@@geraldinelucas3143 that's heartbreaking! 😭
Thanks Reed for all you do and Flex Tape. I am fortunate to work for a company who is helping with a food truck to be set up to cook and deliver hot meals and will be matching what the employees donate. I also donated through Ryan Hall. This is very sad and I can't imagine what these people are going through.
Answered prayer on the food truck
My Grandfather always said, "Never build your house next to a river, stream, or creek because of flooding and the edge of cliffs because of slips." He was right. As for me, I'm in total shock at the destruction caused by Mother Nature. Houses, cars, and whatnot. I feel really sorry for the folk. I really do. Reggie from New Zealand.
I live here in Eastern Kentucky where it flooded and our valleys are narrow maybe up to several hundred feet wide in places. A lot of homes have never flooded until this flood came that night and the flood came in two different waves with the second wave the biggest one. This flood was the biggest flood we have ever had and the waters would not go back down that's how much rain we got on the 27th. and through the night on the 28th. Here in Virgie Kentucky the flood waters flooded for the next twelve hours non stop. When i saw that Reed and a few more storm chasers were in my area then i knew something big was going to happen with their weather report. We never lost power that night and stayed on the front porch watching the waters which went all the way around my home raging away. There were some people on the road who had to come to my house and spend the rest of night until around 10 the next morning when the water had went down enough for them to travel on home. Here FEMA requires you to build so high of the ground based on a 100 year flood. The recovery process here took months of work due to the large extent of the damage. Reed and all the storm chasers here in the USA are better at the weather than any local forecast out there.
Thank you Dr. Timmer for the video and for giving the victims of this disaster relief! You and Ryan Hall Ya'll are helping a lot. I wonder if anyone else is? Do you see any other support coming in, other than government?
Yes the company I work for is helping out. They will have their food truck there cooking and donating meals to victims and volunteers. Also several churches in my area will be going up there this week with deliveries.
@@MzVicky Bless you and your team and the churches. You all will have crowns in heaven!! Ohhh, if I was young again, I'd be right there!! I could only donate, that's all this old woman could do. Thank you!!
The power of water is always awe inspiring. The level of damage done is just incredible.
How close people live to that water in unbelievable. Very poor decisions in this town.
@@jboy7339 I live along a Brooke in my town. You can go 10+ years without a flood. Many many towns are built near living water. Furthermore I doubt this town floods like it did with this flood. This is a thousand year flood. An event that has a 1/1000 chance to happen every year. There was close to a Foot of rain that has come down in this area within a matter of hours. Most places would flood and badly at that. What further complicates matters is the fact these people live in the mountains so all that water gets concentrated into the valleys. Now instead of a foot of rain, what they experienced is equal to 2-3 feet of rain in 12 hours.
I live in westchester county in ny. During Irene my home flooded with 5 feet of water. Before that we had minor flooding issues but nothing like that. Then, ida came 10 years later. We had 10 inches of rain in about 12 hours. 8 inches of that rain came in 2 hours. There was flooding in my area that had never been seen before.
Now tell me if my house was a mistake. Tell that to the face of these people that have lost everything. Your comment was insensitive and Ill-informed.
@@pickelsvonbrine Like I said bad decisions. I would never live in this type of habitat in between huge hills. I think into the future and not solely on the present.. But I wish you all the best and better decisions in your near future.
@@jboy7339 not everyone does that and not everyone has the choice either. Many of these people have lived in these towns for generations and don’t have the money to move.
Oh How Terrible!! Such Destruction!! my Heart Aches for These People!! Thank You Reed for Bringing this to Our Attention!! Seeing is Believing!! They'll be in my Prayers!! Please Be Safe Always!!🙏🕊🙏
Just insane. Thanks Reed for the updates..
My heart aches for what these people have gone through, and what they are facing now !
One of those that you really don't want to smash that like button.
I used to fish in Troublesome Creek when I was a kid. Witnessed it flash flooding twice and assisted with the cleanup, but as devistating as they were, they were nothing compared to this one. Praying for the rain to stop.
Guess they call it Troublesome Creek for a reason.
So many thoughts and prayers for those affected by this disaster 🙏 I know what it's like to lose personal belongings, but at least I still had a roof over my head. This is so bad, hard to comprehend. Thankful for Reed👍and all the stormchasers🤩 Will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers 🙏 ❤
@Kokobaboko that's utterly insane! God be mad for banning murder??? You don't know the Ten Commandments, do you?
Your mind just can’t imagine all this devastation....praying for all the people in this area 💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man, on top of EVERYTHING ELSE we're trying to cope with
this just takes EVERYTHING people has left to battle against.
Remember people. Action not words. Prayers do nothing to help the people who have lost their life’s earnings. Actions do
Believe it or not, most of us praying folks are quite capable of praying and acting. Just because we pray does not mean we won't help in other ways.
I didn't realize how bad it was. It was an honor to meet you and can't thank you enough for all your help. I've been watching you since the TV show back in the day.
Prayers from Canada for all the heartache everyone is dealing with
Prayers for all affected by this horrible flood 🙏
Heartbreaking 😢
God Bless you Reed and the other Storm chasers... My heart breaks for Eastern KY - Stay safe friends, please be careful it's raining up here in Northern KY - and headed your way --- we love you E. KY -- help is coming. Lighting candles and praying for you all.
This is truly heartbreaking 💔
Sad aight to see. Such devastation flash floods bring with it. Unreal the power
My family and I live in southeast Kentucky just a couple of counties distance from those affected. I have never seen anything like it in my life, not even the 1977 flood that devastated Bell County as well as Harlan and others. Praying for my neighbors and will definitely donate. I'm disabled but maybe a couple of dollars would help.
Imagine if everyone donated a couple dollars..... it would add up fast. God bless you for your heart for others even though you don't have alot extra to help. Everything counts!
Agreed! We live in Clay county, 20 miles from Hazard! My wife has numerous friends who ha e lost everything.. including lives.. no words or feelings.. just Shock…
Blessings, Prayers at this point would be best..Donations perhaps down the road when the area is set up..
we are gathering up here in No KY to send down to y'all --- prayers for you all. Stay safe ....
The flooding events are occurring at an increasing rate on a global scale. Carbon dioxide which is released from the burning of coal oil and natural gas traps thermal heat in the atmosphere. 90% of that heat energy is stored and absorbed in the world's oceans. That is equivalent of five Hiroshima style thermal nuclear bombs per second. It's been going up every year since the year 2000. Don't ask me why there's been a large increase but it's shown on NASA's website. That is causing the surface of the ocean to evaporate a much increased level flooding the global atmosphere with much more moisture. Australia is experiencing the worst of these floods like never ever in his 120 years of record-keeping. In 1988 Dr James Hansen sat before Congress. He had a big new announcement and he said that global warming was detected. Earth was warming unlike any other time in the last 10,000 years. If CO2 emissions from the burning of coal natural gas is not slow down or reversed, he said that by 2050 Earth will see a large increase in flooding events, heat waves, drought. He used mathematical models to predict this outcome. The only thing is the scientists were off by 30 years. There's also traumatic impacts of climate change on the Arctic. 15 years ago I was in the the British Columbia Forest system. We're probably 500 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Because the Arctic is warming up at 2 to 3 times faster than the rest of the planet, the Arctic polar vortex was allowing the Arctic bark Beetle to survive. It killed off 75 million hectares of forest. It was absolutely devastating what I was witnessing.
My parents grew up along the banks of Troublesome Creek. I've seen this twice when I was a kid when my dad went back home to help with flood recovery, but not this bad.
Thank you for sharing this with us Reed.
I"m totally amazed by how fast the water went down totally incredible, few days ago you needed a kayak to get through. The same happened here at Othello Tunnels, which is still closed down. May the people of Kentucky find resiliency and new blessings along their new path.
I wanna go 🧲 fishing
I lived in Florida for many yrs and went through a few hurricanes, I am finally in Tennessee back to my Appalachian roots, and I have never seen such horrible devastation in my whole 70 yrs of life, praying, and will keep praying,,,, the full recovery will take yrs.
So horrific, to come at dark, continuing prayers 🙏
The devil is a thief in the night.
Man i always remember when Reed and his crew from Storm Chasers drove into i think it was Yazoo City after a bad one and they we’re straight out trying to help people all while wearing flip flops on his feet 🙂 Incredible footage.
He could use shoes
Last year om july 19 we had the same in Belgium. Devastating!
Yes if you're talking about the Belgium Germany corridor. A atmospheric heat block pretty much caused the entire low pressure front to stall right over Germany and Belgium. The flooding was absolutely horrific and devastating. Germany has never experienced anything like it in its entire life. The characteristic sheet stop or atmospheric block is either 4 days of an intense very dangerous Heat from a high pressure front or 4 days of intense rain.
😭 wow. Unreal 🙏💔. And they will have to rebuild on there own. So they need as much help as they possible can. 🙏
That is extremely bad devastation I hope those people are okay
32(+) people passed in this event. Please pray for their families.
Can't even imagine how long the just the clean up will take let alone rebuilding. This is tragic and I would imagine many who lost everything were also uninsured.
Thanks for your great video. Prayers for all those in the flood. I'll pray three hours extra.
Puerto Rico looked like that after Irma and Maria, everywhere! We leave tomorrow from southern Louisiana to bring supplies and help. Stay strong Kentucky and God Bless you ALL!
My prayer is that they find more people alive. Pets also. We need some good news coming out of this a miracle would be welcome
Excellent photo quality, like 3D. 👍 The devastation is heart breaking for these folks.
It is going to take yrs to clean up and rebuild. My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved. They will come back strong.
Yeah and get wiped out yet again when the next flood comes to the flood plain they rebuilt on.
Rebuild?? On the creek? That is the definition of insanity.
i live in Hindman and its flooding again this morning,many roads are covered again with water
Its amazing the power water has and how fast it can rise. Prayers for those involved.
God gave me a vision similar to Ez 9 and gifted me with d 6 weapons/angels/plagues : wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution was release of devils causing wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911. America in Houston sent 4 kkk to brutalise, terrorise and made 9 attempts to kill me secretly after Hearsts runaway 18-wheeler flew over d road to hit my car. Hospitalized unconcious with brokened face, chest and leg, hearsts men and insurance men came to disturb me and behaved aggressively, prompting Dr Parameswara to tell me tt I wld be killed after my discharge. I was attacked in my crutches and pushed down d staircase and my face brokened again in an attempt to beat me to death . Jennifer, a 12 year old girl living across d street rushed out to say that she wld call d police. They retreated on seeing Jennifer. D kkk told me tt they were big and strong, supreme race, superpower who built up d USA, liked burning crosses and adored Hitler and saluted Hitler and therefore Entitled to give me shit and show me no mercy as I had given trouble to America in meeting with an accident. Failing to kill me secretly because of Jennifer and I had also foiled their 3 attempts to poison me
America then changed its tactics to try to get me killed by d authorities as in d story of Patty Hearst, Daniel in d Bible and Jesus Christ. I was brutalised by a black giant Gestapo constable at d Harris County Court and carried into jail. Judge Alex Green brought me out but ignoring d CCTV footage, instructed d constables to frame 3 false charges to lock me up again. God sent Dr Wayne Clark from S California to pray for me as my life was totally ruined by America. God's power was imparted to me. I was given a vision similar to Ez 9 and gifted with d 6 weapons/angels/plagues: wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution of release of devils to cause wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911). God told me tt his Hand will fight for me against d USA until compensation paid. I don't own a gun but just simply command (faith). It's not by might, nor by power but by d Spirit of God. USA fulfilled d prophecy of Obadiah a d God fulfills d prophecy of Psalms 18 to make me into David to turn d USA into dust. God is d supreme race. Not America.
So sad, allot of work ahead. Thanks for sharing, you showed how bad things really are compared to the ignorant news media.
Reminds me of what happens in Japan's villages. The rebuilding is going to have to include new everything. I hope people have found their pets. Can't imagine this, TY Reed for showing this to us. All of those cars and policies. My head is spinning. Also reminds me of what happens in VT and NH often when it rains up there as well.
Ahhhh =( When I was six a tornado came down the road and hit our neighbour's barn and the next day our outdoor cat was gone. We thought the worst, obviously, but she reappeared smiling and pregnant almost a year later! So I hope people don't give up too soon! Their pets have great instincts to survive natural disasters and could just be scared and hiding for awhile.
I keep thinking how many of those folks don't have overpriced flood insurance. Me thinks the only people rebuilding are the wealthy. Sigh
Sure, rebuild in the same flood plain that wiped you out in the first place. Brillante.

Reed, this is my home area in the beginning of the video. My mom and dad have lost their house and so did my aunt. I don't live there now but was there before the water went down stayed until 8/7/22. Hope to never see anything like this again, so many people lost everything.
I'm so sorry, all over the world 🌍
Wow! Praying for these people
Wow what a mess. That's going to take time to clean up I hope everybody's okay and their pets
Well, everybody’s not OK. There’s been many deaths.
Thankyou for bringing this video to light,,,most people do not even know that this happened, MSM lacks in coverage of this terrible event,,,stay safe out as you cover this story,,,,,again thanks again.
Reed, thank you for the amazing and heartbreaking footage. As always, your camera work give a clear picture of the power of nature.
Even during the incomparable Japanese Tsunami of 2011 I never saw the bolts that held together rolled steel girders all sheared off like on that bridge steelwork!
Literally every bolt had sheared, completely separating that immensely strong connection designed to last independently!
That small bridge was subjected to a truly remarkable degree of force, which was probably intensified by a build up of debris from the preceeding debris field.
Once that had built up around the bridge structure it intensified the force of the water striking the bridge, causing the catastrophic failure.
Good on you for ferrying in potable water and other supplies, that is very considerate of you.
Whilst this natural event may only be expected once in a blue moon, it would not surprise me if they were repeated every few years.
Dang. This >REALLY< puts matters into perspective! Far better than the news channels. I witnessed/was in a 100-year flood many years ago, but houses weren't swept off their foundations that I recall. This is horrific! Those poor people. 😭
I'm at a loss for words my heart goes out to everyone here this kind of helps put things in perspective it could happen anywhere to see these people loose every thing and all of the lives lost is heart breaking but it really hits when it happens only a couple of county's from your home God bless you all our prayers are with you 🙏

Thanks for the video Reed. Unbelievable devastation. I hope these people get the help they need. I wonder if FEMA and the Red Cross are there yet.
i live up in garrard county the mountains are my favorite place to visit never have come across a mean person everybody is just the nicest people in the world down there. I had to go and do what i could even if that was just taking some water and helping to hand it out over 2 days. Killed 2 of my own cars doing it and i have very little money so if i can do that anybody can because they need all the help and supplies they can get.
What a mess. I've seen hurricanes do less damage. Thanks for the update Reed. Stay safe out there.
How could anyone, you, laugh whilst surveying and filming such devastation, you people must not be human!
Keep your faith and all of us outside are praying for you. Lots of love.
Wow, the awesome power of human's debris. Prayers.
MY HEART BRAKES FOR YOU PEOPLE.
THIS DISASTER HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH HEART ACHE.
GOD BLESS
Lee County had its worst flood less than a year before this flood. I’m thankful my kin folk were safe. Another one of my kin folk was in Paducah when disaster struck. Climate change is undeniable. It’s only going to get worse with human activity unless change is made. I wish many blessings for those who lost everything but moved on to rescue others despite the dangers involved. I hope everybody will someday have a place to call their own.
I spoke with Chris Hall re: donation. Wonderful teamwork happening!
Just read about the four precious siblings who were swept away out of their parents arms
Noooooooo....! Oh god.
We had one of those floods in 2013 a one in 1000 year flood if it happened not more than seven or eight years ago how is it a 1 in 1,000 year flood
It’s most likely a 1 in 100 year
Good morning everyone
Tragic, prayers for all those affected
I cannot imagine, how scary this must have been for all those that experienced this devastation ..Prayers to these families..🙏
This is horrible. Thankyou for the link to donate. I went to the Red Cross website and there wasn't an option to specify donations to KY. ✌️❤️
If I were Rich I sure would Help the People of this small town, this truly breaks my heart.
Wow you guys my heart goes out to you I wish I was there to help remember to be safe it sounds easy blessings for all
This video should be required viewing for all civil engineers. You can clearly see the difference between an obsolete design shown earlier washed away and an updated design shown later still intact. Still the devastation is enormous.
Areas like this should be off-limits for building. The name of the creek that flooded is called Troublesome Creek. Well named.
I'm from Colorado. The local Indians told us not to build in certain places. They knew. 100 years later, people lost their lives.
😶 This is one of those situations where I don't know what can even be said. This is beyond wow, beyond so sorry, beyond most of the words and phrases we have in the English language when it comes to horrific things like this. So with that, I will say one thing... We need to stop changing the landscape so much.
Yes, we do, and we need to plant more trees and shrubs!
@@deirdrepasko9965 I used to work for a city in the storm water management department. People do not realize how much of the natural landscape, is designed to have some sort of control where it puts what. The more of that we tear down for roads, malls, houses, etc, you are changing the design, but not the behavior.
Wow that Harley just sitting there like a steel horse survived like a boss
That is pretty incredible. That motorcycle look like it hardly took any damage
Holy....speechless. this must be an early survey how does one begin to look and they are still looking for survivors ..It looks like so much infrastructure must be lost. We've seen plenty of disasters but this is really heart wrenching. God and mankind help you there. Still supporting tornado damage but this need is so immediate for shelter water and food. God protect you.
