Swannanoa was a beautiful area. I lived in Black Mountain and worked in Swannanoa back in the mid 80's. I loved going to Lake Tomahawk there in Black Mountain a beautiful peaceful place. I pray for everyone there.
My grandparents owned a home in Swannanoa and I would spend my summers there from the 80's until 2000 when my grandma moved. I have the fondest memories. Going to the Swannanoa library, church, swimming at Warren Wilson and Montreat. I even went to sleep away camp at The Cove for a few summers. 10 years ago in 2014 my husband and I did a road trip and visited and I got to show him what I experienced growing up. So very sad that this has happened. There are no words to truly convey how devastating this is.
A lady was on radio this morning needing help there. Broke my heart to hear what she was saying. She said, dead bodies all along the river since Friday. Some people barely hanging on. Please please help them as soon as possible. Rutherford county NC hit hard also. The devastation helene left is horrible. Prayers and help needed all across western NC. We don't have power are water were I am but we are ok.
Up in the mountain right above Swannanoa and Beetree church is an old 1980's EPA Superfund site that was Chemtronics, a Haliburton chemical warfare factory from the Vietnam era. There are huge pits of liquid chemical waste capped off up there.
If you need water your pipes in your home may have water as well as your hot water tank. Go in your basement or to the lowest faucet in your home. Get a container. Your hot water tank also has water in it. There is a bottom drain valve you can acess water from. Rain water can also be caught with scarfs.
@@jahmanborneo1343 Just wondering... do you attend any certain church? Whenever some school kids get killed in their grade school by some other kid with a gun the governor always asks everyone to "pray for the kids and their families." I always wonder what that will do.
This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles. I am a TH-camr under my Full-Name with the same profile picture as this post with 47 videos covering 27 different category topic subjects sharing my personal knowledge and experiences with others to help others improve their overall adult lives. I've got videos on building yourself a high quality 24-72 Hour Survival Bug Out Bags, Home and Vehicle Preparedness and Readiness advice videos, several Financial Literacy advice videos, a dozen Cooking Creation Recipes videos, and more! That flooded area should also consider looking into Aqua Dams and Dam Easy door barriers products.
It will take the Experts some time to add all the damage up and compare that to other Historic Floods. I am sure that this Hurricane and the wide spread damage across several states will go down as one of the worst in US History. It will take years to rebuild all the roads, bridges not even counting the thousands of Homes and all the other structures that make up a Town or City that got destroyed. There are not enough Contractors to even begin to help people rebuild. The process of an Insurance Claim and the long road to re- build will tie people up for several years. There are hardly words to describe the totality of this destruction.
As for the bridges, the military can place the highly moveable bridges that it uses in warfare. That will be highly useful. What's harder is finding a way to shore up mountains that are sliding down hill ON bridges.
I’m currently looking for my friend Andrew Ebner! he also lives in Black Mountain and we haven’t heard anything since the hurricane! please help with any information if you can 🙏🏾💕
If u are local get out there and help. Take initiative go and help them. In the military no one goes without help. Now if you are local go and help them.
Can’t understand why a person running for office; that is already IN office? Is asking for donations? While AMERICANS NEED HELP after a natural disaster
Donate to The Baptist Men. They are usually first to floods and they are highly skilled. And, they are honest. Not a cent is wasted. Contact your local First Baptist Church and ask for the particulars of donating. I've seen them in action and they are amazing.
@@erikolsen1333 The easiest choice was to build on the lowest flattest ground, it is also the easiest path for large amounts of water. Building on the higher ground is now the only real choice left. Stick homes is not the answer either. Insanity is repeating what was done an expecting different results. If I were going to live there the higher parts of the hills would be my housing area, and the lower parts for gardens and livestock. The Americans do everything backwards. building on farm land instead of hill tops.
I am very sorry for what happened but I cannot forget about all the old people that used to live on betrayed that had their homes taken from them in a very bad way in the old ones always said that nature would take it back when you stop the water from flowing eventually the water will take it back
i guess using drones to place temp cell phone reeater/towers is out of the question. or driving in a mobile unit to erect cell tower to provide limited service in nearby areas, deploy many

Settle down!! This is a 3 minute video why would you expect to see the NG, FEMA and everyone else here?? This devastation is widespread and it will take authorities to get to these places.
The sense of urgency is goddamn pathetic, getting the power on and cell service and water and food, we live in a era where this shit should never be an issue. Humanity is failing.
@@Tolbat Listen the language of Jesus is Aramaic , god name in Aramaic is Allah. Look it up buddy. Christian Arabs call God Allah. Allah name of God in my language. Allah is your God and my God. You are just not educated on subject. May Allah help the people of floods. Peace and Allah bless you.
It’s not bib😅, it’s man made and it’s climate change . You can make fun of it u til it comes knocking big and hard on your front door… we don’t need just prayers yo7 need real solutions on how to survive a changing planet
True words. Humans are destroying nature, massively changing the climate and what do people do after such a catastrophe? They pray. 193 deaths have just been reported in Nepal due to days of heavy rain and the resulting landslides. Climate change affects all regions of the world and what helps the least are prayers.
Some irony in praying to God, when the US and the other rich nations are destroying his beautiful planet. You are now getting a taste of what is also threatening the lives and countries of those who have played no part in its destruction. I wonder how many of the victims will still deny who has caused their tragedy and still vote for the greedy conman who’s out to make it worse.
@@cherylbastow1379 Darling, I'm German and we had massive flooding in several federal states in June. Today, the damage in that month alone was estimated at 4.1 billion. There was flooding in central Europe this month, affecting around 2 million people. Tens of thousands have been evacuated and at least 28 have died. Italy, Austria, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary were affected. You can read something like this every week now, it's climate change. Do you think you could comfort them with prayers?
And not one word about climate change, from the media nor in the comments. Prepare for more of these "once-in-a-lifetime" events that "no one can predict."
Not in this video, but in many other videos climate change is mentioned and a lot of commenters are making the connections between this storm that has caused such widespread devastation and climate change.
@@amberreed4443 personally I say they should fend for themselves. They want to elect extremist like Desantis and Trump then let them pay for their own rebuild. I’m tired of Blue states having to finance Texas and Florida everytime Mother Nature gives them their karma

My mom lived there about the time my sisters were born. She always spoke of it fondly.
Sound like a close community. So sorry for this devastation. Stick together. There will be more help on the way.

Some people say that God always comes through.
Jesus help us all
I wonder what it looked like when the flooding was occurring, would’ve been horrific to witness.
Ask victims if they are covered by any insurance at all?
Every town and every house were built in flood zones
The mere fakeness coming from this reporter's mouth is hilarious. 😂😂
Which one? They're both hideous.
My prayers and I ask god give you all and first responders comfort during this very difficult times in his almighty name Jesus Christ Amen ❤❤❤
