My son has been out for the last week rescuing those he could. This last few days… not so good. Prayers to all of you who,lost loved ones💔🙏
Going to be a lot of PTSD in the coming months among these folks. Sure hope they get the help they need.
I have resources for those who need them.
@@maevependragonProbably should head in to find survivors in need- FEMA and local would love you as they’re over burdened and under resourced.
I live maybe 10 minutes from there...I said this days ago(I have a BA's in Psychology and Sociology, and mental health is on my mind in these situations) My mom said that it's sad so many won't take it...they'll just bottle it up.
Doubtful the Military, those that served their country dont even get help they need.
After all these years, my son still has PTSD from the College Park, Maryland tornado. He was just a little kid in after school care when the tornado tore through the courtyard of his elementary school. PTSD is real! I certainly hope that in the future, they can get a lot of mental health groups together for these people to 'decompress' from all they've been through.
May the Lord’s fullest blessings pour out to those who are helping the needs of the communities affected.
Where was this lord to stop the storm?
Is that the same Lord many of Tennessee's politicians blamed other storms that hit America, saying it was God's wrath on evil? I have to tell you, I'm struggling with empathy for many of these people since I am from East Tennessee and know what's in their hearts. It's not the Lord's love of all men....Had this storm decimated New York or California, many of them would be celebrating.
Prayers for all involved. It is just heartbreaking!
I'm so glad the kids are safe. Im in Watauga and have a lot of people I care about in Avery. It's just heartbreaking. 😢
Thank You for covering this.
I am in Maine, praying for you all. It’s a heartbreaking situation. Can’t do much to help, but my prayers are strong!💔🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don’t forget all the volunteers who are helping with the rescue.
Ms Kanady is a sweet woman, good reporting.
Praying.
Such a sad, sad tragedy. My heart goes out to all affected.
We're in Texas, praying for ya'll. Sending loving condolences 🙏
Why is the death rate siad to be 200. The city of Asheville nc has asked for a 1000 body bags
Oh that's because they're blocking water and food deliveries.
They are expecting people to die from their lack of response.
no truth on the internet please.
Close to 2000 missing
They ordered 50,000 body bags after 9/11 happened.
Most are still at the bottoms of those rivers.
Urm...Cannon Memorial Hospital is in Linville, NC...I have cousins in Linville. I live in Banner Elk. These towns are very close to one another, less than 5 minutes in some cases, so it is easy to get things mixed up. It's too bad they couldn't talk about the three confirmed dead...that is a real tragedy...on the other hand, the loved ones of the dead don't need the reminder. The Sheriff is right, we have a lot to be proud of and we WILL get through it.
If you look at the mailing address Cannon is in Newland officially. 434 Hospital Dr., Newland, NC 28657
@@annagoodwin8651 Makes ya wonder what the hospital has been dumping in that pit beside it. Huge "lake/pond" that looks like boxes and everything dumped in it.
I’m in Lenoir North Carolina and it’s bad but we got so lucky and blessed truly
Good news is no shortage of volunteer search/rescue citizens to help. Several even have private helis. That should help load bearing burden on you guys and FEMA. Resources are tight these days. Americans helping Americans in crisis are what makes America great.
Unfortunately, the FAA has asked at least one group of private pilots to throttle their airdrops, Carolina Aviators Network. They've dropped 10s of 1000s of pounds of supplies out of the Statesville airport but posted today on their Facebook page, Hurricane Helene Airlift Relief, that they're having to change some of it to ground assets because the FAA says airborne sightseers are clogging the airspace 🤦 Why in the world a nonprofit dropping lifesaving supplies can't get special clearance is absolutely beyond me. Throttle the frickin sightseers, not the nonprofits!!
Totally agree… I see people like Sheriff Mike and Ms. Alisha helping the community out of love, and I can’t help but think, THIS is what makes America so great. We have to take care of one another. ❤
I have a relative@ 5330 hwy 19E in Cranberry. House across from Tucker Hollow Rd. Can't get anyone in Avery County or Newland to return my calls for a well check. I live in Fl.
They evacuated both state prisons that reside "above" the north Toe river. Those prisons are way higher up than those houses.
I hope you find your loved one. Prayers.
@janetprice85 Thank you for caring.
Sending prayers 😢
Just like a war zone 😢😢😢
Would those 'welfare' checks be the poultry $750.00 ones. ?
What mockery..!
poultry ? Poultry is chickens. What illiteracy. Quit trying to game the system like trump is doing. He hasn't donated a single penny.
@@tommytomtom5531 Go build in the creek.
Give the illegals 750 and us citizens 6000.
@@kramnull8962 Go play in the freeway.
People like Alisha and Mike are exactly the type of people who you’d want to have by your side after such tragedy… they pull the community back together and spread love and compassion in the midst of such pain… you guys are so important, and I can tell you all really love your community and everyone in it, and that you truly care. We need more people like you two. Praying for you all ❤ and sending all of my love. ❤ Please take time to take care of yourselves. I know it’s not easy.
We the people need to step up & get this current administration out of office! FEMA needs to be dissolved immediately. They are not coming to help these poor people. I am outraged at the current government response to this terrible tragedy
Most hospitals only have a few places to keep bodies so almost ALL emergencies would overrun the morgue.
🙏🙏🙏
🙏 🏞. Prayers, neighbors 🏞 🙏
" Bring out your dead." Have to be old to get the line!

Sundown town forsureeee
Ashville and surrounding towns have given reparations. What does that tell ya....
@@kramnull8962 they’re still hanngginn folks and making it seem ‘accidental’, money ain’t a thing if the morals ain’t there.

❤❤❤ very sad and Washington does NOTHING!
Um, the National Guard was here by Friday, with high water vehicles, and equipment. More than 1,000 troops, including Marines, were deployed from Ft. Liberty 2 days ago. Where do you think those orders come from? 🇺🇲
Not true but you keep believing conspiracies.
@joannethomas3609, Don't feed misinformation. The federal government has coordinated, and continues to coordinate, massive relief efforts, and reallocate funds for you because your lives are important.
Multiple conservative legislators from states in the path of Helene (Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and Tennessee) all voted NO on numerous forms of disaster relief, including FEMA. The result is that resources and infrastructure have to be scrambled and funds pulled out of other budgets after major disasters. Don't hedge your bets and assume it won't happen to you. Contact your elected representatives and tell them they must always prioritize your safety and security with robust disaster relief bills.
Nobody sees those 1000
@@Itsallillusionalthe paltry, disgusting offer of $750 does come from the Feds. Not to mention the EXTREMELY slow response. We love our National Guards; this is about the Biden admin. Army not releasing people to go help their families...sickening.
