Brings me to tears almost I'm English and toured/ stayed there,with my American lady),June 2022( Bryson City was our base. We absolutely loved it there. I was drawn there from England by the Great Smoky Mountain Railroad. Everyone made us so welcome. I wish you guys to stay safe and stay healthy. American power can rebuild. I would suggest the marines bring in some hovercraft. Its the perfect craft for these dreadful conditions. God bless America.
In the summer of 2023 Vermont was hit by a 10 inch rain storm, which may not sound like much. The issue was it had been raining hard on and off for two months. It then rained another seven or so inches. The state capital was flooded along with many of its small towns. Farmers lost all their crops. A year later a similar storm on the same exact day damaged the state again. The days of 1,000 year storms are over. I am sorry for all of your losses. So many lives lost and so many peoples lives changed forever. Take care
Im In WNC, this area. The worse part is, they saying only about 1% of homes will get insurance money. They saying everything is “flood” related. Because nobody had flood insurance. Landslide, everything. I guarantee ya they be raising our rates, more than they always do, just like Florida.
@billmyer2990 This is what concerns me. When Katrina happened. Many left to go to other states to be with family, or to find affordable housing. Lack of places to be able to stay. Very concerning since we had a housing crisis before this. Now , they did do the FEma trailers in N.O. I don’t know if they will here. The terrain is different.

The first mountain s I ever saw was the Smokey mountains.t The first place I stayed in 1974 was An A framed cabin in Maggie Valley. I Moved to Salisbury NC for 8 years. We always took every one to the mountains. My heart is broken when I see the devastation Helene caused.
That is the most beautiful part of the mountains to me. I have many happy memories of times spent there. Natures power is sometimes terrifying. I send love to the peoples affected. Better days ahead.
Great documentation...I didn't know that the flooding was that extensive that far to the west. Does anyone know the status of the Nantahala River rafting areas and highways?
Very interesting recording. Couldn't believe there was a 40's Street Rod getting covered n flood water that looked easily removable. It'd b more informative if u included the names of rivers, streams, creeks u were filming.
What a beautiful part of our country that I been to several times on our vacations from the New Orleans area. For Hurricane Katrina it was neglect of our levees by the National Corp of Engineers where a major city was 80% flooded. However, it was in a contained area. This disaster is spread over several states & has effected pockets of small towns. Don't expect FEMA to help these poor people who probably have no Flood Insurance.
Been concerned about the Rez...........Are there any reports concerning damage if any. Pray that they didn't receive the Hellish Helene like other counties did.
Thanks! If we knew the storm was going to lead to us being trapped for a few days we may have driven a more reliable vehicle but it did perfect the whole time.
Anyone living in the western NC mountains should have been aware of the 1916 storms/flood. This kind of flooding happens in the mountains and it will continue to happen.
@@steveokula5762 I don’t remember hearing anyone talk about it. I have read about it and seen pictures of the destruction multiple times, especially since the internet. I thought most people in the mountains would be aware of that flood.
Thanks for the info and that’s true, and I may still be wrong on the dates but I put them as they moved through western nc. I could still totally be wrong, thanks for watching!
Imagine uma bica dessa vazão numa mineração desmanchando uma montanha em algumas horas . E separando a lama da areia e do cascalho . E fazendo reservatorios colossais de materiais de construção selecionados . Para serem usados nas obras das novas cidades . E isso que vcs precisam fazer. A GTS vai servir para isso. As obras vão usar todas jazidas desses materiais . E não vão ficar catando montinho e beirolas de areias ou saibro. Vai ter chuva forte para separar os agregados da construção. E os materiais para as novas cidades . Vai arrebentar tudo . É isso. A GTS é pra fazer isso. Preparativos para as futuras obras na Terra.
@@JunkTrucks, I hear you, but once the water was clearly rising in those parking lots with people staying in hotels or motels, it was time to make the call to get them out of there. I would've pulled up with school buses and taken them to higher-ground schools.
This is outrageous. Americans have the right to the second amendment for a reason. Maybe FEMA should be forced to leave the area when you look at how much damage they are allowing to happen.
Your god has nothing to,do with this. Just natural processes. Some try to,understand and adapt, others look to some intangible parent force to explain reality.
This happened under Biden-Harris Administration... What did Democrats do for you? Nothing but the same old crap everyday. What did Harris say when you seen her? Nothing she cared so much she never came there but Trump did two days after this happened.

I’m in Cavendish Vt, along the Black river, 07/10/23, I had 15 feet of water in my yard.
MANY LOST EVERYTHING,MY NIECE IS BACK IN OHIO FROM DOWN THERE LOST EVERYTHING WILL NOT RETURN,HUSBAND STAYED FOR A WHILE STILL THERE

Excellent account of what happened. What devastation.
The first mountain s I ever saw was the Smokey mountains.t The first place I stayed in 1974 was An A framed cabin in Maggie Valley. I Moved to Salisbury NC for 8 years. We always took every one to the mountains. My heart is broken when I see the devastation Helene caused.
I've stayed in every one of those motels at one time or another this first ive seen of Maggie valley looks better than some areas i guess
You are at my happy places I loved camping right on river so fkn peaceful and Cherokee
That is the most beautiful part of the mountains to me. I have many happy memories of times spent there. Natures power is sometimes terrifying. I send love to the peoples affected. Better days ahead.
At Cherokee casino they had a creek that ran right under the walkway going to the casino. Wonder how they faired during this hurricane?
I heard it washed Chief Tomahawk away. 🤣😁
Great footage, thank you! Devastating to see stomping grounds under water (Cherokee/Bryson)😢
Great documentation...I didn't know that the flooding was that extensive that far to the west. Does anyone know the status of the Nantahala River rafting areas and highways?
Very interesting recording. Couldn't believe there was a 40's Street Rod getting covered n flood water that looked easily removable.
It'd b more informative if u included the names of rivers, streams, creeks u were filming.
First, I am sorry! One of the best overall videos I have seen. Great coverage. Love ypur truck!
All kinds of things can be said, but I will just say,,,, Nice Truck!!!!!
What a beautiful part of our country that I been to several times on our vacations from the New Orleans area.

I was wondering about Bryson City, neighbor's was wiped out, all my prayers go out to everyone affected by this storm
Been concerned about the Rez...........Are there any reports concerning damage if any. Pray that they didn't receive the Hellish Helene like other counties did.
From what we saw they didn’t get hit to hard, we was there the day of since it was the only place with restaurants and gas stations open.
That was one angry river ! 😢
My first truck was a brown 1981 Chevy! 👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I see ' Maggie Valley ' . . I'm thinking Raymond Fairchild and The Crowe Brothers. Avid Bluegrasser here.
the water disappeared after a day or so, but sure left behind a lot of damage! these places were the least hard hit. to the east......😢
Great video!
Was there much damage going over the mountain from Maggie Valley to Cherokee?
The road was shut down overnight due to trees down and power lines down but they had it reopened the next day when we was there.
I love the old square body Chevy
Thanks! If we knew the storm was going to lead to us being trapped for a few days we may have driven a more reliable vehicle but it did perfect the whole time.
What took a lifetime for many of these people to make there home took only hrs to lose so sad
Did it get to the Wheels Through Time Museum?
I believe that they posted on their Facebook they were unharmed
Oh, so you mean this was the beginning of the storm?? So I’m wondering how much of what you’re showing us is gone 😢
I knew there was more to it then just the storm Helene
@3:27 is the best sound effect I’ve heard in a whole. “Squiiiiiiish”
Great footage, next time grab a tissue and tape it around the mouth piece of the phone to block the wind.
Anyone living in the western NC mountains should have been aware of the 1916 storms/flood. This kind of flooding happens in the mountains and it will continue to happen.
I lived in Hendersonville/Brevard for 6 years in the '80's. I never heard anyone talk about the floods of 1916.
@@steveokula5762 I don’t remember hearing anyone talk about it. I have read about it and seen pictures of the destruction multiple times, especially since the internet. I thought most people in the mountains would be aware of that flood.
So what if they were? Should they just not live there or what?
1916 and 1929
Confused about what you were saying. Nobody alive now would remember 1916 are you saying houses shouldn’t be built in this area?
Just wanted to let you know you have the day and dates mixed up at the beginning. Hurricane arrived on Friday September 27. Thanks for the video!
It had already been raining and the rivers were already riding before Helene entered.
Thanks for the info and that’s true, and I may still be wrong on the dates but I put them as they moved through western nc. I could still totally be wrong, thanks for watching!
@@JunkTrucksYes it had been raining days before but it hit on the 27th.
The car at the end was an attempt to drive thru flood waters deeper than it could handle. He hydro-locked the engine.
This why I never camp near a river or creek - flooding. It could rain miles away and still flood down river.
Alot of people don't understand that in the mnts when it rains it takes a day or 2 before water comes down mnt
Always bad when you get 5 months of rain in 3 days
How did you escape ? Nobody could have predicted what happened. An apocalypse basically.
We waited for roads to reopen and detours to be put in place. It took double the amount of time to leave than it usually would.
Stay safe!!
Thanks isac
That road in the video running alongside the river could well be under several feet of water in a future hurricane with massive rainfall and flooding.
I had wondered about the MV area
Anyone heard if the wheels through time motorcycle museum made it?
Yes, it did.
I believe they were unharmed
any more when you see water like this ...get the F--- OUT!

Are you thanking some imaginary god for this happening?
Wow mightier Mississippi River in Carolina
At what point did "local leaders" tell people to evacuate and get out there?!
Nobody expected western nc to get hit this hard

Looks like it is still flooding in North Carolina to me Raymond Paul Sullivan III me myself and I and him RPS 111 time to move on
I read somewhere that duke energy let a dam go.
Lots of people are in complete disbelief that this is what we've been warned about for decades--climate change, exacerbated by our carbon emissions.
I heard that too
God is making America great again giving the land back
Your god has nothing to,do with this. Just natural processes. Some try to,understand and adapt, others look to some intangible parent force to explain reality.
trumps lies have hurt us so in NC
That is not true. Did you get your $750??
Biden and Harris administration has hurt the USA more!
This happened under Biden-Harris Administration... What did Democrats do for you? Nothing but the same old crap everyday. What did Harris say when you seen her? Nothing she cared so much she never came there but Trump did two days after this happened.
The Democrats shutdown the coal mines!!
What does that have to do with this video? That’s also B.S.
Making room for the Migrants
At least get the ski areas open. Come on.
Great video!
