    It will rebuild. It may take years, but it will happen. I lived through Katrina on the Mississippi gulf coast. For months afterwards, I would look around and think, "How can this place ever be rebuilt to what it used to be?" Well, 19 years later, it is rebuilt, different in many ways, but still rebuilt. It just takes time. A whole lot of time.

    I wish I could do more to help. After black mold poisoning in Virginia, I lost everything, including my health. I was forced to leave everything behind and faced homelessness, leading to some truly difficult situations and unhealthy environments. It took two long years to finally secure my own apartment. Even now, I’m still hurting - dealing with sickness, disability, financial hardship, and mostly confined to bed and couch. If I were in your position, I wouldn't return to a home with mold. You might lose some belongings, but preserving your health is far more important than risking illness from black mold.

    Thank you so very much for this video. It is so wonderful to see how Americans have come to help North Carolina. It was marvelous how the devastated locals helped each other; then outsiders came to help. This is so overwhelming. I’m a retired American in Bolivia. I have nothing, I rent an apartment for $100 a month. But I have personally observed how earthquakes destroyed an entire town in Peru. Yes, water was sent in afterwards, but still the entire destroyed town had to rebuild everything all on their own. It is so heartwarming to see Americans helping Americans. It will take a long time.

    • @IMSiegfried
      @IMSiegfried หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I'm sorry that you had to experience the earthquake in Peru. Experiencing a natural disaster is traumatizing and like you said, it's overwhelming.
      I can't imagine having to rebuild an entire city, especially wo help.
      I live in Florida and my neighborhood flooded a lot during Helene. I got lucky during Milton but I was very worried before it happened that I wouldn't be ok because I live exactly where Milton went.
      Last night I went to a restaurant for takeout for the first time since both hurricanes and it was a really big deal to do something so "normal".
      I believe that everyone around here has PTSD and it wouldn't surprise me if your city and you also have PTSD.
      Hope that makes sense.
      Cheers to you from the US. :)

      I’m your neighbor in Hendo. I’m going to be crocheting hats and scarves for the needy to bring some warmth and comfort. Cold weather is coming. If anyone knits or crochets, that would help someone. We just got our main road passable.

    What a revelation, wonderful people, sharing the real story. Huge admiration to Megan for describing. I'm in awe at those who have travelled from near and far, have organised materials and skills. Particularly impressive is the company who brought their resources in to reconstruct the road. This is the resilience, the responsibility which is vital. Government, state, insurance are in it for different reasons. Who delivers when it matters? Thanks Jordan and Desiree for bringing this to your channel. Things are tricky for me but have contributed a little to each.

    Thank you for getting ahead of yourselves and going to Ashville to do this episode. It's nice to see that everyone banded together and are just taking care of it, and accepting the help being given, and just tearing into the work. I've seen several other interviews and places of operation that just jumped in and took on the responsibility of helping the communities, and they aren't from anywhere around. From disaster relief organizations to Green Berets, and seal teams that have set up air drop areas for relief aid, even after being told by Gov reps not to. Gov needs to remember that they work for us, we direct them, and thank you for your support but we live here and know what's needed now. Glad you did this.

    Jordan and Desiree, I have been so worried about where ya’ll were when the storm hit because your last video, you were in that area and I didn’t know time wise when the video was made! I live in the Upstate of SC and we got hit (loss of trees, power and internet) but nothing like the area of NC that you visited. Thank you for using your incredible video skills to make this important video. So cool that ya’ll went to help and met so many people. Even living as close as I do, I was not aware of what was going on there. Thank you for your channel and for filming your amazing life - selfishly hoping you stay somewhere in the Southeast ❤️

    • @janemarlow6198
      @janemarlow6198 หลายเดือนก่อน

      why would a sailing channel mention NC Hurricane Helene when they have nothing to do with it! So you are implying that people in other Sailing You Tube channels are not real? Project Atticus just so happened to be in the area. Do you actually think a sailing channel currently outside the USA would stop what they are doing to report on this, fly to NC and make a video? While devastating, people do have various priorities such as getting their yacht off a reef, which could be equally devastating, and they were focused on their yacht (HOME) not a hurricane on the other side of the planet. And yes the video was well done, and I follow various sailing channels

I will be donating to Hurricane Helene WNC today. Thank you so much for this video and for putting the word out.

    As tragic as these two storms were, it's really brought the best of humanity out. I live in the Tampa Bay area, and I've met neighbors that I'd never met before, all going door to door around the neighborhood asking people if they needed any help. I truly believe we've made God and Jesus so proud in the way we've responded to these trying times. God bless to all that've been so affected by these storms and to all that've been there for so many to help. The response and actions of so many can be such role models to the people of the world, this is what humanity can be, if we all come together and work for each other instead of against one another. 🙏✝

Yes I believe good human nature came out of this disaster but it was there implanted all along with these type of people.. mountain country people are a different type of breed. Great video bringing out awareness and needs of this area , hope and pray they can get situated before winter.

      I agree that in these situations, everyone should pitch in and help that are able to. We're all Americans. Most people are generally like that and not just "mountain folk". They had mountain folk pulling guns on FEMA workers and at each other at the gas station like the lady said.

      ​@isthattrue1083 Sadly fear will do some crazy things also if some one is phycology compromise stress can bring the worse out in them. From talking to a couple in the aria there was a serious fear that looting was going to become. A issue . Overall a horrible situation and I'm glad to see pepole are gathering to help.

      @@freyja4954 doesn't help when a certain someone running for president is lying about FEMA, etc. some of the diehards were turning away help they desperately needed because of it and pulling guns on FEMA workers. Can't be having that in situations like this no matter how scared you are. I'm sure most people are scared, too. Short of lootersb trying to rob you, holding people at gun point makes you the looter.
