    I hate it when a person opens up to a personal crisis and the response is that the other person has it worse. "Well, my boo-boo's bigger." Having lived in 3 different climates in the United States, I know that soil in various parts of the nation handle water (Florida's sand) is a whole lot better than clay in Ohio. We can't focus on who has it worse, but to focus on an individual's crisis and true need. I ferreted out local TV stations up through where the storm has struck and my heart grieves! It's bad! Yes, our Florida coast was slammed hard and I feel for that for sure. Yet seeing people sitting in a school shelter having lost everything they had and they have 7 children, how do I do comparisons? Listen to Patara about prepping for these events because she's correct. Bad news is that I'm hearing rumblings that another is forming down in the Caribbean just like Helene did. PRAY PEOPLE!

Do you pump it? etc..... I have been through multiple hurricanes so I now what you are going through

    Hi Patara. When you mentioned being accused of making stuff up, my immediate thought was "Why?" Why would you & why would someone think that? BUT, I remembered the old saying "Better to remain silent & appear a fool than to speak & confirm it.". That person just confirmed it. So hateful.

    Reporting in from upper East Tennessee, the floods here have devastated many of the homes up here. Many businesses have been affected.
    My husband lost his car in the flood when he was trying to evacuate from work yesterday in Erwin, TN. I had to go and rescue him. Peoples homes are literally floating down the road in various locations.
    My brothers and sisters in Christ, we could all use prayers. The devastation is horrendous.
    I actually work, driving a truck out of Newport Tennessee through the gorge on I40 into North Carolina on to South Carolina and I have no idea when I will be able to go back to work. I have no idea when my husband will be able to go back to work.
    We attempted today to go over to my husbands work location in Erwin, Tennessee. We were made to turn around because my husband‘s car is in a location that is covered in over 3 feet of mud right now and there is no access according to law enforcement.

    I agree with you. I try to do as much housework as possible before a storm. Top off pets water, do dishes and laundry and top off my DIY berkey. In Michigan weather can change in the blink of an eye. Even had blue sky 80 degree days and within an hour it’s down pours hail tornado warnings and a drop to 65 degrees and no power so very important to prepare. My next big purchase is a whole house standby generator system that ties into my gas lines. It’s on average a $10,000-15,000 set up so yes it’s tough to always be prepared. I will probably have a simple pump and wood stove insert installed before the generator but I want as many options as possible.

    Check with your insurance about your roof. An adjuster inspecting it may get y some $$$ off from the storm. We had an inspection of our house roof last year and they found hail damage from a year ago; then they went over and inspected out barn roof and found more. Added $7000 for the barn roof. We were stunned. Well worth having an inspection. Blessings from Kansas.

    I can’t help but think weather warfare. A month out from the election right in some of the reddest areas in the country. I lived in Florida for over 30 years. I’ve seen a lot of hurricanes. I’ve never seen one strengthen this fast that’s this large. Usually the really big ones don’t become CAT4. I’m thankful we here in Greenback TN have had a drought all summer. Made it easier to handle all this rain we’ve gotten. God, please deliver us from the evil in our country. Bless those affected by this devastation

    As a Floridian, my heart breaks for the people of TN & NC. We happened to be coming up to the TN/KY area for a preplanned vacation during this time. We left FL on Wed night and made it to Chattanooga on Thursday morning. Thank God we left when we did. Our home and family are alright as far as I know, but I have several friends and co-workers that have lost their homes. When I started seeing the news out of Asheville and NE TN all I could do was pray for those that are caught in this mess. Patara, thank you for the update. I'm glad that you and your family are safe. There is another storm system brewing down in the Caribbean that we're praying doesn't become a Helene 2.0. Keep an eye on it..the southeast can't handle another storm.

    NOTHING like Helene has ever happened in Northeast TN! Most people were not prepared for a disaster of this magnitude. I-26 connecting Erwin/Johnson City TN to Asheville, NC is totally washed away, both directions. And I-40 connecting Newport/Knoxville TN to NC has one lane washed away. This will be devastating to this area for years to come. National Guard and VA state police had to evacuate over 50 patients and healthcare workers from the top of the Unicoi County/Erwin hospital, it was so heartbreaking to see them with their IV poles in the rescue boats. The hospital was totally flooded as well as EMS vehicles. The hospital in Greeneville TN suspended operations and is evacuating all patients right now due to system wide phone issues. Greeneville/Greene County only has 24 hours of water left in their reservoirs. Nolichucky river had the water intake plant underwater and damaged the the building and the pump systems. Mayor is asking all car washes, restaurants, laundromats to please close their businesses to conserve water. Schools have already been closed for the next week. Clean water in high demand. Downtown Newport is completely flooded. Unicoi, Greene, and Cocke counties are major disaster zones. Please pray for them!

    What's really strange is that hurricanes formed in the coast of Africa and would cross the Caribbean past cuba etc and would only touch miami or the keys in lower Florida. 🤔 now suddenly supposedly because of global warming. The hotter the atlantic and gulf area the more Hurricanes and the higher the category. I've been thru a few big hurricanes. They used to go up to category 2 or 3. Now they're going to category 4 and 5 which is very strong. Also now that china and rusdia are involved in cuba again with a Chinese base allegedly there those hurricanes are suddenly turning upwards across Florida or Louisiana etc. Going to to the north. Could it be engineered weather by the left or commies to destroy the country, empoverish the people? Make them se their farms to the communists who've been buying american farms and your farm animals?

    One big lesson learned from this is keep cash on hand! We are 20-30 minutes from the flood zones but our groceries stores/gas stations have no internet service so they cannot accept credit/debit cards. Some are taking checks but some are cash only. I’ve been surprised and the people who are freaking out because they don’t have a check to use or any cash just to buy groceries. Be prepared folks. This is what can happen very quickly.

    Gas (for generators) is imperative. We were blessed to be without power & water for less than 10 hours. Sixty thousand will be without for 5 days or longer.

    I have been very concerned about your and your family and farm Patara as I know you live somewhere in East Tennessee. It just made me sick to hear about all of the flooding and devastation in Tennesesee and Western North Carolina. Boone, NC, which has seen flooding is one of my favorite places in the world. I attended school at Appalachian State University and just love the area. I had friends living in Asheville. The photos are just devastating of the area. I will keep everyone in all of these states in my prayers. Kentucky was hit, but no flash flooding. Trees down along with power lines, but no-one injured. Take care.
