This looks like the aftermath of the 2011 Japan tsunami.
Not even close japan Tsunami had way worst damage I mean it wipe thos homes out go look at it and compare the damage
maybe heroshima
The Japanese 2011 tsunami was caused by a 9.0 earthquake. This isn't even close to that, but certainly devastating nonetheless.
@@jmjshowchannel8984 There is no comparison in Japan's fatalities. Well, let's hope not.
Some people in the comment section need to check lost and found. Maybe someone turned in their compassion.
💯 I can’t believe what I am reading in the comments! 🤦♀️
If you ever read the comments for any natural disaster from the state of California hate is all they get. I do have an issue with the South. They support a presidential candidate who says climate change is a hoax. All I keep hearing over the last few years is how “ they have never seen weather like this before” yeah maybe we are the cause. I still feel for the people but they do nothing to change things they only make it worse.
That's the sickness Congress is spreading over America. Desenseatation. and hatred divided by the devil in them ➕
Can't find what they probably never had.
THIS IS DIFFICULT TO WATCH
So sad. I drove the Asheville route from TN daily for my job... this hurts my heart...
My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon at the builtmore 42 years ago and have visited often over the years. We had a trip planned to go there for Christmas this year for our 43rd anniversary. We are so sad this has happened to the people of Ashville and all other people and areas devastated by this hurricane. I pray for no further loss of life and for restoration. God, please help all of these families.
Total destruction, noone expected thismuch devastation. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 for all, including my family and friends.
I am so sorry.
I agree…😢
I agree…😢
Thank you for showing this video. It breaks my heart to see such 😢 devastation. I pray for many and hope many people are found alive within the missing. Stay strong, NC.
Dont be quick to throw lumber away. If u can figure out ways t reuse things that are there then do. Replacing lumber is alot more expensive
Reuse sinks tubs whatever is still usable use it dont throw it to the curb. If u have an inhabitable spot on your property clean it up and live in it until you can do better. Dont rely on rescue to make things back t the way it was.
And then maybe rethink.. Before you build anything else. The amazing thing to me.That someone approved these buildings. Where they were located so close to a river. Did no one ever think the river would flood one day... Or were the tourist dollars just too attractive to pass up.
Noone HAD a flood anything like this before.
Our dear friends from the southern countries… Know how much these leftovers are really worth…
Devastating
Please rescue animals from the shelters here, that are displaced.
Oh myLord, the people of North Western Carolina have and are suffering in Asheville, NC! My heart breaks for all these people that make visiting to the Biltmore Estate an annual theme! Lord, I have never seen that French Broad River, So High in my over 35 years of visiting the Biltmore Estate at least once each year!
Way to make this about you
200,000 migrants let in by our Governor here in NC. NOT ONE out here helping! dead dogs floating mr. biden, and kamala! dead animals and people. and biden was on the BEACH !!! kamala Dancing on the west coast!!
My mom had wanted to visit there with me but it wasn't to be. I'll probably never get there now, I'm old. This will take years to reestablish the infrastructure.
@@Nm-co6zpmany people enjoyed that, improve your reading comprehension.
@@katiekane5247 I was legit there last week on vacation driving on those same roads. Kinda surreal and your right
This is making me cry. 33 years ago, my husband and I had a 2 day honeymoon at the KOA Campground in Asheville. Sending prayers from New Bern.
Though I have never been there my heart goes out to all who are reeling from the devastation.
This slow, methodical video is so chilling. Building by building. So eerie quiet, mud and destruction everywhere.
yeah like where is everybody?
I'm on the coast of NC. NEVER did I imagine the west of this state would look like that. It's unreal.
This will be the largest disaster ever....100 billion plus.😔😔😔😓😓😓😓
But Republican politicians say that it's too expensive to deal with CLIMATE CHANGE.
It’s bad but not the worst (on an inflation adjusted basis)
This is so devastating! It's practically a ghost town!!!🥺 Hope the pet hospital was evacuated!!
What about animal shelters..omg
@@connieboylan9159 😞😞
special thanks to carrie huss at hope mills inc and their go fund me for helping out those in need, even having supplies dropped by private helicopter owners. we need more people like them
Who else LOVES these silent videos without the narcissistic narrators and no music? 💖💖💖💖
Me
Some narration is fine especially if it’s an update of the situation, because it’s hard to find that sort of thing.
I don’t know if “love” is the correct word to use here. I’d rather there be no destruction and no need for such videos. 😢
It almost seems disrespectful to speak in such devastation it seems almost sacrilege. You have to succumb to the sadness and the silence. You don’t want a commentator constantly babbling describing what is already in front of you.
Well, my friends in Asheville, NC, I will send, prayers, Love, and donations to help all my friends from across the ?EasternTennessee, Mtns!
Asheville is a radical hate filled City now.. Google it.. Send your money somewhere else.
God bless you. You have your own hands full. This is going to take an army of volunteers giving their time, treasures, talents. We WILL get it done!!!
i live in Chicago this makes me so sad to watch, reminds me of Katrina aftermath Godspeed southerners
To have heard birds singing was ironic. 😢
If humanity is ever wiped out the birds will be singing the next day.
@@josephastier7421As it should be.
Friday afternoon, the deer were finding their way around the fallen trees on my property.
Birds swooping and enjoying they survived.
It is amazing how resilient they are.
So so sad 😢
Overwhelming, so sad😢
where is the government mobilization. it should be extreme to meet this extreme disaster
(((they))) want the middle class gone.
😢 Where does one even BEGIN the clean-up? So, so terribly heartbroken for everyone...
I fit 4 dogs into my escape along with myself and my essentials...
Currently in contact with each their people, all these good doggies will be reunited in a day or two
I Absolutely Love You 🧡 ThankYou
@Brian2ndAmendment. GOD BLESS YOU! Not many People would of Gave a Damn. Thank you!
THANK YOU
Great job! My friend rescued a dog during the storm here in Georgia. No collar but microchipped and the owner got her. There are good people in this world!
The destruction of this village, reminds me of the one on Maui.
where do you even begin. Of course the loss of life is the tragedy in this situation. But I always think of the loss of Soc Security card, Drivers License, Credit/Debit cards, etc..
Stock up on supplies where ever you live.
dang Moe's Remodel coming soon...I've ate at that Moe's almost every time I go through Asheville.
Please tell me the dog barking at the animal hospital wasn’t still locked in a cage
Please someone take the fur baby to safety!!
The barking is from a dog nearby the building. I Googled AVL Vet and Urgent Care. The website said it was opening in the fall of 2024. It was not open yet. It sounds like the dog is barking from somewhere else to me.
Lost or locked up?
Caged might be safer
Dear God, be with all who are effected by this storm.
Praying for you all
How is the Biltmore Mansion, itself?
I was just wondering the same thing I went on a tour in it with my class back in the late 80's and I loved it there.
Well it says they’re closed through October 3 while damage is being assessed I don’t think the damage was too major or it would be longer than that
Gas leaks should be a grave concern.
I’m sorry but the “Moe’s Remodel coming soon”…… yeah I bet. The demo is already done
I saw that and was thinking it's going to a bigger remodel than expected......
My wife and I tent camped in Saluda, NC in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the hurricane. This hurricane did a curveball away from Atlanta and directly over us. We were boxed in by RV's but hearing the hurricane's fury through the mountains whipping towards us was a frightening experience.Only two tent guylines out of six detached from the ground and we are fortunate not to have been camping near a river or stream.
Bet that's a ride you're not soon to forget. I'm in Dawson county Georgia and we got spared. Have you seen how this storm was steered and manipulated? Short video of the radar activity at Geoengineering Watch on YT.
not to say it wasn't bad but imagin ground zero in florida. I went through hurricane charley down there also frances, gene an Ivan. All in the same month. Charley was complete devastation. I'm glad you guys are ok. The worst part of this storm is going to be mental issues when things settle down. Many years later as a grown man I see this and I know and feel what these people are going through. It's terrible. These folks will need help and some don't even know it yet. Glad your fine and ok your right it could have been so bad for ya'll.
This is heartbreaking. Prayers for everyone involved
This looks like a category 5 hit them directly. No that’s just WATER fast moving high water. Just as devastating as wind everybody…
I went through Ian and thank God we didn’t get our home flooded. The water is the worst of any storm…
Dog barking as cameraman came into Animal Hospital 😢
the animal urgent care clinic was so new that i'm not sure they were seeing any animals yet...noise was probably coming from behind, the water was up to the roof so if anything was inside it didn't survive, flooding started Wednesday night so hopefully they got out of dodge.
Please someone save him
Yeah it couldn’t still be locked in a cage could it?
Won't last much longer. What's the name of the place?
@@ajtierney16I Googled AVL Animal Hospital and Urgent care and the website said opening fall 2024. It probably was not open yet.
My heart aches for all y'all in NC. 💔 Sending love and prayers. I went through the Harvey flood in Houston, and it all sucks so bad. Stay strong. Take care of yourself and eat & sleep. Easy to forget yourself in all that destruction everywhere.
They just remodeled that FedEx place 😢
I’m so sorry🫣
OMG
The entire city was destroyed this looks like a horror movie
I guess no gasoline so no one is working to clean up this horrible mess😢river will have to go down as well. Prayers to everyone
Plus nobody can get into the mess. Almost all roads leading to Asheville are still down. I 26 is open.
This is heart breaking. Praying for these people.
Send 30 thousands army troops or more with equipment and rebuilt as fast as possible!
There is an army of citizen volunteers responding. Join us!!
Sorry but no money for that only money for ukraine apparently as biden and harris just cut another 2 billion dollar check to them
This is no joke,surely not to laugh about it's heartbreaking seeing this mess what people suffer today❤❤❤😂😂😂
This is all within 5 minutes from my home..
I see that your internet and electricity are working. That's great.
@@zonian1966there are roaming cell transmitter trucks
@@zonian1966 False.. day 4 of no electricity and water cellular service is little to none.
OMG 🥹🥹🥹
Is the Biltmore house okay?
I have been wondering the same
The mansion sits on higher terrain & most of the destruction in the village was caused by waters of the overflowing river.
Those tunnels are GONE!
What country is rushing to send us aid??? Yeah, probably nobody. But we could help ourselves if our stupid government stopped sending our tax money everywhere else. We should allow be furious.
Republicans don't want government handouts.
Foreign aid is a tiny fraction of the federal budget. Biden has declared a federal emergency in all the affected states. All the funds necessary for this recovery are available.
💯
Just stop
I bet you complain when we do spend money on our own people too. By the way, we can afford to do all of the above. Did you know that California alone is the 4th largest economy on Earth? We have 49 other states. Yes, we can afford all of the above.
All those folks out of work
Yes! All the jobs lost. And you know they are living pay check to pay check like so many of us.
That’s another thing no one thinks about……thousands out of work now.
I watch this video and all i see is work.
There is going to be nothing but work as we recover.
Wait until the crooked AIPAC politicians tell them theres no help we dont know how we are going to pay for that but send billions to the most crooked country in Europe and the country committing a jen @ s1d3. Just remember this we sent Ukraine a pallet of cash $15 billions CASH to pay for all government workers salaries their healthcare and pensions this is a FACT not once in 2 years of the unwinnable proxy has a politicians said HOW ARE WE GONNA PAY FOR IT.
The destruction and loss of life are so heartbreaking! 😢
They put all of these shops and restaurants outside of the Biltmore estate, KNOWING, it floods. I lived in Asheville for 15 years, it always floods. Yet they build there then act surprised and devastated when this happens........... makes absolutely no sense.
Has anyone heard anything about Eseeloa Lodge up in Linville??
Genuine heart-felt prayers for everyone involved!
God bless them all. This is heartbreaking
When it becomes blatantly apparent that the earth is at war with the human race.
Baloney, it's an infrastructure issue.
Wow, I never see anything like this
Heartbreaking to see this lovely village destroyed - it was such a charming place to visit. Have many prayers and condolences to those that have lost friends and family in Helene’s wake. As a NC resident, sending help and hope to you.
God bless the people devastated by this. I just traveled parts of the Appalachian mountains this spring from nyc area and the people were mostly very nice people especially in smaller towns. I hope the ones who lost family get to see them again someday in a better world.
Is this unprecedented? I am 70 and dont ever recall flood damage like this. Weather modified hurricanes i suspect.
That container on the bridge...WOW ! Yet down below Walgreens seemed to have made it OK, but inside is likely a different story
His wrath is being revealed 🙏🙏🙏 prayers for those effected
Mind boggling. Thank you for your excellent photojournalism.
where is the president, vice president, the secretary of Transportation???
Has anyone heard anything about Fletcher…..mainly Gravely Branch Rd?
How do you go about clearing out this debris. Unbelievable.
Excavator and dump trucks.
I heard a dog bark at the Animal Hospital at 4:21. I hope they didn't leave any patients in there by mistake!
According to the website for the clinic, it was not open yet. I Googled the clinic and it said opening fall 2024. The dog sounded like it was from outside the building, but when people started mentioning it, I started to worry.
Americans are going to roll up their sleeves and rebuild. All my prays are with you
🙏 for the people there and for help to rebuild their lives.. so devastating….
The level of clean up entailed may require migrant labor.
You don't need migrant to work, A lot of people that live right there needs to work they come first...
So horrible. Lord help these people in Jesus name.
Wow. So devastating 😢
HARRP, AND CLOUD SEEDING.😈💩
Rebuild, recycle, refit and reuse
Indeed. Terracycling is awesome.
Sad things a lot of people in these small communities were barely surviving beforehand
Please help them Dear Lord Jesus
Praying for everyone affected🙏😢
Moe's: Coming Soon... Walls!

Wow, I, and everyone else, thought Helene was a light drizzle. But luckily, Trump showed up in the disaster zone to inform all of us that Helene was "A big one" that "nobody's ever seen before". People who live in the disaster zone had no idea they had been hit with "a big one", so we should all be thankful he showed up to tell us. It was totally worth having police suspend search and rescue for the 600 people still missing so they could protect him while he dispensed this invaluable information!
He is such an idiot
Worrying about the not president while the person in charge does absolutely nothing.... Kidding he just sent about 15 billion to Ukraine and Israel
How is Biltmore Park?
Devastated
Prayers too all.....😢
What’s the update?
This looks post apocalyptic. Very sad
Heartbreaking.
Welcome to our new normal.
No it's not
Top 3 property and casualty insurers in the Carolinas are:
--State Farm Group - State Farm continues to lead the P&C market with a significant share of direct premiums written, making it a top issuer for auto, home, and other personal lines insurance.

--Berkshire Hathaway (GEICO) - A major player in auto insurance, Berkshire Hathaway, through its subsidiary GEICO, is a significant P&C insurer, particularly in auto and other liability insurance lines.
So heartbreaking watching and knowing how many lost lives,and people homeless due to this,my heart goes out to all❤❤❤❤so very sorry what you all are going through.we must help all of you.❤❤❤😂😂😂god please bless these people every one of these people.this is so sad😂😂😂💔💔💔💯🌀⛈️🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I just bought dog and cat items , canned food, treats, LEASHES COLLARS, bowls, and can openers, they were dropped off , hopefully people get the stuff
Ого скільки біди наробив ураган 😳
It's terrible. Thank you, Russian friend. Your literature, history, music, philosophical writings have been a big part of my life. Yes, we are suffering and your good wishes are very appreciated.
Cataclysmic damage. Hard to watch these videos. Any of us could be next. Hurricane policies don ‘ t cover flood damage. Wonder how many had flood insurance. In light of Climate Change, all Homeowners should have flood insurance. Its coverage is less expensive and not as extensive as traditional Homeowner policies , but it’s a help.
Muy triste!
The military needs to come in. Local entities are overwhelmed. Get water and power in after cleanup. Construct temporary bridges. Get food in. Cut red tape. Seasons are changing.
400 roads washed out or blocked by flooding & mudslides & rt 40 fell away. Pray for everyone. There are currently 3 more tropical storms off the Atlantic the National Weather Service is watching. Dock workers may strike midnight from Texas Gulf to East Coast New York. It's bad enough supplies can't get thru by semi in most areas but that would lock everything up. Meats Fruits veggies medical/prescription supplies pet food.
Lived in Asheville 2014-2019. Worked at Well-Bred bakery in Biltmore Village. I don't even recognize most of this footage.
Heartbroken watching this. We Tennesseans spent much happy vacation time in Biltmore Village. Such a great place. Favorite places are devastated. :(
