    @12:01 PM, at least the rain seems to have stopped! I’m so sorry you lost your house and everything with it! But you are strong and you were smart and got to higher ground! Prayers for your recovery. Hugs from EastTN(over the hill from you). I found your bridge and house on Google. Lovely place! Might want to take a still shot of it, for old times’ sake. Prayers for you and your community.

    JP, if I am reading my TV right, you now have over 1 million views, every one richly deserved. I have watched this video 5 times myself. You had the foresight to see a big event coming and to record it as it unfolded. You even revealed exactly where you were. I have watched countless other videos where people identify a road or highway but fail to say where they are starting or in which direction they are going. I hope the people who admire your work flood your GoFundMe account as robustly as Mother Nature poured down the rain. I had ancestors in what the cryptic records call Crabtree Valley. I hope to visit that area in the spring and will look you up, if you re-build in the area. I'm not an art fan, but I absolutely want to see the new pieces you will create after this challenging experience. God bless you and give you peace. Bob from High Point

    If anyone is interested have a look at the seaside village if Boscastle in Cornwall, UK. Its at the bottom of a valley, with steep hills on every side. A few years ago the water poured down those hills and swept the village away into the sea. Luckily the coast guard launched a mass rescue and lifted all the residents to safety off their roofs. Its a magical place, infact its home to the museum of witchcraft, due to its links with Alastair Crowley. No where near as devastating as this flood, but the power of water is just terrifying.

    I’m sorry for the people that had to go through this, defiantly life changing. I’m a climate change believer, many here are most likely not. But scientists have been warning of things like this coming if we don’t make the changes to avert this. The way I look at it, these scientist got into science because they love the subject/field. Not once did any of them say, hey I think I’ll get into science to fool someone or some government one day. They are not saying these things for any personal gain. People are always on about not trusting politicians but most of you believe one now. One man does not know everything, one man does not have as ll the answers. A group of individuals with a love of a field, will get a lot closer to the truth better than self serving individual.

    what a beautifully shot video, really captures the essence of Yancey County during such a tough time. I gotta say though, while the flooding is definitely a serious issue, it seems like the portrayal here might be a bit too dramatic. The reality is that floods happen, and maybe we should focus more on the resilience of the community rather than just the destruction. Just my two cents!

    great video, really appreciate the effort you put into capturing the flood in Yancey County. however, I can't help but think that the focus should've been more on the community response rather than just the natural disaster itself. it's important we highlight how people come together in tough times, right?

    great video, very informative and well put together! but honestly, i think the focus on the flood's impact in Yancey County overshadows the broader environmental issues we're facing. it's not just about recovery; we need to address climate change as a whole. what do you all think?

      It wasn’t a choice. I tried to leave for almost an hour before the water surged. All of the exiting roads were already blocked with trees. I finally turned around to help some of my neighbors when they were stuck, and then over the next two hours the water surge trapped us from using the roads at all.

    It’s unfortunate hindsight, not moving the stuff to higher ground but I guess you never expected it to get this high (28foot I guess as it was higher the bridge)

    • @JayPaulThibault
      @JayPaulThibault 21 день тому

      I actually was there that morning specifically to move things up higher...My ignorance as to how high this was goin g to go is demonstrated near the beginning when I thought it would only go up about half way the piling. I would have needed 24 to 36 hours of time if I had known. I'm going tomorrow to do more footage.

    14:45 "Hey, you can't park there!" In all seriousness tho. At least you survived. The building y'all got on the roof of, could have very easily ended the same as your building. Consider how many others were in the same position, but the building didn't hold up to the current. Karma was on your side. Good luck.
