Asheville resident here. The army corps of engineers is here to help our roads and such. They were blown away that we had little to no protections relying on a hurricane proof sentiment to our tourists and locals. They said they need to dredge the Swannanoa river 20 feet down and we need to build a wall where you saw this lady here tall enough so that if and when it floods again, the dredge will give us another twenty feet before it crests a wall. Many of our communities and townships have been wiped off the earth because lake view or river front was built into our way of life. Looking back on it, that makes perfect sense. How ignorant. It's awful here. Help is slowly but surely arriving and already here. So many volunteers cutting trees and transporting supplies or water. Civilians have astounded us with grace. Task forces, police, ems, rescue, and operators from all over the states and Canada are here helping with rescues and support. Heavy national Guard presence. Cell signal is spotty but better by day. This is the first day after Thursday that I've had solid service for more than 30 minutes. Power still off for hundreds of thousand. Myself included. 6 days now. Water isn't expected for 3-6 weeks. Without the army engineers and companies in neighboring towns or states, we could never rebuild our home. Many are affected by this hurricane. Asheville was just decimated. It's very surreal to be on this side of a natural disaster. Not just the video watcher this time. It's like a movie how awful it is but it's like a movie in how heartwarming it is to see everyone's comments. Thank you so much. From all of us. We need all the help we can get. As flood waters lower and leave, we are finding more devastation and death beneath the muddy water. Love you all. Thank you.
God bless you neighbor. It's been so hard to get any information At all in the the East Asheville Swannanoa area. I'm thankful that you made it through and hope that things keep improving for you God bless

They are already doing things to help these people.
Yep,just like maui,usa last
@@johnnyeskew4703 You think T rmp cares about these people?
I'll bet.
Biden has already approved aid and sent the National Guard days ago.
Has that not been reported on Faux News, yet?
Contrast that with:
Aug 17, 2020 news - "President Donald Trump wanted to shut off emergency relief for California amid devastating wildfires because it was a blue state."
State of Emergency Declared in 6 States!
WE NEED YOU AMERICA FOOD WATER GENERATORS!
Trend Reed. make your comment here. You should be able to post 2 or 3 times before utube cuts you off.
Sipping a $3 energy drink right before claiming babies have nothing to drink is pretty bold ngl
It was Arizona sweet tea but yeah
Volunteers are bringing in cases of stuff to drink , not just water
Imagine finding something negative to say about that situation. Comment sections are POISON
Build Back Better only applies to Ukraine !
Silly comment.
The storm happened last week.
Are you Russian, Chinese or Iranian?
Sodom and Gomorrah repeated. They never learn.
Is the brewery gone
Why isn't Joe Biden down there to help those people.🤔 I guess he's going to pull another East Palestine Ohio.😞
@@anthonyvenney389 It’s not populated by all-important Israelis, Ukrainians or Taiwanese.
How dare you interrupt joes beach day
He is traveling there today.

I'm sure ya boy roy cooper will get it fixed. 😂😂😂 FLA is back to business as usual already.
Where is the national level leadership ?
Curious what you do for employment?

And so Russian trolls question aid to Ukraine here......
Aid? You mean theft from Americans
Nothing like a Kamala Harris Ad just after the video laughing and asking for donations Disgraceful
looks like all the crap these people just dump on the road side
this is awful but it's obviously folks did not take the hurricane serious
yea cat 4 is no fkn joke.
No one knew how bad it would be in nc
Often because the people here have never experienced a hurricane at this level, most we got here was rain like with irma
Ashville was 400 miles from where Helene made landfall! They didn't get warnings that it would be catostrophic until it was already here because forecasters didn't know it would continue to dump rain in the same spot. I don't blame these folks at all.
I am sure fema and the insurance companies in volunteers will pull together to help.
in a couple weeks
Some insurance companies are actually trying to not pay. Some have decided to not count things lost. One couple wpuld have gotten 250k but it was 'reviewed' and now its only 15K.
@@MayMay-qr1yc Yea, I'm guessing we can count on volunteers and FEMA, but not so sure about insurance. Our country needs a pretty big overhaul of insurance companies to be honest. 60 minutes did a big segment on this recently.
I thought EVs were the only cars that could be stranded by a natural disaster.
🙄 go find one "EV" thats operating there now since the power is out an you can't charge. Keep talking about cars tho as over 100 ppl are dead. Tens of thousands of homes washed away. Ppl lost everything. You make your cause look like the trash it truly is.
❤❤❤❤❤❤prayers 2025
the key part of that phrase is 'river'. In school you learn about things called 'floods'. Its as if some of these folks never heard of flooding or how it works.
I’m an artist and my heart goes out to this community…so much has been lost.
the Biden response is pathetic. Where is transportation secretary Peter Butthead?
You realize huge sections of roads and many bridges are completely wiped out right? You can't rebuild those in a few days. It will be months before these get reopened (including Interstate 40 through a section that has very few alternate routes that are also destroyed) They had to fly in water today to Asheville.
This is yet another reason why I'll never move down south. I'll gladly take the cold winters and occasional blizzard over this hurricane crap. Prayers out to these people, though
Where is Donald Trump in all these Republicans that say they can just wave a magic wand and stop all of this from happening?
ASK YOUR SELF where is Biden he is still at the beack, TRUMP out in Ga helping out Where is your national guard Where is FEMA, its been 5 days 9 30/24 Harris is still out Campaigning time 1300
Wheres the help they need? Trumps planning a visit to the area once he gets the ok to go in.
Right with a sharpie trump can just make everything disappear.
@@dknowles60the fema that Republicans keep voting down to fund that fema. Biden had already allocated the funds before the storm was coming.
@@bridgitelakies5 🤣🤣 trump is outhere golfing. Trump dont care about this people
I hope President Biden visits the communities!!
he wount trump will
Don't hold your breath
Biden saw pictures of the devastation 😂
@@dknowles60 Biden is visiting today. (Wednesday)

Picking up artwork out of the rubble….really? That is now contaminated waste…..that will be bulldozed. Get over yourself.
and where is your government
Your insurance rates are going to go up too. And don't blame Biden for that.
i can blame Biden for being on the Beach, 5 days still no FEMA 5 days still no National Guard
Oh I sure will blame this administration
@@TrentR0123 Sorry but the president can't control the prices that insurance companies charge for weather damage coverage.
@@55cook inflation causes automotive parts to increase, shipping to increase labor to increase hope that helps you get it.
@@TrentR0123 Injecting billions of dollars into the economy in the form of Tr#mp tax cuts (primarily to the wealthiest) which caused an explosion in the the national debt, brought us a large portion of the inflation we are living in today. Either cut spending when you lower taxes or raise taxes if you don't want to cut spending. Don't do both. Hope that helps you understand basic macroeconomics.
everything, including our decency, our false promise of democracy, liberty.. sorry folks! Your tax $$$$ has to _______ muslims and bring price gouging capitalism to Russia, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, etc 😊
Asheville will never recover.
CHEM TRAILS? IS IT POSSIBLE? CHANGING THE ATMOSPHERE? BLOCKING THE SUN? MAKING EARTH HOTER AND HOTER? JUST ASKING...
This person's spacecraft is in Asheville
I moved there in 2002 thinking it would be an awesome place to live and did not make it a full year. It was a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah then and it was no accident that the tempest brought this destruction there. I pray that their eyes and hearts are opened to the truth and repent. The time of threshing is here, now. Wake up.
wow
We have to pray to Trump. He can save us. Stop believing in Jesus and pray to trump. He's the only one who can save us
Remind everybody how Trump treated hurricanes
Tell us he treated them and how Biden treated the 2 that hit PR where he did nothing.
Aug 17, 2020 news - "President Donald Trump wanted to shut off emergency relief for California amid devastating wildfires because it was a blue state."
Remember his comments about suggesting we maybe nuke the hurricane 5 years ago...smh
@@chaleej5571 No he didn't. Recently Cali has had numerous blackouts and Gavin is nowhere to be seen.
@@zackcinq-mars2129 HAHA Get educated kid. Meteorologists have been talking about using low yield nukes on hurricanes for 50 years. You have been schooled
Fnbc
How did it affect white people if they have privilege
Honestly if it were looked into, I would bet
1 they have more resources to rebuild and have bigger safety nets to fall on.
2 they were more likely to live on higher ground, further from the river.
This is what they found when looking into those who suffered most from hurricane Harvey in Houston.
We will rebuild better than ever! Vote Trump if you want our country united!!! ❤️🤍💙🦅🇺🇲
Stop exploiting people’s tragedies for political purposes…typical maga, no respect
Yeah right! Dump the trump!
you forgot to add /s for sarcasm, since he's never done a thing to unite people.
I think the word you're looking for is"divided". Of course, you would know that if your party wasn't so dead set on destroying what's left of our education system.
@@SepaediusYes he has, you've never listened to him. You get everything thru the govt filter. Didn't Biden pass two trillion dollar infrastructure bills? Where are they now?
Remember Maui. Poof, no more media coverage. Remember Palestine Ohio? Poof, no more media coverage.
Hey, but they got billions for war in Ukraine an Israel.
Trillions for the millions an millions of third worlders they shipped in.
No compassion for Americans who don't vote like you tho. Spit the boot out already.
