Thank you so much for these informative videos. I really appreciate the sensitive way you handle this because the information you are documenting is important to future development. Also I love hearing your dog walking around. They’ve had a hard time through all this too. ❤
This was so heartbreaking. That adorable house with what looked like a fresh coat of paint - totally destroyed and lives inside taken. I can only hope their end came quickly, before they could realize what was happening. Thank you again for covering these devastated areas. Excellent drone footage. Looking forward to your coverage of the Beetree community/Warren Wilson College area. I know people in that area, and from what I could tell, much of it looks pretty destroyed. There was also the Warren Wilson trail system and the Swannanoa River trail, which was one of my favorite hiking trails in the area. I imagine it's gone or in bad shape.
The issue I would be concerned with is possible hanging slides, say slides that creeped but never let loose and with a thunderstorm could possibly let go. Great Vid👍👍👍👍
I lived on Wilson Ave from 2000 to 2013 and I hate to see this in such a pretty neighborhood as Grovemont. I pray the Mumpowers are ok. I rented a lot to put my brand new mobile home on, After I got married. On one of their lots, Mr Mumpower my neighbor's grandfather rented us the lot even though i5 wasn't quite ready. I am thankful for them, Hey Mark, Brian, Charles, Jean. 😊
Can you explore Lytle Cove Road? South of 70 in Swannanoa. Family. They are higher, but would like to know what happened to/for folks below. It goes under 40. Thank you for all you are showing. Spent many summers there with cousins, aunt and uncle. Know the area well. And I love it! 🥰😢
Sorry I missed your inquiry-glad you used the maps off my vid. This was a very useful view of the flow and its damage. Can you fly the one behind the boys’ home?
Thank you for your videos and yes Thegeo guy. Phillip and Mark Hunycutt. Your videos have helped me to understand the scale of this. For the people in the back. We haven’t a clue. My real first time viewing the Appalachian mountains. You three helped me, and hopefully others too? So beautiful and sad😢. God bless all the families. This is me 😂 Am I looking north or south . Thanks to guys I got better at it ❤
My heartfelt sympathizes for the loss of neighbors and family. Those of us not from there may not have realized people lived in these areas, in the path of the slides. Just guessing only locals are allowed access. Major media corporations probably don't want to risk their journalist lives, since they don't know the area. Prayers continue for Western North Carolina. 🙏🏽
I saw an interview of a woman talking about a house in Grovemont lost to a slide. It seems it may be this same one! The woman in the home was trapped, but her son and husband rode in the debris on their couch! That detail was actually part of the title of the video. Interesting to make connections and realize the human side of the tragedy. Mourn lives lost, but also celebrate lives saved!
Great footage. I would love to see the area of Swannanoa River road near the nature center all the way down to Lowe’s on tunnel road. Have yet to see any footage from there. Thanks!
I went down Swannanoa River Rd from Tunnel Rd. Was able to go up Azalea Rd to the park below the Nature Center. The park was so annihilated I couldn't even remember what it used to look like. Swannanoa River Rd was closed after that traffic light. I could see the road from up at the park and it had been completely washed out. Went around and down S Tunnel Rd. Road closed right after Best Buy. What I could see from there was Lowes and Ole's Guacamoles and goodwill and Walgreens were hit hard. I can only imagine how bad it is past there on River Rd going toward Biltmore 😢
It's drivable now. Lowe's has a pile of metal racks outside that's higher than the roof of the building. This isn't verified: I understand that Lowe's is going to be demolished.
Thank you for your videos Dominic. Any word on the condition of the Chemtronic's Superfund site in Swannanoa? That's 535 acres of chemical weapons contamination above Bee Tree that isn't getting much attention that I've seen.
I drove up Bee Tree yesterday and didn't stop at Chemtronic. I've been hearing a lot of local chatter about it, but nothing official. Perhaps the only way to learn what's going on is to take a few downstream samples for testing.
Encourage anyone out of work to apply for unemployment. Govenor has declared 23 counties can get 600 a week instead of 395 a week i think for six months. 8 dont know how many people are aware of this.

This is definitely not something the news media is going to show. Thank you for helping us understand. 12:10

We live on Azalea Ave down the road from the slide

Have you seen Mark Huneycutt's videos? He hiked the Craigtown slide and it was unbelievable! Thanks for posting this!
Just wondering where the three smaller slides are in relation to the big slide? Thanks
How sad. 💔

He has footage of that area. It's bad.

@@DominicTaverniti cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.Stayup&id=0402957#Stayup What the hell was going on up there?
On topos there appears to be a stream running up the hill just to East of house. Did it have anything to do with landslide and/or flooding below?
You can’t see Mount Mitchell from up above there?
Extremely terrifying Are any areas at an increased risk by additional heavy rains?
Perhaps all all those slide areas laid bare will increase hazard - hopefully not that amount rain.
It's gonna take Google years to update their maps from having to build new roads/relocating them/ other properties and businesses.
According to tax records the house with steps has been there since 1950 - terrible, unthinkable on account of a hurricane.
