I worked for Daniel this summer and he was one of best bosses ive ever had its sad to see whats happening i was down there little over a week ago and everything was still in drought now most of our staff housing, offices, Pavillion, and campground cabins have been washed out. Hopefully we can recover from this 🙏
I had a boss once told me when I told him that I liked working for him he stopped all work and told me that you never work for another man you always work for yourself no matter what job you hold
That place has employed so many people from all across TN, NC, and KY throughout the years. Hopefully, the people of East TN will come together to rebuild and get all the help they need, and then some.
@@benhoskins4719 Tennessee isn't paying its way in America as the state's residents and government are taking more from the federal government than they're putting in. And now they need everyone else to bail them out so they can "get the help they need".

Turn around, don't drown and yet look at those fireman. They just lost a fire truck and insurance company very well may not pay because they went into high water.
Every building he lost he literally built. He was involved in building them all at that company pretty much. He was out with hammers and drills on them
Your loss is tremendous, and heartfelt, from us in middle Georgia. No doubt that you'll have a lot of support in getting your business back up and running, so hang in there!
@@lisasmith9311 Insurance doesn't cover everything. I live in California in a county hit by wildfire twice. Everyone had to deal with insurance problems and what the insurance didn't cover. Plus you don't get the money for quite a while.
Worked for Dan my first year in 2022. One of my best seasonal jobs ever. Great man with a huge heart. This one hits hard, praying for SMO and the city of Hartford.
I live here. As sad as this may be, this community doesn’t back down from a challenge, and will rebuild better than it was before. This is a special place.
And people are leaving mindless comments about why didn’t these people prepare. Mother Nature is still unpredictable and unmatched. I hope his insurance can recoup the loss.
A working lifetime of blood...sweat and tears just rubbed out... What could I possibly say that would bring you comfort... May the authorities step up immediately and pitch in meaningfully... 🇿🇦
Its the volunteer state for a reason. We will help him build back better. But it is sad today. Lots of memories in those walls i am sure. One day at a time.

I am so sorry. I hope you can rebuild. So many people must have idyllic memories of going to your place. I read some comments from people who worked with you. You must be a very special person. You handled that with grace.
These are Republican states, the politicians of whom voted against the infrastructure bill. Then disasters occur and they scream for $ help. These floods are terrifying, so destructive. I expect too many people have been ruined.
Yep and when trump is president again all that foreign aid is gonna be cut in half or stopped especially to Ukraine that's why zelenskyy met with trump cause he knows that funding for his war is gonna be cutin half cause the president needs to take care of Americans 1st especially after this hurricane helene disaster in the south especially fla and TN and other states but the democrats rather give billions to Ukraine and guving lllegals all this free shit paid for the american tax payers dime cause when trump was president there was a surplus but democrats spending like drunken sailors and herein mass there was surplus with baker as governor but now since healeys been governor she's running through the budget cause of the illegals being sent here from the border and I'm tired of that democrats shitway of running the us caring more about illegals and other countries then american citizens who pay all these taxes.
This is just a story of one man. The covered 88 states. Florida , Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee are the worst hit. Homes , businesses and roads have been washed away, the loss is estimated in billions.
I am SO SORRY for your loss!!! My family is truly going to miss that swinging bridge. And there's just no telling yet how this flood changed The Pigeon River, and the future of rafting there. It certainly looks like that split right there, with those great little holes will not be accessible, without some serious moving of ALL THOSE STONES/ROCKS that are now blocking that fork. I dont even know if that will be possible, but I am praying for those ballsy raft guides who will first venture down the river to scout. Im sure they are fervently anticipating that first run, but guys, PLEASE, please be careful! Give it some time to receed, for your safety's sake!
Just absolutely brutal. I'm glad that people listened to the warnings and got out. So frustrated by those that were ignorant to the constant warnings and are now trapped.
I live in Florida and I cntinue to see stupid comments "Why on earth do people live in FL" everytime a hurricane passes through. This video is proof that mother nature is coming no mater where you live. At least in FL I don't have state income tax and when it's not storming the weather is beautiful. My prayers go out to everyone affected by any storm regardless if it's Helene or another.
I've lived through MANY hurricanes...here in Louisiana...but FLOODING is the WORST😢 Lost EVERYTHING in 2016... I feel your pain. Hopefully your family is safe🙏
Sorry for your loss hope that you can rebuild. Keep a smile on the face, life is short, we know that it has its tragedies. We just have to keep on pushing forward. 😌
We are all waiting for waters to subside, and then we will try to assess the damage. There's nearly a dozen rafting companies on this river, all under water. But hopefully, we will be able to get back by the middle of next week. Hartford is a tight-knitted community though, so we will do like we always do, and band together to overcome this.
I worked for that man for 4 yrs. I love you Daniel and I’m glad everyone listened and got out in time.
