I lost all at 65. An stand with no help or promise of any better. I saved 4 life's that day. An all I had was new an paid for. Thanks FEMA. An local government. For nothing. But stilling my tax paid dollars
Praying for all of you I know it's not much as you have nothing but there are people like me that actual cry and can't get over what has happened to you. I wish I had money are could come help my health won't let me. This is a historical event, why do people realize that it will affect all of us eventually. What people need to realize that much rain would affect any community in that way. So don't think in anyway it could be you next.
They also had planned for a 15-minute smart city in Hawaii as well. In fact they're doing it in all of the blue States and big cities! Geoengineering is something that really exists, you can research it and see that they have been able to manipulate the weather since world war II. In fact that's right around the time they started messing with it. There is no way that this was a normal event. And seeing the devastation and the loss it's not that far-fetched to believe this was a planned and coordinated event. The lack of support from the government and FEMA is disgusting! They continue to send money to other countries but they won't even help our own. Let's not even discuss all the money that's going to the illegals who they worry about if they have a place to live and something to eat. Yet to take our tax dollars to cover it and do nothing for the citizen. Paying taxes was a temporary thing to begin with I think we should quit paying taxes! We could take our own money and put it back into our own communities and do far better than the way the government is handling it.
@@Jen15359Truly a sad situation in the great nation of the USA. Never thought your government would turn out so evil against it's own people. May you all be blessed in the future 🙏
I live in VT just 1 mile from Senator Bernie Sanders and have written to him 2 times now about the extreme lack of federal help. I will keep writing to him until I hear something back from him. Write to your government leaders about this and demand they help the people rebuild the Infrastructure and houses. Get the Army core of engineers there in mass amounts to help until the places are livable
@@troyhonda71 I know he does but his office has personally helped us with an issue with my husbands GI bill that we used for our daughter. He has done good things for veterans and medication issues in VT.
I have an infuriating story. I am fairly certain the reason why they're not doing anything for the people in the mountains is because they want those people to be in such a desperate situation that they just up and leave their land. Because I live in Mooresville North Carolina, and while yes the storm was pretty bad here, it was nothing compared to the mountains. Despite that, I know a couple that had some very minor water damage in their crawlspace of their home (that may have existed before the hurricane, to be honest), and they made a claim with FEMA and were almost immediately approved to have the repairs to their home paid for, plus a six month stay in a local hotel. Yet every single person I've seen from the mountains who has tried to get help has been denied. I can only think of one explanation for that, and it isn't good😮
I just moved back to Colorado from North Carolina last december. I'm sharing your videos and information that you're sharing with everybody that I can out here. People are not aware at all of just how bad it is. Having lived there I can't even imagine the devastation in person. It's horrifying to see in videos and pictures. The Western North Carolina mountains were a beautiful hidden gem with an amazing people. It's just heartbreaking to see this happen and continue to be ignored. God bless you for making these videos! I will definitely keep sharing them. People don't understand that they're literally close to a thousand people missing and dead. Reporting that the dead amount is only 100 people is absurd and infuriating. And the fact that the railroad and the department of transportation don't care that people are not all accounted for and go in and just remove the debris piles without checking for missing is devastating. Many people will never have the closure that they deserve.
1000 horrible same w Katrina in the South some still living intents there Homes not zu Rebuilt but it B still pretty in NC around there people need to help each other 1000 dead has been minimized
Thank you for spreading our dire need..you almost have to see it all to really get the full impact helene left us with..so many small communities totally distroyed..❤💔🙏🏻
I live in North Carolina I asked my wife what she wanted to do on her birthday and she said I want to go to the mountains and help these people. So that’s what we did October 4 and what We have learned so far is the Democratic Party don’t care about you they just care the way you vote!!!!! If it was Zoo York they would have all the help they need.
I think this channel is the only one I see that is deeply exposing the experience WNC Americans are going thru. Bless your heart… I will share your videos.
@ thank you & thank you all so very much for all you do. Much respect, prayers and love sent your way! ♥️👆🏻♥️ I have cousins in the area, the Reynolds, if you meet a Donnie or Kathy Reynolds, those are some of my people 😁 they live in Hendersonville ♥️♥️♥️🌎♥️♥️♥️
They just passed additional funding a few days ago. I agree that this is horrific. My mother was flooded out twice in WV, and nobody ever helped her except friends and family. The first time, the governor stole the money. (Arch Moore, allegedly) He went to jail. The second time, I don't know what happened. I hope they get more help their way.
I will never forget Swannanoa just catastrophic what happened there. You cant fail to be moved when you see this place. God bless everyone in Swannanoa its going to take many years to rebuild there.Some places & homes are gone forever. 💔🙏🏻😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@realestatemindsetCan I ask you why you haven’t spoken to THE guy in Swannanoa that jumped into getting all the aid for people there FIRST? Jason A Ward at Silverados??
@@MrsRCopebetween going back and forth to Tennessee and North Carolina, joining the teams in the field, helping donate and transport supplies, resident interviews, city tours and editing, I didn't even think of it.
*YEAH DON'T LET ASHEVILLE AND THE REST OF THE AREAS HIT BY HELENA, BE FORGOTTEN LIKE EAST PALESTINE OHIO, PARADISE CALIFORNIA AND LAHAINA MAUI HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN*
Im still completely mind-blowed that the US government let their people down like that. Some people live in tents????? In winter, they lost everything.... the government is too busy making war with other country, so sad😢
A blessed and Merry Christmas to all! This is so hard to see over and over. I live not far from all of this and was spared. Many have given much locally to make sure these survivors have a beautiful Christmas...at least for a few hours. Travis your reporting has been unmatched. Both you and Melody have the biggest hearts. Thank you both and blessings for you and your families this Christmas Day.
Thank you so much. Sending prayers, and helping to keep the story alive. There should still be a "State of Emergency", untill all are accounted for. The Gov.and Mayors should be jailed. Truly evil.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am at a loss for why the Government isn't doing more. Why are we not using the SeaBees. Their expertise is cleaning up war zone areas and building infrastructure. They have a significant amount of heavy equipment. Come on FEMA do your job.
…..and just watch. Trump isn’t going to do a damn thing for these people. On January 20th Trump IS FEMA. Get ready for the sound of crickets coming from Trump’s Washington toward these Americans.
One person who has and is doing tons of things for Western NC & isn't getting credit is Wayne at Deep River Farm. You guys should interview him. God Bless You 😊👍🏼
I just read that the Army Corps of Engineers are helping clean up Asheville! Are they planning to fan out into others areas? Someone in the government needs to declare all of this areas as an ongoing emergency and get all of this cleaned up! Ask the Governor! Ask our Senators! There are people that are SUPPOSED to be helping clean up this mess!
There are no saviours, we have to save ourselves. No use asking any of the powers that shouldn't be, they don't care and have a hand in what has happened anyway (all planned well in advance).
It's interesting to me that during their walk down the main business district there were four maybe five different churches still standing and intact. May God continue to send help and bless all those who lost family and friends. There is still so much to be done and people to be housed. Please don't forget about them.
This is what they did to Maui after a hurricane fire. They are STILL NOT ALLOWED back on their properties. They want the land. They want smart cities. They want more tax $ and kickbacks. Trust me.
Everyone should be outraged over this. This could be the state of any community in the country that’s hit by a disaster if FEMA issues aren’t fixed. This is what we are taxed for so hold our government accountable.
@@christyann1201I don't know where you live, but the skies where I live are covered with chemtrails daily. These are chemicals being sprayed out of planes that spread thru the air. This is what is meant by spraying us. But you go ahead and just think "they" are spraying for mosquitoes.
So true even in my sky in eastern montana ,they spray every day! Makes me mad i if I God didn't open my eyes to their lies I would have never had a clue! Demons running things!

This is a generation or maybe a two generation event. It's going to be a long hard slog out of this mess. The little folks will be still working at the end of their hopefully long lives, at trying to straighten this mess out. My heart breaks for all of them in Western NC!
@@kennethmoles4643 you got that right...IMO they did manipulate that weather ....they do have the machinery and know how. So the big whigs are just going to do token amount because they want the people devastated and gone. Compare that to the illegal migrants in this country.
Hey i havent forgot that DAY ONE they on the news said it was a dam break or they fully opened the dam doors. Day two nobody talked about it... since....
Thank you for updating us on the conditions my heart goes out to all effected by this tragedy i am discussed with are government we the people need to take control of it again All i can do for is pray 🙏 sending positive thoughts of love and divine healing light to all for their highest good. When i win the lottery i will send good fortune to help those in need I feel sad wishing these people a Merry Christmas how can they be merry and bright when they have lost there homes business family and friends pets 😢 💜🌟🙌
Don't know about your state, but there's no flood insurance even offered in NY unless you're in a designated flood zone, which is dependent on land elevation.
Thank you for sharing your video of the damage here. Where you are filming is not Swannanoa, but East Asheville. It was once called Oteen. Swannanoa proper is 5 miles east. Either way, both areas took a beating from Helene.
It’s nothing, lol, a walk-in talkie or emergency radio, his cell phone in a case so he can film (it’s turned around camera facing out) a mic, a go pro camera, a solar charger
I like the fact that he pointed out that the area was a left leaning community, until the storm. The problem with politics is they want to define us as red or blue, but most of us are in the middle. The only way to make a liberal turn to conservative ways is to give them hard times, but soon as easy living returns, they will go back to their ways. The mainstream media cast this area as conservative, then ran away. We can see all the FEMA money is going to the illegals. It is sad the government leadership can repurpose government agencies! We see FEMA became the illegal alien hotel, the ATF became an assassination squad, and the FBI has become the CIA, what next? We need to point out the government doing their own thing.
Someone needs to investigate the Army Corps of Engineers to find out why the early warning system didn't work. Liability need be determined for damages.
There needs to be insurance for 'all eventualities', where insurance companies pay out with question. Homeowners insurance should be available without separate categories like fire, flood, earthquake, storm, landslide, vandalsim etc etc.
So sad but it warms my heart at what our own are doing for each other. I don't know any sonar operators personally but I know of some youtubers that do it. I don't know if they can be reached or are able to help. Depths of History, Josh Cantu, Oregon Rescue Divers, Chaos Divers, Sam Sam the Adventure Man, Doug Bishop with United Search Corps, and NicGyver are just a few. I hope that someone has the time and ability to help.
You need to take off your tinfoil hat, bud. I'm here and I know what happened in the real world. 4 days of torrential rainfall and then the remnants of a hurricane. Mountains aren't made for that much water and NO ONE predicted what happened. (And the government showed up within hours and started helping rescue folks.)
Here in Lake Charles, Louisiana Hurricane Lara hit us really hard in 2020 we still have blue tarped roofs that FEMA was suppose to replace and they have not done their jobs here either. We are still rebuilding.
At 6:50, it shows what use to be a Motel 6. Between Business US 70 and I-40, Exit 55. Stayed there many times. I didn't know that trickle stream at the bottom of the parking lot was the Swannanoa River. The weather in NC is usually real good. But when it's bad, it's real bad. I lived there since 1967 and been through several toranados and hurricanes. We moved to SW Utah after our home in New Bern NC got flooded by Hurricane Florence in 2018. The "Storms of the Century" seemed to be happening with increasing frequency...everywhere!
We were SO Blessed we had no loss of life here in Taylor County Florida. But our small little town was hit with over 20 foot Storm Surge , was directly hit by Helene and we are STILL suffering as well! Most of us Are Forgotten ! We are known for our Resources being Scalloping and Fishing . Lots of Tourists come here . Out small town is destroyed. We are ALL Forgotten so it seems.
To those who read one of THE greatest SHTF novels of all time “One Second After” by William Forstchen, these areas that you’re viewing are precisely where that 2009 faction story took place.
There is a lot of damage and financial loss, but there is still a lot in the Asheville area that is up and running and vibrant. So some and visit and or help in the recovery efforts.
9:41 this is why I’m not expecting to go back to the mountains anytime soon if ever. Idk how people can ignore the toxicity of everything around them and carry on as if they’re going to rebuild their life in this place. Even if it never floods again you’re living in a place where the water supply will be forever ruined. There’s no way to clean the water in these areas. No way to get all of the hazardous chemicals out of the water and air. If we were smart we’d just declare all of these cities to be uninhabitable. But bc we don’t know what else to do that could clean up the environment most people will just rebuild and try not to think about it too much. But there will be health issues directly related to the pollution in the air and water for the next half century at least. The statistics 20-30 years from now will tell us exactly how bad the pollution is. I’d do whatever I could to make sure me and my family were never going to be part of those statistics. But most people will have to live with a certain level of denial just to be able to psychologically justify their decisions to stay.
There should be a law that insurance companies have to pay when you don't have flood insurance in areas that aren't close to a big body of water but here in PA if you live by a creek you have to have flood insurance
I know the people need our help, but why? To rebuild and clean up? Why? None of it matters unless you get all of the pollution out of the air, water, debris, mud, etc. Why would anyone want to live in that? And why would anyone want to help people rebuild in that? None of it makes sense. It’d be insane to go down there and help do ANYTHING other than get people out of the area as quickly as possible. It’s finished. There’s no coming back from these kinds of natural disasters bc we let forever chemicals leak into every part of the environment. That should be the end of discussion. Until the toxicity is gone and back to pre-flood levels then idk why any rebuilding is being discussed at all. It’s over. It’s gone. People seem to be in denial of this fact.
There are folks whose families go back several generations. Their identities are imbedded in their land along with their departed forbears. They see a reflection of themselves in the mountainsides and mountain seasons. Everywhere is polluted to a degree. It’s 23 years post 9/11 and folks can live and have good health again in lower Manhattan. To everything there is a season. Ecclesiastes 3
Lately a ton of UA-camrs have been headed that way. Some are just grifting but most seem to care and are happy to speak about what’s going on and making efforts to network to get more help that way. Believe it or not, it’s going to be okay. Trump will take over like he should and get rid of the leftists evil. I’m all for it.

Lmao, you don't pay hardly anything to the federal government. Fema told you this was a flood risk and you ignored. Sorry to hear you are a goofball
I don’t believe this was natural, Weather manipulation exists. None of us are safe.
Thank you for all you've done and sacrificed. If it wasn't for you they would no longer be living. Your a true American Hero Peter.
Asheville has plans for 15 minute City...this could be why these Mayors are not helping with clean up..
Have you been out to these areas? If your local go! The corruption is killer.
They also had planned for a 15-minute smart city in Hawaii as well. In fact they're doing it in all of the blue States and big cities! Geoengineering is something that really exists, you can research it and see that they have been able to manipulate the weather since world war II. In fact that's right around the time they started messing with it. There is no way that this was a normal event.

Having been through many hurricanes, it will take years to recover.
Thank you so much for continuing to stay there and showing us what's going on!!!

Merry Christmas Edward
Thank you for reporting without you honest and transparent UA-camrs reporting on this we would have no news about this awful tragedy.
God Bless Us Every One🙏😎💪
Don't know about your state, but there's no flood insurance even offered in NY unless you're in a designated flood zone, which is dependent on land elevation.
Thank you for sharing your video of the damage here. Where you are filming is not Swannanoa, but East Asheville. It was once called Oteen. Swannanoa proper is 5 miles east. Either way, both areas took a beating from Helene.
…Thank you so much!! Please do a video on all that electronic equipment on your chest and describe what each thing does. At 3:22
It’s nothing, lol, a walk-in talkie or emergency radio, his cell phone in a case so he can film (it’s turned around camera facing out) a mic, a go pro camera, a solar charger
Oh and the orange thing is a gas detection device
@@MrsRCopethank you
Trump was one of the first there with supplies and $27 million of his own money, followed by his daughter later who brought more food and was serving.
I like the fact that he pointed out that the area was a left leaning community, until the storm. The problem with politics is they want to define us as red or blue, but most of us are in the middle. The only way to make a liberal turn to conservative ways is to give them hard times, but soon as easy living returns, they will go back to their ways. The mainstream media cast this area as conservative, then ran away. We can see all the FEMA money is going to the illegals. It is sad the government leadership can repurpose government agencies! We see FEMA became the illegal alien hotel, the ATF became an assassination squad, and the FBI has become the CIA, what next? We need to point out the government doing their own thing.
I've come to learn that there really is no national interest among the governing. Only international interests.
Thank you for your continued support and for keeping our story alive 🙏 ❤️
Someone needs to investigate the Army Corps of Engineers to find out why the early warning system didn't work. Liability need be determined for damages.
There needs to be insurance for 'all eventualities', where insurance companies pay out with question. Homeowners insurance should be available without separate categories like fire, flood, earthquake, storm, landslide, vandalsim etc etc.
So sad but it warms my heart at what our own are doing for each other. I don't know any sonar operators personally but I know of some youtubers that do it. I don't know if they can be reached or are able to help. Depths of History, Josh Cantu, Oregon Rescue Divers, Chaos Divers, Sam Sam the Adventure Man, Doug Bishop with United Search Corps, and NicGyver are just a few. I hope that someone has the time and ability to help.
HARRP! had to do with ALL this! Thank your OWN GOVERNMENT! MANY! MANY! SECRETS!!!
AMEN 🙏🏻
You need to take off your tinfoil hat, bud. I'm here and I know what happened in the real world. 4 days of torrential rainfall and then the remnants of a hurricane. Mountains aren't made for that much water and NO ONE predicted what happened. (And the government showed up within hours and started helping rescue folks.)
Here in Lake Charles, Louisiana Hurricane Lara hit us really hard in 2020 we still have blue tarped roofs that FEMA was suppose to replace and they have not done their jobs here either. We are still rebuilding.
They are too busy giving hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
This is so sad. People are still not home & never will be. FEMA did nothing. ❤❤
The unity and level of Church involvement makes me think I’m witnessing Revival.
❤❤❤
What people don’t understand about this damage is that it’s beyond praying and beyond being fixed fast,there is so much damage all over the county!
At 6:50, it shows what use to be a Motel 6. Between Business US 70 and I-40, Exit 55. Stayed there many times. I didn't know that trickle stream at the bottom of the parking lot was the Swannanoa River.
The weather in NC is usually real good. But when it's bad, it's real bad. I lived there since 1967 and been through several toranados and hurricanes.
We moved to SW Utah after our home in New Bern NC got flooded by Hurricane Florence in 2018. The "Storms of the Century" seemed to be happening with increasing frequency...everywhere!
Also, who took the millions Dolly Parton, Trump and the country music artist donated. Govenor?? Who took that money
So am I understanding the Dam had no backup generator to work the dams ? How can this be ?
I wish I knew more but what I have heard is not good.
Prayers to all
Where is the Governor?
We were SO Blessed we had no loss of life here in Taylor County Florida. But our small little town was hit with over 20 foot Storm Surge , was directly hit by Helene and we are STILL suffering as well! Most of us Are Forgotten ! We are known for our Resources being Scalloping and Fishing . Lots of Tourists come here . Out small town is destroyed. We are ALL Forgotten so it seems.
railroad cars stacked up like it's the new normal, thank joe
This will take year or more alot of process to go through but the people are strong and will pull together to make it happen
That’s a lot of water 😮😮😮 that wasn’t a regular storm 😵💫👀🦾👀
May I say build a big ol' CAMPGROUND BUILD CAMPS, " BUILD IT THEY WILL COME"!!!
To those who read one of THE greatest SHTF novels of all time “One Second After” by William Forstchen, these areas that you’re viewing are precisely where that 2009 faction story took place.
If you have dams and people close downstream there MUST be loud sirens all along the down path and evacuation plans and drills regularly. Like common.
There is a lot of damage and financial loss, but there is still a lot in the Asheville area that is up and running and vibrant. So some and visit and or help in the recovery efforts.
Abandoned.
Merry Christmas and thanks for your work and info Trvs...blessings🕊♥
9:41 this is why I’m not expecting to go back to the mountains anytime soon if ever. Idk how people can ignore the toxicity of everything around them and carry on as if they’re going to rebuild their life in this place. Even if it never floods again you’re living in a place where the water supply will be forever ruined. There’s no way to clean the water in these areas. No way to get all of the hazardous chemicals out of the water and air. If we were smart we’d just declare all of these cities to be uninhabitable. But bc we don’t know what else to do that could clean up the environment most people will just rebuild and try not to think about it too much. But there will be health issues directly related to the pollution in the air and water for the next half century at least. The statistics 20-30 years from now will tell us exactly how bad the pollution is. I’d do whatever I could to make sure me and my family were never going to be part of those statistics. But most people will have to live with a certain level of denial just to be able to psychologically justify their decisions to stay.
Next step is to build homes on land for the ones that lost their homes!
Have a bonkers Christmas
Merry Christmas!
There should be a law that insurance companies have to pay when you don't have flood insurance in areas that aren't close to a big body of water but here in PA if you live by a creek you have to have flood insurance
They gave all money to fema employees and debri removal and organization but not to people trying to rebuild their lives
No one ever heard of SIRENS dear lord.
❤ I appreciate you Travis. Merry Christmas
That's Azalea North Carolina
It will take years lady not months
13:23 if the air and water are toxic then why would anyone come to help? Everyone just needs to move along. It’s too hazardous to save.
I know the people need our help, but why? To rebuild and clean up? Why? None of it matters unless you get all of the pollution out of the air, water, debris, mud, etc. Why would anyone want to live in that? And why would anyone want to help people rebuild in that? None of it makes sense. It’d be insane to go down there and help do ANYTHING other than get people out of the area as quickly as possible. It’s finished. There’s no coming back from these kinds of natural disasters bc we let forever chemicals leak into every part of the environment. That should be the end of discussion. Until the toxicity is gone and back to pre-flood levels then idk why any rebuilding is being discussed at all. It’s over. It’s gone. People seem to be in denial of this fact.
@LDJ-r8e that's a good question. Why is no one talking about it?
There are folks whose families go back several generations. Their identities are imbedded in their land along with their departed forbears. They see a reflection of themselves in the mountainsides and mountain seasons. Everywhere is polluted to a degree. It’s 23 years post 9/11 and folks can live and have good health again in lower Manhattan. To everything there is a season. Ecclesiastes 3
*Thank you Real Estate Mindset* God Bless
Lately a ton of UA-camrs have been headed that way. Some are just grifting but most seem to care and are happy to speak about what’s going on and making efforts to network to get more help that way. Believe it or not, it’s going to be okay. Trump will take over like he should and get rid of the leftists evil. I’m all for it.
As long as people show up and support is given to the people who are supporting the communities, then the more the better.
Thank you for sharing this. The American people need to see this reality.
