    Flood level information has been updated in the description of this video as of 9/30/2024. And yes, I made a mistake in the captions of this video showing 2025 as the year of these events and the date of 1895 for the French Broad River's highest flood event. These were mistakes, and the correct information is in the description above.

      5:19 so, is there still a TVA? I knew of it of course from the 30’s, 40’s. What is the large building beside the dam? With the 4 stacks on the roof? It is amazing the dams lasted this long, no one back then envisioned this type of flooding in the mtns. Those were some tough hombres who built our infrastructure back in the early 1900s.
      I do think though we need to look to the Romans’ for better concrete. Some of it in Italy still holding up after a couple thousand years. Comparatively, modern stuff is worthless.🫣

    Elizabethton TN here. I'm 10 miles east of Elizabethton, 1/2 way up a mountain. Other than no electric and phone for a day, and a huge mature Walnut tree falling across my lawn, I'm fine, but Elizabethton and surrounding areas were hit hard. Houses floating down rivers, bridges collapsing, Interstate hwy 26 ripped apart, flooding in towns, some completely destroyed. Yeah, not good, but the communities are coming together to help each other. That's what Americans do in times of tragedy. We will rebuild, better than ever.

      Bridge scour is the removal of streambed material caused by swiftly moving water from around bridge abutments or piers. Scour can become so deep that streambed material is removed from beneath the abutment or pier footings (known as undermining), compromising the integrity and stability of a bridge structure

    Yall have no idea the danger you were in on that bridge. Not only because it could have collapsed but because you would have no warning at all of a sudden onrush of oncoming water much higher than what you were seeing.
    With flooding like that, water can rise 2-4 feet in a minute...thats 2-8 feet in just 2 minutes. Enough to trap you on the bridge in 60 seconds and then sweep you away in 60 more.

      ⚽THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age that Christ brought to purify man with His word"
      (Almighty God, the Ruler of all things, exercises His kingly power from His throne. He rules the universe and all things, and He guides us throughout the world. Everything, from the environment that surrounds us to people, events, and things, exists by the permission of His throne. Praise God in the midst of your sickness and enjoy God in the midst of your sickness and enjoy God in the midst of your praise. Don't lose hope when you get sick keep searching and never give up, and God will shine His light on you. How much faith did Job have? Almighty God is an almighty healer! To dwell in sickness is to be sick, but to dwell in the spirit is to be healed. The resurrected life of Christ is in our will. God's word is truly sweet! God's word is effective medicine! It shames the devils and Satan! His word moves quickly to save our hearts! Faith is like a wooden bridge: Those who hold fast to life will find it difficult to cross, but those who are willing to sacrifice themselves will be able to cross, without falling and without fear. If people harbor timid and fearful thoughts, it is because they have been deceived by Satan, afraid that we will cross the bridge of faith to enter God. We must pray to God every moment that His light shines on us, rely on God every moment to remove Satan's poison from our will, practice in our spirit every moment how to get closer to God, and let the God ofgovernment to our whole being. 🙏)
      Almighty God said
      Almighty God, the Ruler of ALL THINGS, EXERCISES His AUTHORITY as KING from His THRONE. He RULES THE UNIVERSE and ALL THINGS, and He GUIDES us THROUGHOUT THE EARTH. We draw close to Him every moment, and face Him quietly, never wasting a moment, and we have lessons to learn all the time. 🙏
      Everything, from the environment that surrounds us to people, events, and things, exists by the permission of His throne. Do not let there be a grudge in your heart for any reason, otherwise God will not grant you His grace. When FEELINGS LAND, it is GOD'S LOVE, and surely His good DESIRE is INSIDE it. Although your BODY may be a little HARD, DO NOT ACCEPT IDEAS from SATAN. PRAISE GOD IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FEELINGS and ENJOY GOD IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FEELINGS and ENJOY GOD IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PRAISE. 🙏
      Don't lose hope when you have FEELING, keep SEARCHING and never GIVE UP, and GOD WILL SHOW YOU HIS LIGHT. How much FAITH did Job have? Almighty God is an ALMIGHTY HEALER! To dwell in the EMOTION is to HURT, but to dwell in the SPIRIT is to HEALING. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE BREATH LEFT, GOD WILL NOT LET YOU DIE. 🔴🙏
      It is in our WILL that we LIVE again -- the LIFE of CHRIST. It cannot be denied that our faith in the presence of God is lacking: May GOD grant us the WILL of TRUE FAITH in our WILL. GOD'S WORD IS TRULY SWEET! GOD'S WORD IS EFFECTIVE MEDICINE! 🙏💐
      It SHAMES the DEVIL and SATAN! UNDERSTANDING GOD'S WORD GIVES US SUPPORT. His WORD WORKS FAST to SAVE our HEARTS! 🙏🌷
      It REMOVES ALL THINGS and pacifies EVERYTHING. FAITH is like a wooden BRIDGE: Those who CLING TOO TIGHTLY to LIFE will find it DIFFICULT to CROSS it, BUT those who are WILLING to SACRIFICE themselves CAN CROSS, without FALLING and without FEAR. 🙏🌹
      If MAN harbors SHY and FEARFUL THOUGHTS, it is because SATAN HAS DECEIVED THEM, FEARING THAT WE WILL CROSS THE BRIDGE OF FAITH to ENTER GOD. SATAN TRIES EVERY POSSIBLE way to SEND us these ideas. 😪
      We must PRAY to GOD at every moment that His LIGHT SHINES us, HOPE on GOD at every moment to REMOVE SATAN'S POISON from our WILL, WORK with our SPIRIT at every MOMENT HOW TO BE CLOSE TO GOD, LET GOD HAVE authority toour whole PERSON. 🌹🙏
      From The WORD, Vol. 1. The Manifestation and Work of God. Utterances of Christ at the Beginning Chapter 6
      Fulfillment of (John 1:1) and (Ezekiel 2:9-10), (Revelation 18:9,13)
      The Savior has returned and He or Christ has fulfilled His building of the kingdom/church on top of the rock or standing in the worthy holy place in the air/UA-cam! When He came He fulfilled what was prophesied in the book of Revelation and from there it is recorded that He changed a new name and the name of His city from ("THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐) "The Epistle to the church of Philadelphia" "The one who overcomes is I will make a pillar totemple of my God, and he shall not be removed from it forever. I will engrave on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also engrave him with my new name. (Revelation 3:12). ... "The Reign of the Prince of Peace" "For a baby boy is born and he will rule over us. He is the wonderful counselor, the Almighty God, the eternal Father, the Prince of peace." (Isaiah 9:6). ... "For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their SHEPHERD. He will lead them to springs of life-giving water; and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes." (Revelation 7:17).
      "They said together, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the throne!" (Revelation 7:10). ... So God's sheep and the right people He created have come to His holy city the New Jerusalem that will only last on earth for 1,000 years "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD"💐

I know services... lots of them... are down - and will be down for a while. They are reporting it will be months before service is restored. I can't imagine! My worst storm was Sandy... no power for 29 days - and that was tough enough. I only survived because I had a big 3500 watt inverter and a couple of extra car batteries. I hooked them all up, started the car... the alternators did their thing... and FINALLY I could brew a pot of coffee. I wasn't all that prepared... but you guys seem like you would be better prepared. Just know there are people out here thinking of you... keeping you in our hearts and prayers. God speed!
