My heart was racing like crazy when y'all were picking that car up!! SO glad there were no bodies in it. But they could have washed out into the river. SO sad & horrible. God bless you all for the work you do.
At first I didn’t understand why they were looking in that car. When it dawned on me that they were checking for bodies, I realized how hard and sad these recovery efforts can be on the workers. God bless them all for their efforts and keep them safe! ❤
Im in Venice Florida about 4miles from the Gulf of Mexico and the house along the coast from these 2 storms are damn near totally destroyed. Sand 4ft deep in peoples houses houses totally gone its crazy lived here my whole life and aint never seen anything like this. And i know its the same for u guys. Take care and be safe and thanks for helping out.
thanks to all of you people coming together and helping may God please unite us all under a great nation , God Bless America once again we are sorry for walking away from you come back Lord and make us a fear of God nation , bless us please Lord please and keep them safe amen
Thank you for sharing a slice of 'normal mountain life' by including the fine young man and the group fishing. Your work is difficult and appreciated. The mountain and her people will not be defeated.
Thank you for doing the types of recovery efforts shown in this video. Also for showing folks going back towards a post disaster, life ever after like the fishing, saving t5ne deck, saving the car. (This is the first vehicle ive seen on video removed from a waterway; not to say it hasnt been happening.)
Thank you for cleaning up our rivers. Just spent half a day with chainsaw. Lots of trees down on our property. Luckily, no damage to home. My 60 something yo back can’t take much. I was having to sit down on the downed trees to cut by the end. Couldn’t bend over anymore! It will take me thru the spring to finish.
@ There are too many people out there that have more need. This hurricane caused so much trouble. So sad. I hope that habitat for humanity can help build homes. The roads and bridges will need rebuilding. And all the trash and trees removed from lakes and rivers. The river near us has flooded 4-5 times since 1980. But this one took out bridges, road caved into river, and left areas impassable for safety reasons. Pray that the response doesn’t go away. Help will be needed for a year at least.
I used to take clogging lessons at that fire department many moons ago. I see the doublewide that was on the other side of the river is totally gone, hope whoever lived there got out. Thanks for helping out in the Mayland area
What's clogging? - Yes, we were told that they actually just recently replaced the doublewide with a NEW doublewide that unfortunately washed down the river. The owners were ok.
Cant even begin to imagine the amount of work it will take to separate the materials, Metal, plastics burnable from non burnable let alone insuring there are no human remains in these pile of debris.
To be honest there's not a lot of separating with this kind of mass destruction. Winter is coming in fast and there's very few that FEMA is helping and about the same for insurance. The volunteers are pulling out. It is what it is. 😢
Great video-just sad to see all the destruction Helene caused! God Bless you all that are working hard to get things done.❤ Greetings from WASHINGTON state.

That Volvo Excavator sure is a nice piece of equipment
Thank you guys so very much for extending yourselves with taking time out to help others, bless all of you more than you'll ever know. You're very much appreciated from IN.
What a wonderful job these heavy equipment operators and their Crew are doing. May the good Lord Bless them abundantly. Lord we thank you for all you have done for us. Please Lord continue to give those workers the Strength to go out into the unknown everyday. Lord Bless all the families who have lost everything including those that got washed away into the unknown. Give them the Strength to deal with this Aftermath and beyond. I hope the boy that’s fishing that it’s for fun.
I don't think the greatest mechanic ever could do a will it run video and get that running ! God it looks like it rolled in a rock tumbler for a couple of hours !
WOW THATS WONDERFUL THAT THE FIREMEN ARE DOING THAT. THE KIDS NEED TO HAVE SOME SENCE OF NORMALCY IN TIMES LIKE THIS. THEIR WORLD HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AND MOST DONT UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON.
It’s full of toxins! The plastics plant released chemicals when buildings were damaged, other manufacturers plants had chemicals, the sewage plant, the raw sewage from septic tanks, the cars fuel, oil, transmission fluids, houses that were swept away had cleaning chemicals, deceased wildlife, and to put it delicately, loss of human life. Reports are coming in that trained cadaver dogs, 4 have died recently and 6 others are very sick not expected to live. They were searching in areas of water & mud. The silt is very toxic too. 12 horses rescued from flood water, tested off the charts of toxins and are very ill. These guys working in this need to have full mask respiratory with filters, changed every day, special haze at suits, boots and gloves. Volunteers black boots are turning green! Everyone’s health is at risk.
The 11 year old said they hadn't been getting any keepers .... Hopefully there will come a time that that particular body of water can be fished for eating again. Meanwhile, it doesnt hurt to perfect the skills amd do something beyond pure disaster recovery.
The water has never been this high and landslides don't really care 😮 Water is always going to find it's way from the mountain tops. I don't think some people are understanding what actually happened 😭

Hey @SharkSceapper there's a lot of scrap inside the firehouse. How about scrapping it there and DONATING the procedes to them? Show them THE GOOD STUFF then as they come across it then can save it?

It’s not just river beds - it’s landslides. Basically if the land is naturally flat, it is going to flood eventually, if there is bare rock above, it’s a land slide risk. Chimney Rock ticked both those boxes…
I'm curious, do you know if cadaver dogs have already gone through these piles of debris for human remains? I used to live in NC and we would go to the mountains all the time. Thank you for doing why you have been doing to help these communities get back on their feet.
Clean up this mess will take a while.Hoe operator and lineman hydro got work cut out.Calgary alberta 2013 floods most contractor and rental was out in field clean up.thanks video😮
They do make vacuum pumps for mud. They use them for “digless excavation” round sewers and underground power lines. The capacity is a bit limited however (about half a normal dump truck). The slightly more aggressive ones are used for opal mining where they vacuum the rock out of the mine and dump it on the surface.
Thank you Dear Jesus for caring people. God bless you all. Continued prayers for all families that were in the path of these devastating Hurricanes. ❤️🙏❤️
I hope they don't plan on eating any fish out of there. There's no telling what all is in the water. Prayers for all affected 🙏. God bless 🙏 all of you that are helping.
11 years old ❤ thank y'all so much for helping ❤
He’s the man
I knew someone would appreciate this. Knows what needs to be done. I definitely wasn't that mature at 11.
My family’s farm and homes are half a mile up the road from here, THANK YA’LL SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND HARD WORK!
Not a problem, we’re happy to help!

There’s gonna be some cars buried by silt and rock in remote corners of NC for a long time. Archaeologists might find them some day.
Will prly be in the history books for at after our time
Bodies too
Did any graveyard get washed out. Seen on television at least one casket floating down the river.

1: the smell
2: they look.

Will take months for the water to be safe again, and thats after they clean up the hazarderous materials from it.

The capacity is a bit limited however (about half a normal dump truck).
