      A team of guys who either have the skills or know someone who does, to build foot bridges and what they call river crossings, which can be driven over. Many families hadn't been able to drive out to go anywhere. A church had already built them a footbridge. The house on the hill was recently renovated, as was their bridge. It's a total loss after water flowed underneath it. FEMA only offered them $32,000. The homeowner gave his testimony later in the video. Jake's team came out to rebuild this larger neighborhood bridge (homeowners with an individual footbridge have to replace their own unless they have someone to offer labor and skills to help them, using donations given for whatever the people need. Note where he said FEMA is trying to prevent them from helping each other. FEMA are also saying no one perished in certain areas, but they know a man who did. The host of a video about a woman trying to house families on her land with a petting zoo to help fund their food and shelter.

    I'm in the uk, so this may well be a very naive question - is it possible to get mobile saw mills in there and use some of those downed trees to make log cabins for folks who now have no homes? The cold season is coming on so it may not be viable right away, but that loss of green gold and Autumnal beauty could be a solution. Couldn't it? My prayers go out to you all, those in need and those providing aide. 💜 Mother Nature is so powerful.

    I've been living in an 8x12 shed for just under 3 yrs while trying to build. Tiny homes, sheds & Amish log cabins are a savior to these people. Not ideal but doable. I don't have plumbing, I have a bucket & tent for an outhouse. Resilience is ingrained in Hillbillies. When there's a will, there IS a way. We can't progress bc of a shortage of materials but I'm good bc these ppl need them more than I do. Have no problem waiting. I know the need having grown up in LA, I've watched FEMA let Americans down, time & time again. FEMA - Fix Everything My Ass!

    Even while our evil government and media is doing nothing, the American hero's are stepping up to the task at hand to help ease the pain in this disaster for their fellow Americans. Thank you for keeping us informed of what is really going on.

    John, thanks so much for your coverage of Saluda. I know that you know, but Jake is a rock star, and there is a special spot saved in heaven for him.

    Such a beautiful song opener. I am amazed how regular American citizens are helping rebuild and volunteering! It's awful to say but this natural disaster and destruction has brought so many good people together! Thank you for the updates John. I'm in NH and truly do not know anyone personally in Appalachia but I care and I feel very helpless but want to help. It is terrible these victims can't get payout so they can rebuild. Ive donated cash as much as I can give and will continue watching and donating. God bless everyone. I say my prayers for all of the victims for strength.

    No questions these hurricanes are engineered , but this one had the opposite effect than what they wanted. People came together, showed tremendous solidarity and resilience. Let's keep it going. Together we can overcome anything. This won't be the last time.

    Concrete Washington here and a bit of a backyard songwriter.
    My Hope is that the songwriters would get together and get the CDs out to the people. That would be a wonderful fundraiser!!!

    Thanks for the stories. Ive heard some great stories and Jake from around Saluda is a good man.
    I live in rural Burke Co and tons of local grading businesses are stepping up and have been working for free, 95% dont get the exposure and thanks.
    Bunch of great folks all around. From the local population whos been mudding and mucking, to the heavy equipment operators local and from afar, the linesman, the carpenters who rebuild, the crews re-establishing coms, the fine folks cooking for us, the great people organizing donations and distributing them- everyone is tired, worn out and exhausted, yet we keep on and wouldn't be able to do it with everyones selfless attitudes and willingness to work as a team

  • @judyhawkins6584

    Getting to see all the people helping rebuild - using their skills and equipment and willingness to work to help put a stranger's life back together, and know how much of it is made possible by small money donations coming in from all over - you're doing great work documenting it so well, and putting it out. And that song is great.

    Thank you for helping our mountain community. I know it is greatly appreciated. I do not know what the people in these communities would do without your amazing help. I can't believe the damage left behind from this terrible storm. Please be safe and take care. Thank you again for all of your hard work.
