What a beautiful couple inside and out. Thank you for your message and bravery. Thank you for saving your cats. Thank you for who you are. I pray for all in the community of these fine souls. God help us.
@@slipzZzH No I think she and her husband (along with many others in that area) are just completely devastated, emotionally, mentally, and physically. This is NOT about anyone there in that area previously having felt "privileged". I'm surprised you don't seem to have more compassion for people who have lost everything except (luckily) their pets and their lives. Criticizing people who have lost everything and who are emotionally devastated is not a good way for a person to be acting.

My partner hasn’t been able to reach out to his grandma. She lives in the mountains in Transylvania county. Power and phone service is non existent in those areas right now :( we hope she’s okay 💔 Edit: we heard back from her!

Thank you for reporting this! I'm in Chesnee, SC. We've been without power since Friday morning and may be without until early next week. We're better off than most. My cousin who is pregnant, and the whole town of Boone, NC are trapped. Thank you to all who are volunteering to get us supplies and power!! We appreciate you all so much. And thank you for the many prayers that are keeping us going.
Having lived through hurricanes IRMA & followed by MARIA (2017) in the British Virgin Islands, in the Caribbean, our hearts are with you all. Our little island was decimated !!! Like you we had no cell phone, drinking water, power. It took years to recover. Many here still experience PTSD especially when watching hurricane tracks off the coast of Africa crossing the Atlantic Ocean. You are not alone. It will get better. It is going to take time.
@@beaulieuc8910 their houses, generators etc were washed away or covered with debris. There is nothing left to salvage. These 2 kids are totally shell shocked. I am thinking of all the climate migrants….there are several in my town from the Paradise fire in California. I wish I had the power to help them and I am glad I can make some small monetary donation. Hmmm, I wonder if the Cajun Army has a donation site. They help many stranded people
@@WinifredSmith-ew6lt If you want to help them , get literate and quit repeating propaganda . America's climate actually used to be WARMER . Weather w*rs using electro - magnetics are no secret to grown ups . I live sometimes in SNOW country , Pittsburgh Pa . , where the oldest home is the Neville House , built on an Indian encampment . When the Indians inhabited that area in the 1100's it was WARMER . If bad weather bugs you rally against High Frequency Audio Auroral Research Project type installations used for weather wars ! The Neville House at Woodville Plantation sells HISTORY BOOKS , it was part of the Whiskey Rebellion under George Washington . European history also shows Earth used to be WARMER , because people sleeping in castles used to sleep in large halls , but when it became COLDER , people slept in SMALLER rooms for warmth !
People get criticized for living too close to the water in Hurricane prone areas and these people were high up in the mountains possibly hoping to never face a monster storm but yet homes were still swept away. So crazy and sad! 😔😔💔💔
Never would our sister's and brothers in western nc . Expect this . I am coastal nc eastern one hour from the beach . We are the ones who usually who get hit . Yiu would expect for the hurricane to slow down . But the dam broke ! As it did or the release with Floyd. God bless you . Praying
@@ilsavv I have lived in the might and foothills my entire life as does everyone I know, IN this area if western NC as well as upstate SC about 45 min south. I have never, nor has anyone I know including my 74 year old grandma who spent her life here, seen or faced danger from a natural disaster here. I moved to the midwest recently, tornados all the time, you live coastal you have flooding and hurricanes. You cannot really get much safer, especially on the east coast than the mountains
@@ilsavvI wouldn’t consider the Appalachian Mountains unsafe, they are ancient and eroded down to basically hills at this point. Hurricanes aren’t safe regardless
Living in valleys is a guarantee to get floods. And strong winds are common up here.. mountain folks will get through this, people who moved here not so much.
I'm friends with Tyler Covarrubias' mother. Their real go fund me account is under his name. They lost everything. Thank you so much for even considering to help. God bless!
I've lived through 17 floods I am 67 years old I have PTSD every time it rains hard trust me it's terrible it will really get to you... So I get it it's real..
So sorry that you have been exposed to so much trauma. I can relate. I lived in Florida for years and then in tornado alley. It does take its toll on you mentally…gone are the days when I can feel comfortable when the wind is blowing or when it is raining hard. Peace to you.❤
I have lived in Florida since I was 4 and experienced many hurricanes in my 32 years but Hurricane Ian was the one that gave me PTSD. I thought I had seen it all… Ian made impact in my area and the winds was unbelievable…. I am still dealing with hurricane damages. I still have a tarp on my roof and I am currently in a legal battle with my insurance company. Ever since Hurricane Ian, strong rains triggers a panic attack. This is coming from someone who use to love the rain.
Please listen to the HAM Radio operators. Many people who live very remote need help. Also a shout out a mule ranch in NC. That are going to start a mule train to get in very remote areas
Yes! Hurray for the Ham Radio operators. My late Dad is a "silent key" now. W3IGU. He used to go to Ham Field Days where station operators set up in a field and try to contact as many stations as they can - practicing for such an emergency.
So sorry for your loss! If you can get help regarding trauma do so!! I lost my home in Hurricane Sandy and saw my entire neighborhood look like a war zone. I believe I stuffed my emotions to put my nose to the grindstone to try and get things sorted out and then I just buried my feelings. Now seeing all this devastation everything is all coming back to me in flashes of what I experienced. I've been having meltdowns just seeing the devastation which is worse then what I went through. My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering from this horrendous hurricane.
I went through the May 3rd 1999 tornado and it just created a sloth that was a mile or so wide and scoured the ground, everyone was so displaced. It probably took 5 years before you didn't Flinch every time they said there was a storm coming. So yeah it's PTSD , seeing what has happened to all these poor people you just cannot help but feel it deeply because you've been there. When you get hit like this it takes a long time to recover
This is heartbreaking. That couple was so traumatized and it’s frightening to think of how helpless those people in remote locations are. Prayers for all the people trapped in remote locations.
My hearts goes out to these people. They not only lost their homes; but, probably their liveyhood, as well. Everyone needs to donate; find an honest non-profit and donate.
It would be better if they indicated, a “customer” (for electricity) means a residence, business, etc., so each “customer” for residences means a family/household-likely more than 1 human being. That said, the power companies doesn’t know how many people are receiving electricity at each residence; so 100,000 “customers” could mean 100,000 to 500,000 people impacted.
Not just that. Insurance companies are screwing people over hard. I heard that even the few people who got flood insurance are getting denied for not having storm surge insurance or vice versa.
Thanks to the young couple for saving their cats and not leaving them behind. This is a terrible flood and the damage will take a long time just to get cleaned up let alone rebuild. This was such a heavy storm that it flooded areas not usually flooded. This happened to people in Colorado when storms stalled in our area with such heavy rain that we were flooded even though we were above flood zone range. It’s a mess to clean up. I wish this couple good luck. We need to support the city of Asheville. Where do we send our dollars?
People need to stop berating responders for not doing things fast enough you see how difficult it is to get around they are doing their best. Many of these stranded are in very remote areas high up
@@maciedixon3983That's not totally true. Many people who showed their videos right after the aftermath said there were helicopters everywhere and many were dropping supplies. You could also see it happening during their videos.
Please let's get everybody with drones in this area search and make sure where there are people stranded I think the community needs to get involved especially with drone technology. Hopefully people will read this message pass it along to your friends that you know that have drones see if they can go and help in this situation there's several states where it would be much needed and appreciated I'm sure God Bless the people in this area this has to be utter Devastation for not just their beautiful home but everybody else that they know and love that was affected
@@buzz5969 Have you been watching the wizard of Oz again ? Don't listen to the man behind the curtain , and those ruby slippers weren't really magic either ! Show some empathy , if you can get off the dr*gs !
@@lutinab5265 Im a troll but TBH I am bewildered by someone having PTSD over a storm! Served 26+ years in the military, two conflicts, one war, survived numerous typhoons, two of which were CAT5 and I dont even have PTSD! How is that even possible?🤨🧐🥸
I feel so sorry for this Couple. I feel especially sorry for the older people that are stuck there and to whom cannot even walk to a helicopter to get saved. I can’t even imagine the horrendous situation that many of these people are in these beautiful remote areas. I pray they will feel comforted wherever they are. This is another reason why we need to be focused on Americans who need support and not be naïve that we have all the money in the world for everybody else. We should be focused at home with resources and support on all levels.
AS A. 65 YEAR SURVIVOR OF NC HURRICANES, I HAVE BEEN PRAYING OVER HELENE SINCE IT FORMED IN THE ATLANTIC & KNEW IT WAS DANGEROUS TO LIFE. I PRAYED ANGELS OVER US ALL & NOW I SEE THE MIRACLES JESUS & GOD DID. AND NOW YOU LIZZIE & YOUR HUSBAND ARE THE MIRACLES I ASKED GOD TO HAVE MERCY ON, I KNOW THOSE ANGELS USHERED THOSE ONES TO HEAVEN TOO. MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD BE WITH ALL OF YOU ALWAYS!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
God does not exist. Why would God allow good people to die or lose everything they have? While those in government who claim they are religious but aren't, are safe from loss of their homes and lives. God Does Not Exist. The sooner you accept it, the sooner we can heal as humans
You know what's wrong with America? We rush to inject politics into the conversation whenever devastation hits our communities instead of recognizing that we are all human beings and Americans. We should unite during these difficult times.
I agree. Let's take a moment to thank all those folks at emergency and weather services coming in from all over the country. Let's also thank the Democrats for keeping the government running this month so that those services would be available now.
I agree. I saw a video of a man saying CERN made this hurricane to get rid of red state people 🤦🏻♀️. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I also saw some that stayed because they thought the same, and they kept their kids and dogs with them. Mother nature doesn't care if it's a red or blue state.
Having been through several catastrophic disasters, jumping back in to help can really help mentally. That doesn’t mean therapy later is great but working thru the disaster with your hands and mind, sharing with survivors and rescue workers helps day by day. You see the progress physically as well as mentally. Breaking down here & there. Blessings
IMPORTANT ... If you plan to rebuild you must start to pull out all wet sheetrock and any insulation that is wet or got wet... Tear it out immediately. Start the drying the airing keep the windows doors all open... open all closet doors attic doors basement doors air air air.. you can start spraying hydrogen peroxide on all surfaces... right away.... bleach is okay but peroxide is better... look up proper mixture amounts... it is paramount you get those areas sprayed down right away.... the water and all it touched is ow contaminated.. I have lived through 17 floods I know how to rebuild how to clean up how to save lots of time money and property,., I can't be there to help everyone so please share this... I am seriously trying to help the best I can... Cut out all wet lumber not the studs not support beams you can use a skill saw to cur the lower portion of the walls out.. Pull out the wet insulation right away use gloves and mask... be careful do not delay hours can make all the difference in the world if you save it or it starts to mold mildew rot..
@@raaawkstaaarnot all homes are gone, it’s important info for those who have never flooded before, you never know who’s looking at the comments be kind☺️
We were in Ian, took our cats out day of hurricane from Venice into North Port, that hurricane went straight into North Port, scariest thing we ever seen. Water in minutes were up to the doors of the homes. We were in a vrbo. Roofs comong off, hearing metal twist, trees crushing buildings, terrifying. We were stuck 6 days after . Everyone was. After this hurricane we left Florida. PTSD sticks with you. I had nightmares for weeks. Praying for them. For everyone affected by Helene
I live in a small town outside Chattanooga... Helene was originally tracked going through Chattanooga with the dirty side of the storm. People here are good people, and many are thankful it didn't hit our areas, but it's just like another day to most. They have forgotten that WE could've been Chimney Rock or other areas in NC, right now. They have forgotten that it was a good idea to cancel school on Friday. I wish I could physically help this couple and the residents of Chimney Rock. It's a beautiful area, we've camped and hiked there. Don't give up guys! There are many states around you waiting with open arms.
There was a week of warning, and most of the damage was done by a dam, breaking not the storm, you all are so disingenuous because you want your narrative to be true
So sorry your local government did not warn you. I’m in Southern Indiana and knew what was about to happens days before the hit. I knew it would be catastrophic and life ending. I thought others would know too but that is not the case. Preventable deaths. The only action I would have taken would be to drive out of the area. Flee like mad. But I am well aware folks can’t all do that. So sad.
You must not watch the local news,which would be the same news outlets as me here in the Upstate on the NC border. They gave us plenty of warning, you must've not been paying attention. This was an once a century type of event and an act of God. Nothing no one could have done
I can't comprehend the devastation NC has endured. I have nothing to give but many prayers. I'm so happy this couple made it out safely. God kept you safe so He will keep you going forward.
It's more important to spend taxpayer money to help the Americans impacted by the storm and not send 2.8BILLION DOLLARS to Ukraine. But Joe and Kamala sent more money to Ukraine instead of helping Americans. As usual.
I am so sorry about that terrible experience. 😢 But I am glad they survived, are not injured (at least on their body), and saved the cats. All the best to all of you. 🙏
Y'all need to come up to ashe county and watauga county and wilkes. It's so awful! I live in wilkes, and while we still have some roads closed and mudslides in areas, it's nothing compared to ashe and watauga. My family's road is gone and I still haven't been able to get in touch with my grandma and have no way to get to her.
The lady made me cry you could hear the horror in her voice the empathy runs so deep with people that care about other people. This is why it’s important we don’t have someone in office that lacks the compassion or the wisdom to even understand that it’s hurricane season. I will never forget the imagine of him throwing paper towel rolls, the most disrespectful thing he could’ve done. You cannot deny climate change because it’s here it’s happening and it’s effecting everyone.
Much strenght and Comfort to the couple and also for everyone that suffering from what has happend what i see in this video and to the families who lost people in this storm ..
What an impressive couple! They know what matters and they are self aware about their mental health. I truly hope and pray that you find your neighbors safe and that you get the help you need. Keep telling your story and keep asking for help. Much love to the both of you.
Thank you for sharing your story. We live in Greensboro, NC and love Chimney Rock. Please know the response in Greensboro to help has been so unbelievable. I’m seeing trucks everywhere with water and food and caring Americans who want to help. May we all come together and help restore Western, NC.
My aunt can’t get out. Both bridges to get out to the wider world, in either direction, are gone. The house is on spring feed reservoir that my grandpa built, and she’s got propane, but maybe only a week worth of food. No one is even talking about the county she lives in because it’s more remote. Chimney Rock is the big city in comparison.
My town is in the middle of it. We didn't do as bad but all around us it's bad. Life here as we knew it is over. My heart hurts so badly for everything I'm seeing. I have water damage and will need to move. There will not be housing. We all feel so lost.
So sad for this young couple. Thank God they were rescued n their kitties. I pray they get the help they need n the many others to start over. God Bless them all .
Upstate SC here, don't think most people realize how bad this storm was. It did so much damagenin SC alone. That couple in interview are in Boiling Springs, Spartanburg County. I'm about 20 minutes from there, and let me tell you, we got HAMMERED around here. Worst part of storm came right through this part of state. Hopefully that couple is in someplace with power, because almost all the upstate went dark. Cell service has been bad, if you can get service. Even if you have service, it's almost impossible to use browser or anything to look up info. We were lucky that most of the damage in the upstate was from fallen trees, but even where that couple is now, it got real bad. NC needs serious help now. We here in SC are recovering, and small businesses are cooking up their food and just giving it all away to feed people without power. NC needs as much attention as we can give them. The devastation in western NC is total. I can't believe many places I've been to up there are completely destroyed. I'm worried that the number of missing persons will go up as we start getting more info. It's been very hard to get any news out of these areas due to no cell service.
A lot of those small towns are not used to getting hurricanes that's why this one caught so many people off guard this is why it devastated small cities and towns
But the 20 inches of rain was forecasted for days before hit. I just don’t fully understand how people didn’t know. But then again, if they just don’t follow things like that then the local government should have warned everyone. The information/forecast was well known days before.
@@LifebyLisa4444I can actually show you what was forcasted, as me and my grandma were sharing it back and forth before hand. Idc WHAT they are claiming, the forecast was 2-4 inches of rain and up to 40 mph winds. Then right at Thursday night and Friday morning, they began raising it AS IT WAS ALREADY FLOODING. Also, we DO get hurricanes, nearly every single year, they are just tropical storms by then. And they absolutely never do this, not ever, this is the only time this has happened even close to this in over 200 years, and the first time it's happened LIKE this this bad ever. I watch the weather literally daily, even multiple times daily, for my area, for the counties my family is in, it's a thing we do. We absolutely did not have a warning, and I have screen shots of our weather from those days from where I sent it back and forth to prove it
Actually we DO get the tropical storms from hurricanes all the time. It's like an expected thing The difference is that they absolutely have never done this. Not ever. A lot of people seem to have the idea that this is just par for the course of a hurricane and no one had ever experienced one and therefore didn't know how to prepare-but the reality is much worse We get tropical storms from the hurricanes regularly, and they always result in just a rough storm, like the ones that wake you up from loud thunder at night, blow around some trash cans, some rain, and they pass So everyone, meteorologists included, expected what has happened every other time when a hurricane turns to a tropical storm and travels inland. But no one expected this. Even meteorologists were in the streets shocked. They didn't warn for evacuation until the flooding was already happening. And for the record, "flash flood warnings" also have never meant anything here. They typically mean either nothing happens, or maybe water will pool up to below your ankles in some areas, or river levels rise, but never enough to make anyone have to fear for their safety, or property. It's not that NC didn't know what to do in a tropical storm, it's that they DID know what to do in a tropical storm, and this one was just different
Thank you for telling your story..I am so sorry for all your loss and the trauma you are going thru. I live in ETennessee and there are so many like you who are suffering here as well..i wish you good health and safety in the days ahead..
My heart goes out to all sigh... I cant imagine how they feel. As someone who experiences this in the Caribbean i pray they can rebuild their homes and maybe save some memories ❤
We need to think about how we rebuild. This is the n ew normal. Nobody should ever have to go through what these people are going through. No part of the country will be spared from climate change. We can plan for it, and rebuild understanding this new dynamic.
@@onion6foot You can build houses that are round, where hurricane force winds go around it rather it up against angles. Don't build so close to water sources. If building in a valley, build on stilts or homes that can rise with the water. Don't get rid of land lines for phones. Have 'several' small multipurpose community resource centers that can be used for disasters such as this (with supplies) and pads on top for helicopters. Most importantly, don't build big, meaning, it's a blessing those rains came down on dirt, trees, natural areas so "nature" can soak it up. If this were a city with a lot of paved streets, the flooding would be worse...no place for the water to go.
Not knowing what their going to do the rest of their lives is bad enough. But these people don't know from day to day and that is terrifying. Good luck to them all.
The North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund. It takes donations and distributes them among recongized, legitimate charities to provide food, water, medical and emergency supplies.
Meanwhile - thanks to Joe and Kamala - 2.8 BILLION DOLLARS is going to Ukraine and not a single red cent is going to the people devastated by this natural disaster.
It was a tropical storm that hit NC, it was a damn breaking that did all this, but you all are so thirsty to get the narrative that you don’t care about being honest
@@TimSeburn not really, this was the result of a dam breaking, not the tropical storm that came through. But as always, you all will start with what you believe first and then make it rational later
Worsening? You mean going back to the default state of the earth? We're ending a mini-ice age. There has never been, nor will there ever be, anything humans can do about our elliptical orbit around the sun or the shift in climate that it causes.
Yes, because everyone had missing persons, communications were down. There is a list, but they cannot do welfare checks on tens of thousands while there are still actively families and children in dire situations needing to have their lives saved immediately.
@@Danks-vz5xz the state government had nothing to do with it. This was unprecedented, even meteorologists were shocked So many who don't know ANYTHING about the situation have opinions
Omg! I just moved from my beautiful city, not to far away from these horrible events were hit hard, however looking at the disaster in Asheville NC has been really hard, may God be with all. I'm not able to contact anyone 😢😢😢
Being cut off from electricity and water for 5 days from a flood was bad enough. Red cross landed helicopters in the nearby soccer field and were able to bring us food and water in dry ice coolers. Our house was an island, basement flooded a few feet, 1 bridge washed out but for the most part we just had a big mess to clean up. A few people lost their house because it flooded past the 2nd or 3rd story roof so by comparison we felt lucky. Almost 15 years later and the town is finally somewhat back to normal but everyone still remembers and talks about those days. I can't imagine when the infostructure is just... gone. Even for us it felt like we were on our own to fend for ourselves and we really struggled even with the help of good neighbors. If this stuff is going to be happening more and more frequently we really need to figure out better ways to get people out, especially before everything hits. The issue is that once people realize they do need to evacuate it's usually far too late and the easiest or typical routes of travel are already unpassable. The moment we had to take backroads and barely made it home from the school, we should of packed our bags then and there and left for higher ground. We waited and then it was too late and the next thing we know the fire dept is using resources to come get us because what we thought was a few inches of water in our driveway was actually several feet deep of water that had washed out the driveway and adjacent sidewalk and was moving so quickly it was moving ENTIRE trees that had fallen including one that got slammed through one side of a church down the road and right out the other side. Wild stuff I don't wish anyone to experience in their lifetime.
Dementia Joe assures Americans that Hurricane Helene will be used as an excuse to raise taxes, then blame Trump and half of the USA. At the start of his remarks, Biden assured that he and his team were "in constant contact with governors, mayors and local leaders" regarding Hurricane Helene. Where are the cameras?

I've lived through 17 floods I am 67 years old I have PTSD every time it rains hard trust me it's terrible it will really get to you... So I get it it's real..
Ptsd. Yeah. That's my big concern. Thousands more will join my headspace. I'm so sorry you've been thru so much. Prayers...
So sorry that you have been exposed to so much trauma. I can relate. I lived in Florida for years and then in tornado alley. It does take its toll on you mentally…gone are the days when I can feel comfortable when the wind is blowing or when it is raining hard. Peace to you.❤
❤
God be with you❣🙏
I have lived in Florida since I was 4 and experienced many hurricanes in my 32 years but Hurricane Ian was the one that gave me PTSD. I thought I had seen it all… Ian made impact in my area and the winds was unbelievable…. I am still dealing with hurricane damages. I still have a tarp on my roof and I am currently in a legal battle with my insurance company. Ever since Hurricane Ian, strong rains triggers a panic attack. This is coming from someone who use to love the rain.
Please listen to the HAM Radio operators. Many people who live very remote need help.
Also a shout out a mule ranch in NC. That are going to start a mule train to get in very remote areas
Meanwhile, the current administration just sent 2.8 billion more of your dollars to Ukraine instead of helping the Americans who have lost everything.
I was thinking last night that miles are the best option for clearing trees, etc is to use mule teams. They don't need gas to work!
Slava 🇷🇺
Yes! Hurray for the Ham Radio operators. My late Dad is a "silent key" now. W3IGU. He used to go to Ham Field Days where station operators set up in a field and try to contact as many stations as they can - practicing for such an emergency.
cool
So sorry for your loss! If you can get help regarding trauma do so!! I lost my home in Hurricane Sandy and saw my entire neighborhood look like a war zone. I believe I stuffed my emotions to put my nose to the grindstone to try and get things sorted out and then I just buried my feelings. Now seeing all this devastation everything is all coming back to me in flashes of what I experienced. I've been having meltdowns just seeing the devastation which is worse then what I went through. My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering from this horrendous hurricane.
I went through the May 3rd 1999 tornado and it just created a sloth that was a mile or so wide and scoured the ground, everyone was so displaced. It probably took 5 years before you didn't Flinch every time they said there was a storm coming. So yeah it's PTSD , seeing what has happened to all these poor people you just cannot help but feel it deeply because you've been there. When you get hit like this it takes a long time to recover

This is heartbreaking. That couple was so traumatized and it’s frightening to think of how helpless those people in remote locations are. Prayers for all the people trapped in remote locations.
My heart aches for her💔and for him being strong for his family. They represent so so so many others😢
I pray for healing for them and all affected by this and that all their needs to be met.
My hearts goes out to these people. They not only lost their homes; but, probably their liveyhood, as well. Everyone needs to donate; find an honest non-profit and donate.
There are no honest non-profits
@@Danks-vz5xz Unfortunately, I must agree. Corruption is rampant everywhere.
I donated to Samaritan's Purse. I feel they are honest.

Please stop referring to people without power as "customers." These are human beings! Something is very wrong with the state of our world these days.
It would be better if they indicated, a “customer” (for electricity) means a residence, business, etc., so each “customer” for residences means a family/household-likely more than 1 human being. That said, the power companies doesn’t know how many people are receiving electricity at each residence; so 100,000 “customers” could mean 100,000 to 500,000 people impacted.
I was getting a little annoyed by that too, but I think with her language/accent she was just trying to explain it the best way she could.
The news lady interview bad. She needs to be re trained.
Not just that. Insurance companies are screwing people over hard. I heard that even the few people who got flood insurance are getting denied for not having storm surge insurance or vice versa.
The pain in her eyes.
Thanks to the young couple for saving their cats and not leaving them behind. This is a terrible flood and the damage will take a long time just to get cleaned up let alone rebuild. This was such a heavy storm that it flooded areas not usually flooded. This happened to people in Colorado when storms stalled in our area with such heavy rain that we were flooded even though we were above flood zone range. It’s a mess to clean up. I wish this couple good luck. We need to support the city of Asheville. Where do we send our dollars?
People need to stop berating responders for not doing things fast enough you see how difficult it is to get around they are doing their best. Many of these stranded are in very remote areas high up
Im gonna criticize them for not getting the military out sooner. Only did It today. People died up there standee by too slow action.
@@maciedixon3983That's not totally true. Many people who showed their videos right after the aftermath said there were helicopters everywhere and many were dropping supplies. You could also see it happening during their videos.
@@caitlin.6167 and many arent. You don’t understand rural areas.
I love love love the couple with the cats! I’m so glad they took their pets instead of other things! I would love to donate to the couple. ❤❤

NC will never be the same again. The geography has changed. It is so sad. I am heartbroken the people and the beautiful mountains.
Please let's get everybody with drones in this area search and make sure where there are people stranded I think the community needs to get involved especially with drone technology. Hopefully people will read this message pass it along to your friends that you know that have drones see if they can go and help in this situation there's several states where it would be much needed and appreciated I'm sure God Bless the people in this area this has to be utter Devastation for not just their beautiful home but everybody else that they know and love that was affected
Instead of helping the USA, the Biden/Harris campaign just sent 2.8 BILLION more to Ukraine. They haven't even MENTIONED the hurricane or victims.

I feel so sorry for this Couple. I feel especially sorry for the older people that are stuck there and to whom cannot even walk to a helicopter to get saved. I can’t even imagine the horrendous situation that many of these people are in these beautiful remote areas. I pray they will feel comforted wherever they are.
This is another reason why we need to be focused on Americans who need support and not be naïve that we have all the money in the world for everybody else. We should be focused at home with resources and support on all levels.
Huge love from Puerto Rico
Such a lovely, caring couple!
AS A. 65 YEAR SURVIVOR OF NC HURRICANES, I HAVE BEEN PRAYING OVER HELENE SINCE IT FORMED IN THE ATLANTIC & KNEW IT WAS DANGEROUS TO LIFE. I PRAYED ANGELS OVER US ALL & NOW I SEE THE MIRACLES JESUS & GOD DID. AND NOW YOU LIZZIE & YOUR HUSBAND ARE THE MIRACLES I ASKED GOD TO HAVE MERCY ON, I KNOW THOSE ANGELS USHERED THOSE ONES TO HEAVEN TOO. MAY THE SPIRIT OF GOD BE WITH ALL OF YOU ALWAYS!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
God does not exist. Why would God allow good people to die or lose everything they have? While those in government who claim they are religious but aren't, are safe from loss of their homes and lives.
God
Does
Not
Exist.
The sooner you accept it, the sooner we can heal as humans
I live in North Georgia. We just heard from close friends near Asheville. Thankfully they're safe, the devastation in their voices though.....💔
You know what's wrong with America? We rush to inject politics into the conversation whenever devastation hits our communities instead of recognizing that we are all human beings and Americans. We should unite during these difficult times.
I agree.
Let's take a moment to thank all those folks at emergency and weather services coming in from all over the country.
Let's also thank the Democrats for keeping the government running this month so that those services would be available now.
Exactly 💯💯💯
Fact.
Please help our people!
I agree. I saw a video of a man saying CERN made this hurricane to get rid of red state people 🤦🏻♀️. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I also saw some that stayed because they thought the same, and they kept their kids and dogs with them. Mother nature doesn't care if it's a red or blue state.
Chimney Rock was a beautiful place. Visited in 1997. PRAYERS FOR ALL WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. AMEN!!!
That young lovely couple can tell they are shell shocked. God bless them may they rebuild back even better.
I pray for healing and strength for all those who have been affected physically and emotionally 🙏💯
Keeping the missing and families of the departed in continual Prayer , We need to rebuild on Higher ground . No mater how long it takes , we will .
My only question is how many homeless ppl that were killed nobody's talking about. I'm sure the number is way higher.
True
We stand behind our fellow Americans ..
And how many of the missing are no longer with us. Or will never be found.
Their are alot of people who live by choice OFF the GRID.
Exactly 💯
Having been through several catastrophic disasters, jumping back in to help can really help mentally. That doesn’t mean therapy later is great but working thru the disaster with your hands and mind, sharing with survivors and rescue workers helps day by day. You see the progress physically as well as mentally. Breaking down here & there. Blessings
I was in chimney rock many years ago and it was just an absolutely magical place. It’s heartbreaking to hear that this is happening.
"The authorities will do EVERYTHING they can". How can she say that with a straight face?
Practice
My condolences to all the families 🙏🌹
Praying 🙏

IMPORTANT ... If you plan to rebuild you must start to pull out all wet sheetrock and any insulation that is wet or got wet... Tear it out immediately. Start the drying the airing keep the windows doors all open... open all closet doors attic doors basement doors air air air.. you can start spraying hydrogen peroxide on all surfaces... right away.... bleach is okay but peroxide is better... look up proper mixture amounts... it is paramount you get those areas sprayed down right away.... the water and all it touched is ow contaminated.. I have lived through 17 floods I know how to rebuild how to clean up how to save lots of time money and property,., I can't be there to help everyone so please share this... I am seriously trying to help the best I can... Cut out all wet lumber not the studs not support beams you can use a skill saw to cur the lower portion of the walls out.. Pull out the wet insulation right away use gloves and mask... be careful do not delay hours can make all the difference in the world if you save it or it starts to mold mildew rot..
many of the homes are GONE, nothing to air out and WTF is looking for rebuilding tips on a news thread? SMH
@@raaawkstaaarnot all homes are gone, it’s important info for those who have never flooded before, you never know who’s looking at the comments be kind☺️
@@raaawkstaaar Where else should he post? Why are you being so critical of someone trying to help?
@@raaawkstaaar not all are gone - and don't put people down for giving helpful encouraging tips
We were in Ian, took our cats out day of hurricane from Venice into North Port, that hurricane went straight into North Port, scariest thing we ever seen. Water in minutes were up to the doors of the homes. We were in a vrbo. Roofs comong off, hearing metal twist, trees crushing buildings, terrifying. We were stuck 6 days after . Everyone was. After this hurricane we left Florida. PTSD sticks with you. I had nightmares for weeks. Praying for them. For everyone affected by Helene
I live in a small town outside Chattanooga... Helene was originally tracked going through Chattanooga with the dirty side of the storm. People here are good people, and many are thankful it didn't hit our areas, but it's just like another day to most. They have forgotten that WE could've been Chimney Rock or other areas in NC, right now. They have forgotten that it was a good idea to cancel school on Friday. I wish I could physically help this couple and the residents of Chimney Rock. It's a beautiful area, we've camped and hiked there. Don't give up guys! There are many states around you waiting with open arms.
I live in Hendersonville, there was no ample warning. They should have evacuated people on Thursday instead of Friday morning
There was a week of warning, and most of the damage was done by a dam, breaking not the storm, you all are so disingenuous because you want your narrative to be true
I agree. I am in NC. It seems a lack of imagination that this was even possible.
So sorry your local government did not warn you. I’m in Southern Indiana and knew what was about to happens days before the hit. I knew it would be catastrophic and life ending. I thought others would know too but that is not the case. Preventable deaths. The only action I would have taken would be to drive out of the area. Flee like mad. But I am well aware folks can’t all do that. So sad.
You must not watch the local news,which would be the same news outlets as me here in the Upstate on the NC border. They gave us plenty of warning, you must've not been paying attention. This was an once a century type of event and an act of God. Nothing no one could have done
They didn't know it was going to be this bad until it was, even meteorologists were shocked.
I can't comprehend the devastation NC has endured. I have nothing to give but many prayers. I'm so happy this couple made it out safely. God kept you safe so He will keep you going forward.
It's important to follow up with reporting after the storm. Thank you.
It's more important to spend taxpayer money to help the Americans impacted by the storm and not send 2.8BILLION DOLLARS to Ukraine. But Joe and Kamala sent more money to Ukraine instead of helping Americans. As usual.
What a great reporter
I am so sorry about that terrible experience. 😢
But I am glad they survived, are not injured (at least on their body), and saved the cats.
All the best to all of you. 🙏
Love from Puerto Rico! We know and understand how terrible it is now! You got this!❤
Praying for this young couple.❤
Y'all need to come up to ashe county and watauga county and wilkes. It's so awful! I live in wilkes, and while we still have some roads closed and mudslides in areas, it's nothing compared to ashe and watauga.

The lady made me cry you could hear the horror in her voice the empathy runs so deep with people that care about other people. This is why it’s important we don’t have someone in office that lacks the compassion or the wisdom to even understand that it’s hurricane season. I will never forget the imagine of him throwing paper towel rolls, the most disrespectful thing he could’ve done. You cannot deny climate change because it’s here it’s happening and it’s effecting everyone.
Much strenght and Comfort to the couple and also for everyone that suffering from what has happend what i see in this video and to the families who lost people in this storm ..
What an impressive couple! They know what matters and they are self aware about their mental health. I truly hope and pray that you find your neighbors safe and that you get the help you need. Keep telling your story and keep asking for help. Much love to the both of you.
Thank you for sharing your story. We live in Greensboro, NC and love Chimney Rock. Please know the response in Greensboro to help has been so unbelievable. I’m seeing trucks everywhere with water and food and caring Americans who want to help. May we all come together and help restore Western, NC.
Crushing emotionally to watch this! God protect these people!
I lost everything except the clothes on my back. Don't despair. You can rebuild. One foot in front of the other.
You are in our prayers.
I did once too and now I have more than I ever had, have faith and keep your minds on good things no matter what happens
Now this reporter this is the way to cover this.
My aunt can’t get out. Both bridges to get out to the wider world, in either direction, are gone. The house is on spring feed reservoir that my grandpa built, and she’s got propane, but maybe only a week worth of food. No one is even talking about the county she lives in because it’s more remote. Chimney Rock is the big city in comparison.
keep on spreading your post..i am praying for her and all people affected..stay strong🙏❤️
@@DeeDee-el8bdStay strong?? You voted for this atrocity, there are bodies, destruction, it’s a war zone and what has your president done? NOTHING

Responding from Maui, Hawaii I feel their trauma, my heart and prayers go out to them and the rest of the community
Wow that is serious devastation!!!
My heart goes out to everyone who has been thru this horrific ordeal. Blessing to you all.
My town is in the middle of it. We didn't do as bad but all around us it's bad. Life here as we knew it is over. My heart hurts so badly for everything I'm seeing. I have water damage and will need to move. There will not be housing. We all feel so lost.
So sad for this young couple. Thank God they were rescued n their kitties. I pray they get the help they need n the many others to start over. God Bless them all .
Upstate SC here, don't think most people realize how bad this storm was. It did so much damagenin SC alone. That couple in interview are in Boiling Springs, Spartanburg County. I'm about 20 minutes from there, and let me tell you, we got HAMMERED around here. Worst part of storm came right through this part of state.
Hopefully that couple is in someplace with power, because almost all the upstate went dark. Cell service has been bad, if you can get service. Even if you have service, it's almost impossible to use browser or anything to look up info. We were lucky that most of the damage in the upstate was from fallen trees, but even where that couple is now, it got real bad.
NC needs serious help now. We here in SC are recovering, and small businesses are cooking up their food and just giving it all away to feed people without power. NC needs as much attention as we can give them. The devastation in western NC is total. I can't believe many places I've been to up there are completely destroyed. I'm worried that the number of missing persons will go up as we start getting more info. It's been very hard to get any news out of these areas due to no cell service.
I’m praying for you guys. May God help you all rebuild miraculously faster.
Very humbling, blessings to you All❤
Such a sweet
Couple God Bless you
Reroute all money going to foreign nations to US citizens effected by the storm.
Including Israel?
But Mr. Zelenskiy already took everything. The well is dry, sorry.

Amen!!!
Lizzie has the face of an angel, and she has such a tender heart-focused on the people around her rather than her losses. God bless them. ❤
A lot of those small towns are not used to getting hurricanes that's why this one caught so many people off guard this is why it devastated small cities and towns
But the 20 inches of rain was forecasted for days before hit. I just don’t fully understand how people didn’t know. But then again, if they just don’t follow things like that then the local government should have warned everyone. The information/forecast was well known days before.
@@LifebyLisa4444I can actually show you what was forcasted, as me and my grandma were sharing it back and forth before hand. Idc WHAT they are claiming, the forecast was 2-4 inches of rain and up to 40 mph winds. Then right at Thursday night and Friday morning, they began raising it AS IT WAS ALREADY FLOODING.
Also, we DO get hurricanes, nearly every single year, they are just tropical storms by then. And they absolutely never do this, not ever, this is the only time this has happened even close to this in over 200 years, and the first time it's happened LIKE this this bad ever.
I watch the weather literally daily, even multiple times daily, for my area, for the counties my family is in, it's a thing we do. We absolutely did not have a warning, and I have screen shots of our weather from those days from where I sent it back and forth to prove it
Actually we DO get the tropical storms from hurricanes all the time. It's like an expected thing
The difference is that they absolutely have never done this. Not ever.
A lot of people seem to have the idea that this is just par for the course of a hurricane and no one had ever experienced one and therefore didn't know how to prepare-but the reality is much worse
We get tropical storms from the hurricanes regularly, and they always result in just a rough storm, like the ones that wake you up from loud thunder at night, blow around some trash cans, some rain, and they pass
So everyone, meteorologists included, expected what has happened every other time when a hurricane turns to a tropical storm and travels inland.
But no one expected this. Even meteorologists were in the streets shocked. They didn't warn for evacuation until the flooding was already happening.
And for the record, "flash flood warnings" also have never meant anything here. They typically mean either nothing happens, or maybe water will pool up to below your ankles in some areas, or river levels rise, but never enough to make anyone have to fear for their safety, or property.
It's not that NC didn't know what to do in a tropical storm, it's that they DID know what to do in a tropical storm, and this one was just different
Thank you for telling your story..I am so sorry for all your loss and the trauma you are going thru. I live in ETennessee and there are so many like you who are suffering here as well..i wish you good health and safety in the days ahead..
I am in Houston, Texas so I know. God speeds the pain and suffering to go away.
Are you referring to Houston, TX flooding? Flooding from Gulf of Mexico storms urge? Aedin
My heart goes out to all sigh... I cant imagine how they feel. As someone who experiences this in the Caribbean i pray they can rebuild their homes and maybe save some memories ❤
Prayers for you guys and everyone affected.
Poor young woman is clearly suffering and in shock. I probably would be in the same predicament as it probably feels surreal. ❤🙏🏻
You can’t walk out elderly and disabled 😢😮
May God strengthen, comfort and restore America💕
We need to think about how we rebuild. This is the n ew normal. Nobody should ever have to go through what these people are going through. No part of the country will be spared from climate change. We can plan for it, and rebuild understanding this new dynamic.
Nothing NORMAL about NC.
It was a tropical storm by North Carolina, it was the dam breaking that did this, you all are so disingenuous
THIS IS HISTORIC … WE NEED HELP! PEOPLE ARE MISSING!
Examples of how to PLAN for this?
@@onion6foot You can build houses that are round, where hurricane force winds go around it rather it up against angles. Don't build so close to water sources. If building in a valley, build on stilts or homes that can rise with the water. Don't get rid of land lines for phones. Have 'several' small multipurpose community resource centers that can be used for disasters such as this (with supplies) and pads on top for helicopters. Most importantly, don't build big, meaning, it's a blessing those rains came down on dirt, trees, natural areas so "nature" can soak it up. If this were a city with a lot of paved streets, the flooding would be worse...no place for the water to go.
Not knowing what their going to do the rest of their lives is bad enough. But these people don't know from day to day and that is terrifying. Good luck to them all.
Keep up the coverage on this tragedy... thanks! Come on, America... these people need our help... 🙏 Praying for everyone....
SHE MADE ME CRY💔😭
I'll take the -50 with blizzards anyday...i would never live in tornado/hurricane alleys

@@TimSeburn not really, this was the result of a dam breaking, not the tropical storm that came through. But as always, you all will start with what you believe first and then make it rational later

Wait the state is only on rescue mode. NOT looking for missing persons. Not saying people are not looking , but the state is in RESCUE MODE
Yes, because everyone had missing persons, communications were down. There is a list, but they cannot do welfare checks on tens of thousands while there are still actively families and children in dire situations needing to have their lives saved immediately.
Your state government is to blame for this devastation.
@@Danks-vz5xz the state government had nothing to do with it. This was unprecedented, even meteorologists were shocked

Omg! I just moved from my beautiful city, not to far away from these horrible events were hit hard, however looking at the disaster in Asheville NC has been really hard, may God be with all. I'm not able to contact anyone 😢😢😢
I truly hope they’re okay
Being cut off from electricity and water for 5 days from a flood was bad enough. Red cross landed helicopters in the nearby soccer field and were able to bring us food and water in dry ice coolers. Our house was an island, basement flooded a few feet, 1 bridge washed out but for the most part we just had a big mess to clean up. A few people lost their house because it flooded past the 2nd or 3rd story roof so by comparison we felt lucky. Almost 15 years later and the town is finally somewhat back to normal but everyone still remembers and talks about those days. I can't imagine when the infostructure is just... gone. Even for us it felt like we were on our own to fend for ourselves and we really struggled even with the help of good neighbors. If this stuff is going to be happening more and more frequently we really need to figure out better ways to get people out, especially before everything hits. The issue is that once people realize they do need to evacuate it's usually far too late and the easiest or typical routes of travel are already unpassable. The moment we had to take backroads and barely made it home from the school, we should of packed our bags then and there and left for higher ground. We waited and then it was too late and the next thing we know the fire dept is using resources to come get us because what we thought was a few inches of water in our driveway was actually several feet deep of water that had washed out the driveway and adjacent sidewalk and was moving so quickly it was moving ENTIRE trees that had fallen including one that got slammed through one side of a church down the road and right out the other side. Wild stuff I don't wish anyone to experience in their lifetime.

Where is biden/Harris?
Dementia Joe assures Americans that Hurricane Helene will be used as an excuse to raise taxes, then blame Trump and half of the USA.

What actual physical help and support is the local / central government giving?
