so many good people standing up and helping...the children here surely have been traumatized and yet they get up and dig in no whining just grit so proud of the children!!!!

@@mickieminton6940 the videos make you proud...even the youngest has a chore and does it without whining they come together as family and do what needs to get done. parents you have raised your children with excellence!
Americans are amazing. Look at how much they have accomplished in just a week. They've opened up roads which enables others to bring in supplies, linemen can start work, engineers can plan new infrastructure.....it's the first of many small steps. God bless all the volunteers!
. Just PROVES the government ISN'T as needed as they like to think they are!! The Victims & Community is far Better at Rehabbing the areas they live in cuz they actually KNOW what's needed!!!
One thing we do out here in Oregon now, where we get a lot of rain and have landslides that take out portions of the roads & highways... we use heavy duty galvanized chicken wire and build box cages out of it, then load them full of big rocks that used to be the road bed, and pour medium to smaller rocks in around the big ones, lock up the cage, and it can be moved into place once that section of road has been cleared out. It makes for a stable road bed that drains water through the rocks, like a French drain. Anyway it's a way to rebuild that holds up very well. Something for you to consider. Compacted gravel can go on top, then the new asphalt above that. It goes pretty fast, too.
Our beautiful mountains are forever changed. We may never find all of our people. We will rebuild. All the help that we are getting from everyday people gives us hope. We thank every person that has offered prayers and hope. Thank You from all of us.
@@jamescohn4268 I don't see prayers doing anything for the kids gunned down so I wouldn't expect any more for NC. I'm sure it makes you feel good that you mumble to yourself but it doesn't help anyone other than to make you feel like somehow you helped.

My hats off too yin's for that selfless effort,I had a stroke back in July however God is good I'm walking and I have a roof over my head and I'm able too get water from my neighbor and I have power it's like camping but those folks yin's are helping don't have that.

@@Asymmetrical-Saggincalm down. Thuscwas a once 7n 500 to 1000 year flood due to 20 plus inches if rain beung dumped by a tropical storm that traveled over 500 plus miles up from the gulf. I grew up in northeast tn not far from erwin. In my 69 yearsnif life I had never seen the nolichucky river get up to 31 for flood level before this event.
@@Asymmetrical-SagginGod didn't dump it on the people. To understand how God works, you have to understand that the world is fallen because of satan gaining authority in the garden of Eden when Adam and Eve accepted the forbidden fruit. That took the authority that God had given man to subdue the earth. So because satan gained control, God can intervene when humans pray and intercede through the authority that Jesus returned to mankind when He chose to be the sacrifice for all sins. But because God is so great, He gives mankind freewill to choose who to serve. Those who have chosen to serve God are helping their neighbors and spreading that same love. The natural disasters will continue to happen in a fallen world just like they have for thousands of years. What people do to help those in need will distinguish those who truly love God from those who don't. Even unsaved people are willing to help because they see the results of the love that is spread and want that same love as well. Many who haven't accepted Jesus will come to know Him because of the kind acts they witness. That's why God allows disaster to happen. Not because He wants to destroy people, but because people have a choice and many have not chosen repentance. So now my question is who do you choose to serve? We are all made to worship and we will worship whatever takes our time, our money, our resources, our life.
These families just got put back to 100 years ago. The way their grandparents lived. ❤️ Prayers for all involved, including the help. Start the hunting boys get them fires going. Stay strong

SO hard to imagine enough water to cover the vast expanse of land, much less be 20ft or however many feet to do that!! UNBELIEVABLE!! Seeing is believing! That is such beautiful country though,the trees, vegetation,wild flowers,clear cool creeks and other waterways, before with the sweet fresh smell of country,I would have loved living there too!! God help and bless all affected,and helpers, responders!! Meet ALL the needs!!!
3 dams were opened up and allowed to plow thru these people's homes. "They say the dams were breached by the storm. The intensity of the water roaring down these mountains suggest something far more sinister. Was the reason for delay in getting help in here. They wanted people to die in this. Horrifying enough that of course, it's hard to grasp. But it's most believable scenario of any others

What a lot of people do not understand, because in watching the news all they're really showing is places like Asheville and the more upper class richer areas where the ski resorts and big expensive houses are that those things are those places, but what they're not showing you is the worst of it that's happened to every day Americans. I'm a lifelong resident of the mountains of rural southern Appalachia, I live in Southwest VA just minutes from both the KY and TN state lines. My ancestors lived on this land before the United States of America even had it's independence and got established as a Nation and I'm not the only one like that, many of us in these mountains are that way. There's people here that have never been out of country, never been to a beach in the USA even and these mountains have always had generational poverty. It's filled with the hardest workers and toughest people you will ever meet, people that while they have very little would still do anything they could for you to help you even if you are a stranger, that's just how we were taught and raised. We were also taught and raised to know that we should never trust nor rely on the government, and to always know the government hates us; and sadly after this I'm sure many of these people can tell you that first hand as it took 11 days and more in some places for the National Guard or FEMA to ever show up. It's not our troops fault, it's our corrupt and broken governments fault, a government that now has taken from Americans in a time of great need and given to foreign nations, invaders and foreigners in other countries. I've got 3 family members down there in the mountains of Western NC, it's awful what they're going thru. One was down there working before Helene hit and he's stayed down there since (even thou is home's here in southwest VA) he stayed to help others and is sleeping in his truck because he knows how to run a chainsaw and can do other things most country mountain men do. This is just heartbreaking, because in these mtns we don't see Virginians, Kentuckians, Tennesseans, or North Carolinans we are just one big country family and mountain people. These people who's ancestors really built and established this country, who lived off the land and went from nothing to those little country homes you see, most of which are destroyed or in ruin but that was their home and they took care of it. It's heart breaking to see, to know what people are going thru. God bless those suffering and may they be made whole again and Bless those who've come from all corners of this country to help, because it just shows the government isn't there to save you.
I'm So sorry about what these "just Simple people" are going thru. Try to get your family member to pass on to be Very careful with what FeMA is offering. They're misleading the people, and offering $750 only, but there is something in very small print that says if they don't pay the money back, the government will take their land. I would NOT touch that money/loan.
❤ this is terrible, bless these families. Lord, let your brother and your dad and your whole family know. I said, thank you for helping thank you brother
The situation seems unbearable, I envy their resilience & admire their strength. I pray for each & every one of them to find refuge & comfort in a loving supportive community. That they all will receive a bounty of blessings throughout their lifetime. I pray for their healing, I pray they begin to have new dreams & that those dreams come true. These stories of loss, recovery, pain, comfort, struggles, & courage have impacted me on every level. I think of you all often, pray for you all daily, donate as much as I can. You will not be forgotten & you will not have to go through this alone. God Bless🙏
Knew of an instance in Idaho where a house was built 100 yards away from an intermittent creek. A flash flood in the summer changed the path of the creek and it took out one quarter of the foundation.😢
I’ve never understood why people build on the water like this. Heard this called a 1000 year flood hmmm with historical videos from 1916 being re posted. People forget and oh how quickly. Look at how no one seems to remember 3000 people a day dying and the 1 million families that lost loved ones who passed away alone. Trauma induced pandemic amnesia. Watch a Whitehouse press conference from 2020 for reminder.
I'd still build on the flat, next to the creek. I'd do my foundation a very different way. We have these same issues in Michigan. 2019 flash flooding & dam breaks took out miles of internal recreational waterways. The dams are still not rebuilt because the County's tax estimates are not finalized, still. Politics.
The destruction there is absolutely heart wrenching.. I can’t imagine what these ppl are going thru.. They lost everything even property pretty much. Prayers go out to all of them..
i have flown over from Scotland to help as much as i can, i can only be here for 2 weeks but i will do as much as i can to help out where and when as possible, just everyone please keep these people who have been affected by this tragedy in your hearts and prayers and if you can please give what you can to the Gofundme that these people have set up as no matter how small your donation is will be massive to these people who have lost everything, and if you can spare man power then get down to where ever you can and help as much as you can, when these heartbreaks happen the whole world needs to come together, doesnt matter what colour you are or what race you are, we are all human and need to come together to help the less fortunate during this hard time, may god bless all of you.
Praying for everyone volunteers, victims and the lost..God bless everyone 🙏 send money to those you trust..not government..thank you for putting out the videos because media isn't showing what is really going on how bad it really is..God bless all
Driving in the mountains when the roads are in good condition is nerve-racking. I can't imagine driving in them when the roads are half gone. This is some amazing footage of people working together. Didn't see any FEMA or other government agencies doing anything though. I guess we know who to depend on.
In new zealand and still waiting for cyclone debbie (2017)destruction to be fixed? It needs specialised equipment! One lane and in the fog play russian roulette that there is no one else trying to use the same stretch of road (whats left of it) Jesus will be back before gov will fix this!
@@allangibson8494you’re kidding right? You must be new to YT to miss the many many videos of ppl who were helping. It was NOT FEMA. It was private citizens and non profits like Samaritans purse…amongst many. But not the government
Great video, each vid I see is another missing piece of the puzzle. What a beautiful "secret" wonderland of beauty. My heart breaks for them. I have a quaint little mountain hideaway that's very similar. I can't imagine an avalanche or rockslide wiping it out, but they've happened down the river valley 3 or 4 miles. Makes me think. Y'all done good, bless all of y'all.
Looking at your footage I can see why the devastation was so severe. The mountains there are so dense it's unbelievable but beautiful at the same time. It shows why so many trees were floating down. The volunteers have done a fantastic job, thank you so much and many more prayers.
People helping people, and a great thank you from me , praise Jesus Christ grace amen for you and your family, p.s. and that hand carried out lady from the house, I heard soon,after you carrying her out ,that whole mountain slid down, covering the house, thanks BigAl California.
The damage is heartbreaking but 2 corinthians 4:9 struck down but not destroyed. The spirit of the area is bruised but they will gather strength and rise. Thanks to all who are contributing to the rescue and support efforts
Damn, They really targeted the heart of our country… everything there is beautiful! The mountains, the forest, the homes, the rivers, the sky, & most beautiful PEOPLE!! If a disaster like that hit this area of Southern California I live, these people would ALL wait to be rescued, even the ones who faired well. I wanna move there!
it's still beautiful country though - no matter what nature throws at it, the beauty is still all around you - so sorry for the impact on so many lives but I feel better seeing people rally and help. I have been so upset for people but now there is hope - gonna take awhile and it's not going to be the same but it's going to be even more precious and it's good people that make that possible.
@@cabindude7656 the locals cleared the roads first to get people in….they were boots on the ground in most areas that first week….they don’t have red tape or beaurocracy to deal with…it’s why the Cajun army and samaritans purse started day two helping but fema was a week or more out in most places….there are a lot of rules big organizations have to follow….meanwhile farmers and locals got out there with . Tractors, shovels, chainsaws and anyth8ng they could to make roads….Also some of those locals have that equipment and were already diverting rivers back to their original paths before the state got involved ….not everything yellow is “official” we had an excavator on our farm for a long time 🤷🏻♀️ a big official looking one too 🤣
Out of all the comments this one is the only comment that gives a hint that this shit was done on purpose and it's good to sympathize but likewise I too feel the weather was manipulated by our rotten crooked corrupt government although they won't admit to it just to perhaps some day get at the lithium and quartz values that are locked up in those mountains !!!
Yes that is an urgent need. New coats for children, women and men. New blankets, gloves, and sleeping bags. Hand and foot warmers. Trailers will likely wait until roads are passable
@@hogansheroes5139i called Samarutans purse and they said theyll be distributing out all of these irems over the next few days,they already had packages together but said theyd continue,we'll give to them as they said theyll buy everything new to give out,like blankets coats etc
I remember watching that storm come and then turn west ever so slightly. I don't have the right words to express my feelings for the people. That was never supposed to happen in the mountains. We are all left baffled, and deeply sad. I haven't cried this much in years.
It's amazing that some of those houses and buildings are still standing. Thank you for the video and for all your help. Watching this is such a reality check. We never know what tomorrow will hold.
Devastating we are lucky in Australia to. People pitching in to help. Some don't have money to spare but volunteer their labour. During the bushfires down south the Sikh community went in & cooked for the community & volunteer groups. Just having a cooked meal lifted a lot of people's spirits. Its great how people lose everything & everyone donates something. One family near my daughter's lost everything in a house fire. Just had a newborn. My daughter went around collecting all the household items for the grandma. When she unpacked a box of kitchen utensils. The young mother bless her burst into tears at the sight of an egg flipper. It was just what she needed for breakfast.
Just want to say Thank you for all the volunteers and utilities banding together and helping and putting it all back together the best they can.🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Can’t stop crying for you all 😢😢😢😢 The devastation is real OMG!!!! 😢😢😢😢
Looks like the government is helping, lots of crews, some temporary road repairs, tree cutting, line and pipe repair. A long way to go. Thanks for sharing!
That wasn't the government we built our own temporary roads we got to work checking on people and getting people out as soon as the water started going down we have had a lot of help from a lot of amazing people but not the government
@@davidgrove481, yup! How people still support him and the GOP, when all they do is rip this country apart. Then grift their followers. They are the OPPOSITE of Christ like. They are 'Anti' Christ.
Even with all of the destruction, I can see why people live there. It is a beautiful area. I keep praying for all the people; those in need and those helping. God’s love and comfort and strength I pray for all involved.
The devastation in NC is giving me flashbacks to 2017 when I rented a house overlooking Lake Hartwell in SC. The road to the house was several miles long - very narrow and treacherous even in good weather. One day after leaving, hurricane Irma hit Florida and impacted where I was staying 20-miles away. No electricity for 2-days and gridlock on the interstates with Florida refugees. Days later Atlanta was a congested mess, too. Prayers for all those affected now and for the courageous volunteers!
Looking at the devastation I asked myself if you also have a mandatory settlement plan in the USA as we have in Switzerland, where zones at risk (potential flooding, avalanches, earthslides) are identified and were you cannot built a house. Edited to add that we also see more landslides in Switzerland where none had been before, because of more rain in shorter time coming down and melting permafrost and glaciers because of global warming. Municipalities have to update their no-constructions zones because of that. Praying that our American friends are safe and being supported in their darkest hours.
Some places do here in the USA but, with that being said, there are those places that builders get away with building in flood zones. I cannot remember what they call that.
@@kathrynmiller9622 Thank you so much for your reply. I am very sad about the devastation. We also have more landslides in Switzerland this year because of more rain and the glaciers and permafrost melting because of climate change, so that some places have to update their no-construction zones.
We do have something like that but in this case, the storm completely took a different turn. It turned to the area where people escape to avoid major storms and hurricanes. That's the most disturbing part. That's why we question, was this storm engineered???
They are helping. Stop believing Trump's lies. What you think this destruction can be cleaned in a day? Why doesn't Elon Musk, richest man help out? Yeah that's right, he doesn't give a f.
Thank you for what you are doing❤.It's hard to leave one's home. My hope is that the properties are able to be stabilized and people can rebuild on their homeland.

Wow, this video really shows the huge devastation in the Appalachian mountains
The legacy media won't show the devastation.
@@onahamilt2907Nope
They don’t want the citizens to be helped nor to be given compassion. All compassion they want to go toward their agendas
Its just so hard to get to. Any Media person that has shown this has ridden back there on the back of someones atv.
Corporations have been going into the area to use the public land resources, at the bequest and funding FOR the government coffers; how much of the funds aquired have gone to locals for the use of the public lands?...

There is always excuses.
@@Asymmetrical-Saggincalm down. Thuscwas a once 7n 500 to 1000 year flood due to 20 plus inches if rain beung dumped by a tropical storm that traveled over 500 plus miles up from the gulf. I grew up in northeast tn not far from erwin. In my 69 yearsnif life I had never seen the nolichucky river get up to 31 for flood level before this event.
@@harolddenton6031, yes, climate change is HERE! WAKE UP!
@@Asymmetrical-SagginGod didn't dump it on the people. To understand how God works, you have to understand that the world is fallen because of satan gaining authority in the garden of Eden when Adam and Eve accepted the forbidden fruit. That took the authority that God had given man to subdue the earth. So because satan gained control, God can intervene when humans pray and intercede through the authority that Jesus returned to mankind when He chose to be the sacrifice for all sins. But because God is so great, He gives mankind freewill to choose who to serve. Those who have chosen to serve God are helping their neighbors and spreading that same love. The natural disasters will continue to happen in a fallen world just like they have for thousands of years. What people do to help those in need will distinguish those who truly love God from those who don't. Even unsaved people are willing to help because they see the results of the love that is spread and want that same love as well. Many who haven't accepted Jesus will come to know Him because of the kind acts they witness. That's why God allows disaster to happen. Not because He wants to destroy people, but because people have a choice and many have not chosen repentance. So now my question is who do you choose to serve? We are all made to worship and we will worship whatever takes our time, our money, our resources, our life.

Last night , I seen so much money pouring onto the streets , there was a breach , water from the Ocean was flowing
onto the streets .
3 dams were opened up and allowed to plow thru these people's homes. "They say the dams were breached by the storm. The intensity of the water roaring down these mountains suggest something far more sinister. Was the reason for delay in getting help in here. They wanted people to die in this. Horrifying enough that of course, it's hard to grasp. But it's most believable scenario of any others

What a lot of people do not understand, because in watching the news all they're really showing is places like Asheville and the more upper class richer areas where the ski resorts and big expensive houses are that those things are those places, but what they're not showing you is the worst of it that's happened to every day Americans. I'm a lifelong resident of the mountains of rural southern Appalachia, I live in Southwest VA just minutes from both the KY and TN state lines. My ancestors lived on this land before the United States of America even had it's independence and got established as a Nation and I'm not the only one like that, many of us in these mountains are that way. There's people here that have never been out of country, never been to a beach in the USA even and these mountains have always had generational poverty. It's filled with the hardest workers and toughest people you will ever meet, people that while they have very little would still do anything they could for you to help you even if you are a stranger, that's just how we were taught and raised. We were also taught and raised to know that we should never trust nor rely on the government, and to always know the government hates us; and sadly after this I'm sure many of these people can tell you that first hand as it took 11 days and more in some places for the National Guard or FEMA to ever show up. It's not our troops fault, it's our corrupt and broken governments fault, a government that now has taken from Americans in a time of great need and given to foreign nations, invaders and foreigners in other countries. I've got 3 family members down there in the mountains of Western NC, it's awful what they're going thru. One was down there working before Helene hit and he's stayed down there since (even thou is home's here in southwest VA) he stayed to help others and is sleeping in his truck because he knows how to run a chainsaw and can do other things most country mountain men do. This is just heartbreaking, because in these mtns we don't see Virginians, Kentuckians, Tennesseans, or North Carolinans we are just one big country family and mountain people. These people who's ancestors really built and established this country, who lived off the land and went from nothing to those little country homes you see, most of which are destroyed or in ruin but that was their home and they took care of it. It's heart breaking to see, to know what people are going thru. God bless those suffering and may they be made whole again and Bless those who've come from all corners of this country to help, because it just shows the government isn't there to save you.
I'm So sorry about what these "just Simple people" are going thru.
Try to get your family member to pass on to be Very careful with what FeMA is offering.
They're misleading the people, and offering $750 only, but there is something in very small print that says if they don't pay the money back, the government will take their land.
I would NOT touch that money/loan.
They have weather control they are bringing these storms, you have very important mines there in NC which they want for their tech future.

thanks for all yall's help!
Certainly makes you think twice about buying that nice little house near a pretty, tiny little creek !!
🏞 Build on a solid rock !!
Knew of an instance in Idaho where a house was built 100 yards away from an intermittent creek. A flash flood in the summer changed the path of the creek and it took out one quarter of the foundation.😢
@PoliticallyIncorrect. That thought came to me also!!
I’ve never understood why people build on the water like this. Heard this called a 1000 year flood hmmm with historical videos from 1916 being re posted. People forget and oh how quickly. Look at how no one seems to remember 3000 people a day dying and the 1 million families that lost loved ones who passed away alone. Trauma induced pandemic amnesia. Watch a Whitehouse press conference from 2020 for reminder.
I'd still build on the flat, next to the creek. I'd do my foundation a very different way. We have these same issues in Michigan. 2019 flash flooding & dam breaks took out miles of internal recreational waterways. The dams are still not rebuilt because the County's tax estimates are not finalized, still. Politics.
Thank yall for all yall doin
Blessins to yall
Be safe
The destruction there is absolutely heart wrenching.. I can’t imagine what these ppl are going thru.. They lost everything even property pretty much. Prayers go out to all of them..

Driving in the mountains when the roads are in good condition is nerve-racking. I can't imagine driving in them when the roads are half gone. This is some amazing footage of people working together. Didn't see any FEMA or other government agencies doing anything though. I guess we know who to depend on.
Me either.
Their funds are going to the illegals and not the Americans who live here.😡
Who do you think cleared the half destroyed roads? FEMA contractors…

Looking at your footage I can see why the devastation was so severe. The mountains there are so dense it's unbelievable but beautiful at the same time. It shows why so many trees were floating down. The volunteers have done a fantastic job, thank you so much and many more prayers.

For anyone wondering this was all cleared by locals coming together….if not they would still be waiting on the officials to figure out their plan
They really did a fantastic work considering everything they had to clear and remove.
I'm getting paid by the hour to do so and taken thirty hours to come up with a plan
What were those yellow trucks cutting debris?…looked pretty official.
@@cabindude7656 the locals cleared the roads first to get people in….they were boots on the ground in most areas that first week….they don’t have red tape or beaurocracy to deal with…it’s why the Cajun army and samaritans purse started day two helping but fema was a week or more out in most places….there are a lot of rules big organizations have to follow….meanwhile farmers and locals got out there with . Tractors, shovels, chainsaws and anyth8ng they could to make roads….Also some of those locals have that equipment and were already diverting rivers back to their original paths before the state got involved ….not everything yellow is “official” we had an excavator on our farm for a long time 🤷🏻♀️ a big official looking one too 🤣
Don't give up your land. Fight, fight, fight!
Out of all the comments this one is the only comment that gives a hint that this shit was done on purpose and it's good to sympathize but likewise I too feel the weather was manipulated by our rotten crooked corrupt government although they won't admit to it just to perhaps some day get at the lithium and quartz values that are locked up in those mountains !!!
Awesome ! From Canada ! What about winter clothing ? How about Trailers ( campers ) to take down for displaced peoples? Oil Field Camps housing?????
Yes that is an urgent need. New coats for children, women and men. New blankets, gloves, and sleeping bags. Hand and foot warmers. Trailers will likely wait until roads are passable
@@hogansheroes5139i called Samarutans purse and they said theyll be distributing out all of these irems over the next few days,they already had packages together but said theyd continue,we'll give to them as they said theyll buy everything new to give out,like blankets coats etc
I remember watching that storm come and then turn west ever so slightly. I don't have the right words to express my feelings for the people. That was never supposed to happen in the mountains. We are all left baffled, and deeply sad. I haven't cried this much in years.
The best of Americans is our open hearts.
It's amazing that some of those houses and buildings are still standing. Thank you for the video and for all your help. Watching this is such a reality check. We never know what tomorrow will hold.
Devastating we are lucky in Australia to. People pitching in to help. Some don't have money to spare but volunteer their labour. During the bushfires down south the Sikh community went in & cooked for the community & volunteer groups. Just having a cooked meal lifted a lot of people's spirits. Its great how people lose everything & everyone donates something. One family near my daughter's lost everything in a house fire. Just had a newborn. My daughter went around collecting all the household items for the grandma. When she unpacked a box of kitchen utensils. The young mother bless her burst into tears at the sight of an egg flipper. It was just what she needed for breakfast.

The devastation in NC is giving me flashbacks to 2017 when I rented a house overlooking Lake Hartwell in SC. The road to the house was several miles long - very narrow and treacherous even in good weather. One day after leaving, hurricane Irma hit Florida and impacted where I was staying 20-miles away. No electricity for 2-days and gridlock on the interstates with Florida refugees. Days later Atlanta was a congested mess, too.
Prayers for all those affected now and for the courageous volunteers!

Looking at the devastation I asked myself if you also have a mandatory settlement plan in the USA as we have in Switzerland, where zones at risk (potential flooding, avalanches, earthslides) are identified and were you cannot built a house.
Edited to add that we also see more landslides in Switzerland where none had been before, because of more rain in shorter time coming down and melting permafrost and glaciers because of global warming. Municipalities have to update their no-constructions zones because of that. Praying that our American friends are safe and being supported in their darkest hours.
Some places do here in the USA but, with that being said, there are those places that builders get away with building in flood zones. I cannot remember what they call that.
No our government will let people build anywhere.
@@kathrynmiller9622 Thank you so much for your reply. I am very sad about the devastation. We also have more landslides in Switzerland this year because of more rain and the glaciers and permafrost melting because of climate change, so that some places have to update their no-construction zones.
That would be everywhere in Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee N. Carolina we have all mountain but this never happens very unreal
We do have something like that but in this case, the storm completely took a different turn. It turned to the area where people escape to avoid major storms and hurricanes. That's the most disturbing part. That's why we question, was this storm engineered???
God Bless You for helping those impacted by Helene. It’s So Overwhelming. Be Safe😊🙏
