The more I see of what has changed in our area the more I tell myself it doesn’t even look real to me, it’s overwhelming. Places I’ve known my whole life are unrecognizable. I’m not talking about homes and roads people, I’m talking about the actual landscape. Imagine walking around your neighborhood and hillsides are gone, fields of bedrock where there were none, islands in the river that are new. If you would have blindfolded me and dropped me into this valley I seriously don’t know if I would have recognized it now. It’s as if ten thousand years of change happened overnight.
100% agree....I feel the same way. It's insane and I tell people that the videos and images don't do it justice. No matter how many times you see it, you just never get used to how it looks now.
I agree. We live very close to where the bridge was. Watching this video and others, or simply driving through the area and looking over at the industrial park or the stretch where the radio station was...I feel shell-shocked. The land is gone. Not just the buildings, but the actual GROUND is gone.
Now, imagine how "unrecognizable" all this is to someone who frequently VISITED there.........and NOT in an AIRPLANE but on the ROADS................SMH
It's hard to comprehend the scale of the disaster until you see the dump trucks and excavators looking like toys amongst the debris. In Morristown (TN) we were spared the worst of it, but these areas aren't all that far away and I've long liked the Hot Springs & Asheville areas in NC, two areas that were similarly devastated by Helene. Thank you for documenting not just the cleanup efforts, but also the utter devastation that's still apparent in many heavily impacted areas
The section of the bridge down the river from the roadway and the people walking on the gravel streambed toward the end of the video reminds a person of the forces at work during the flooding. Don't play with fire and don't mess with water, for they will consume you.
hey Hippie, sorry for what you all have endured. I know there is more pressing issues you all are dealing with but i am curious if all this flooding hasn't maybe opened up some burried gold reserves and are folks in your area doing any prospecting since this massive flood?
I'm in Cocke County where the Nolichucky, Pigeon, and French Broad have all left devastating damage. Your video shows an example of damage all along East Tennessee and Western Carolina. This video is worth a million words. Thank you.
Beautiful video. In spite of the disaster. Your state is sooooo pretty. I did not know how Beautiful the Carolinas Appalachia was & still is, in somekind of way. Don't stop making videos, people move on and forget. Because life is full of distractions. You need to keep making videos on a constant, so the donations continue to come into your communities. Please pass the word around. 🙏 God Bless You. I am so sorry for all you are going thru. Keep your head up, stay in faith. Pray, pray, pray this is your power. God is the one that can fix this. 🙏 SHALOM.
It is still hard to comprehend, even when it is in front of your face! People are still in shock. So many places are gone or ruined or changed beyond recognition. Thank you do much for the updates.They help.
You have done so much work already; clearing, burning, hauling say the trash! I totally admire your dedication and your work. Such beautiful country! Thank you for all you are doing!
Beautiful music, beautiful filming. Such devastation it makes me cry everytime I watch a video of what happened that terrible day, it doesn't get any easier, there is a long & arduous road ahead but I'm sure all these hard working determined people will get there. I wish everyone in the affected areas all the best for the future, god bless ❤&🙏🏻 from your friends in the UK. 🥰
The music was most appropriate for this carnage. Terrible to see the damage to everything. I wish all this area well and the courage to go forward and overcome. Absolutely remarkable people.
Wonderful video, please keep posting on the progress, I'm sure all of us want to see the recovery of such a beautiful valley that we may visit someday.
Have hiked across that area many times. Thank you for the video. It’s hard to see the bridge gone and what’s left of local spots like Uncle Johnny’s. Godspeed to you all as you recover.
Very nice Music, with the drone. I was floating down river a 100 feet above the water, at peace. Love to Y'all, stay warm and dry. Happy veterans Day, a few days early, with all of your Can-Do Spirits, essentially a renewed purpose... don't let them in, live your lives.... The Government just changed hands to perhaps free up a lot of your needs. NAVY Seabees built roads and bridges in Vietnam , overnight . We even built airports, overnight... PEACE OUT...
That video is a Epic Cinematic masterpiece. The footage is chilling and you put perfect music in as a soundtrack. I Liked and Subscribed. Keep them coming
I drove 25E from Newport TN, south through Hot Springs, NC and on to Asheville today. Seeing it for myself. I actually always use 25E off I-75 to avoid Atlanta. Losing I-40 makes my 1200 mile trips from Indy to Palm Beach County more difficult. I remember driving I-40 in 1981 or 1982 when it was just opened. 25E became an 'off the beaten path' until now. The devastation will take years to rebuild from. People are living in tents on the river bank and it's cold at night. My prayers are with all the mountain people. The American spirit is soaring as is 47.
As usual, your video takes us right to the heart of it all and makes you sit back and want to cry at the devastation but to all rejoice in the fact they are trying to fix and rebuild. The scale is beyond imagination truly. Thanks again for an informative video!
Thank you very much for this. It is a beautiful video and overwhelming to see. We have been wondering how Chestoa is doing. A very loved place in our house. This is heartbreaking. We look forward to the river and trees reclaiming their place once this work is done.
A beautiful place but unfortunately it was devastated by a natural disaster. I am a nature lover, I pray for you. Your videos are very meaningful and have good video quality. Thank you

The blue is probably from the lighting conditions as well as the camera response to what it thinks it sees. The more or less continual haze of this area has a tint which isn't always white.
I’m pretty sure that’s cinders from the railbed upstream that are being moved there. In the countless years that steam locomotives ruled the rails, there was a constant rain of cinders falling on the right of way, and in early times the ashes and cinders from locomotive fireboxes were used as ballast (the rock on the tracks). Those cinders have been covered by new stone ballast many times over the last 50+ years, and compacted by thousands of trains passing over it. In many places in the gorge, the flood removed the track, but the cinders remained untouched! Modern engineering principles probably view the cinders as unsuitable to rebuild the railroad on, so it’s being removed. That’s my guess. To those alarmists, this cinder ballast has existed in the gorge for well over 100 years!
@tomt9543 , Thank You for Sharing about the Cinders & Railway and All. No Alarmist here.. I saw in many Videos How the Railways Railroads all tore up or Just Gone & Railing Twisted. SO SAD to My Heart. I have a Love of Trains. I am Just So Sorry for What ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THROUGH!! MY PRAYERS CONTINUE 🙏 From MO (in my little town we had a Railroad & Train. I Grew Up with it Here. NOW NO TRAIN NO TRACKS AND THEY ARE MAKING WALKING TRAILS..Such a Loss to Me. People who didn't have ties here move in and take over...
Thanks for the video update! We are on the other side of trAsheville and still lots of work to do, but progress is being made. Got out for some more rides on the adv and the damage is staggering. Several of my favorite fs roads are being worked on and should reopen soon
I was over that way earlier this week shooting some video...crazy how much is still left to be done. Went up to the Parkway entrance and then down into Asheville, soooo much damage and the trees down just blew my mind.
The work is huge clean up and rebuilt.Calgary alberta 2013 floods cause hell wreck cprail around and south.This pure mess pure simple take while clean this thing.Thanks video and update.😮
After Chestoa Pike bridge collapsed I was really surprised that the Unaka Springs trestle didn't collapse with the amount of debris that piled against its side.
To give an idea of the forces involved, some of those railroad bridges were built to handle the pounding of multi-hundred ton steam engines & their passengers/cargo, some of which were the largest in the region, and have stood DECADES, only the swept aside like a twig.
They're doing repairs up in the gorge and also upstream in Poplar NC. Look at some of his other videos, especially the one about the damage in Poplar and the gorge...
Nicely Filmed! I did several supply flights to the area and its truly sad to see the devastation. Curious what sound track this is? Sounds extremely familiar like it was a movie intro ( Maybe West World?) I cant place the sound though.....LOLOL
Thanks so much, really appreciate the compliment. As far as the music, I'll have to go back and look this evening. I download all my music for youtube from musicbed.
I feel bad for the folks living there. I grew up in a flood area but it never got as bad as this. I have to say that now I would never rebuild in a flood area if I had any choice at all even though there is undoubtedly a sentimental attachment to the original home site.
This is absolutely incredible. I kept wondering if that bridge was the one that you travel under to get to the campground and beach area. I think it was spray-painted Kyle Busch or just Busch? Thanks for posting!
Yes I suppose the only solace we can take in this transformation of the land we know & love so well is that it was done by nature. And nature has a way of healing the land but it takes time. The lives lost can’t be replaced but the man made stuff can possibly be rebuilt & replaced.
as an old RXR hand and stockholder, railroad companies have the money to do a hell of a lot more and being that RXR lines carry interstate commerce's they don't have to follow all the state and federal EPA rules and can get waivers by one phone call . GET busy CSX,. Haul all that metal, trees and damages stuff out recycle yards along the RxR line. I've designed rXr lines on sides of mountain that were in the way, next week half the mountain was gone for just one set of tracks.
This is gonna affect fishing, boating/canoeing/rafting. There is people that made a living off renting out equipment and being fishing guides etc.. Crazy how much of an impact this has even outside of the casualties and destruction 💔🙏🇺🇸
bruh the zoning commisions there should be straight sentenced to prison and forced to pay reperations with their personal wealth why the fuck are there so meny houses on a floodplain , basically in a creekbed
So sad, many years ago, I lived up in Greeneville, TN but to see now this region after the flood, not recognizable at all. it will years for the people to rebuild. Our Area in Central North Carolina sent 17 Tractor- Trailers to help to the area around Asheville. Now that Trump has won the Presidency, the help that is needed will come and the monies also. I will continue to pray for all the victims and their families over this devastation.
Gross to see a company utilizing inexperienced contractors, trespassing and destroying private property without even consulting the owners, and disregarding federal law while fleecing the riverbed to shoddily rebuild the rail-bed, all while simultaneously creating a future flooding issue downstream. Three federal lawsuits were filed over it but sadly, it will be we, the public who pay for this corporate greed and negligence.
All those poor people who have lost everything, seems disrespectful of the railroad to run all that new track thru there. It would be much much nicer of the railroad to help all those people rebuild everything and after That's done, talk to the residents about running the rail thru there.
Disrespectful of the railroad to run all that new track? What are you talking about? The railroad was built thru Erwin Tn. in 1890, 13 years before the city was even incorporated. The ignorance in these comments is stunning!

I remember the flooding caused by hurricane Floyd in 1999. It washed out a railroad bridge. CSX worked around the clock to replace the bridge.
Unbelievable that the hurricane came in so far inland with such force. Nobody would have ever seen something like this coming. 😣😣😣

Not sure what the plans are for the Chestoa park area.
The railroad bridge at 3:00 has gotta be around a hundred years old but yet it's still standing.
Yeah this is right below my house, I've heard 1916 was when it was built but not 100 percent sure if that's accurate.
I need to know what music you are using for this.
I'll have to look the names of the songs up but I get all of my music for the videos off of musicbed
Was the bridge in the beginning the one that was washed out?! If so, great job getting it back up.
It's not, the bridge that's washed out in the Chestoa area will be out for a good while. They have however reopened the I 26 bridge that washed out.
This is absolutely incredible. I kept wondering if that bridge was the one that you travel under to get to the campground and beach area. I think it was spray-painted Kyle Busch or just Busch? Thanks for posting!
Absolutely, thanks for watching and commenting 🙏
Yep, the campground is upstream from the bridge...
Who is the musical artist?
@josephkelly4103 Aurella, and Ryan Taubert. They're music can be downloaded on music bed
Such a massive undertaking. Really thought the music was poignant.
When I go outside and look at the damage the visuals of everything are poignant as well.
Yes I suppose the only solace we can take in this transformation of the land we know & love so well is that it was done by nature. And nature has a way of healing the land but it takes time. The lives lost can’t be replaced but the man made stuff can possibly be rebuilt & replaced.
Trees look like the green spongy moss you get from Woodland Scenic and put on trainsets. It's just a trainset, but a whole bunch of folks got hurt.
Are people rechanneling the river? Seems like bad idea to have it near the road when any Spring floods occur…
@macking104 they're not, that was a park next to the railroad. The flood washed all of the trees out where they're working.
Lest we become complacent, nature reminds us we are small.
Nature is all powerful
