God will bless you abundantly in Heaven - forever!! With more than you could have hoped or dreamed of, for your faithfulness. Keep sharing the Gospel brother, that's all that matters - we're all just passing through.
I've been thru 3 floods living at coastal NC. You'd think rain water is clean but flood waters are nasty. What's left behind when the waters gone will cause serious infections if you scrape or cut yourself on anything that was underwater. During the 3 floods , I never saw my neighbors house floating by , pontoon boats coming over a dams spillway or had to pull someones body from the water. I'm really sorry to have seen what you good people have endured. I know what its like to lose a home.but the devastation there is like nothing Ive seen. God bless you all. I will keep all in my prayers. NC loves you and wont forget you .
There's already a Vibrio outbreak in Florida. I don't see how any of the waters could be safe for a very long time. At least 1000 are still missing, besides the hundreds of bodies they already pulled out. Wasnt just 200 either, the residents will tell you..Thousands of vehicles, oil & gas & freon, , those homes with their AC'S, cleaning products, paints, the business & factories. All that won't dissolve in a few months.
I have watched many interviews with flood victims. One elderly lady stood out. She indicated that the road beside her river was built entirely upon a foundation of mine tailings. The road and its foundation of mine tailings were completely destroyed along several stretches of the river (somewhere in the Nolichucky watershed). Mine tailings being placed next to a water way is very unusual. Frequently, strong chemical solutions are utilized in the seperation processes, and tailings are generally kept segregated for good reasons. All waterways, public water supplies, and all well water should be tested repeatedly for the next year.
for the most part yes products from mines are separated with chemicals. in this case i think when she refers to mine tailings she is referring to large rock/boulder that wasnt ever subject to chemical flotation. i live in the area where there are tons of old mines from before chemical analysis. plenty of people use giant rocks, sand, gravel from the mines for all sorts of things, on their property, under the roads. youll find it everywhere. just rocks edit: even the mines that did chemical separation there is thousands upon thousands of tons of rock left over that was never processed. just sitting there
We haven't even pulled all the dead bodies out of the water yet, and the Cadaver Dogs are dying from the toxicity of both the French Broad and the Nolichucky. They are so polluted with not only the coal tailings & septic, but the nuclear waste dump {there's a superfund site right on the river}no one seems to be talking about. The plastic plant, the mines, the asbestos from most of the older homes that washed away, and much more is never portrayed in this "PBS water report"... The State of NC is still saying under 200 people died, but we all know that's nowhere near accurate. Thankfully I'm at a very high elevation, and my well water and home are fine. We've got solar and have been preparing for years. However those at lower elevations are not. I didn't see anyone from a legacy Media News crew interview the folks who are living on their land in tents, to stop the thieves from stealing, or because they have nowhere else to go. Now, the State is removing children from what's left of their families and homes, if they don't have a 'modern house', and these kids are already traumatized. They need their family, Not a foster home. This is the worst disaster our State and Federal Government has ignored in my 67 years of life... I thought East Palestine OH & Lahaina Maui was bad, but this is much worse. Don't let PBS fool you...
@@kowashy03exactly and even if there was a little chemical residue that's the least of what's in water now. Untold vehicles with gas, diesel and batteries, septic tanks, cemeteries, businesses producing chemicals, dead mammals, propane and the list goes on. I don't hear many talking about the old Halliburton chemical place above swannanoa either. They left in the 1970s lots of open chemical pits. EPA finally cleaned it up in the late 80s I think and was declared super site because was in ground water for years. Guess what? All those sealed chemical pits were washed away and it's hard telling what else was buried or sitting in these hollers.
These water well testers are HERO's....shameful that the govt is not testing for free. But, Thankful that these citizens stepped up to help thier community with this vital water testing. Beautiful what the citizens will do for each other in hard times. 💙💪💙
So little being reported on from Tennessee. It was flooded just as bad..smh.Im happy people are reporting and helping,I just wished Tennessee was getting more coverage.
Bless these volunteers. Just wish the billionaires would donate to save these areas with expenses of the volunteers. I am sure they will get that stuff out of the riverway but the costs of fuel and trash hauling need to be covered for them. The costs of heavy equipment to drag out those cars and trucks is massive. Even a fridge is a challenge when tangled in trees. Pray for these folks and donate where you can.
If you live here and pay taxes, then you should wish that your dollars already paid in would help these people. Not billionaires duty to step in. The billions are sent to other countries.
Good question, where are all the billionaires, oh wait they are focused on their own issues and could care a less about the Americans who pay to watch their sports, listen to their music or watch them act. Blessings to those who have stood out like Oliver Anthony…and blessing to all those hard working volunteers that no one really knows but they have been what has saved many!
There’s an interview with Real Estate Mindset where a young lady mentioned nuclear waste being buried in the 40’s. She mentioned Black Rock which is apparently inaccurate but according to her the cadaver dogs were dying, boots were melting and she had heard of instances where people were getting chemical burns from showering.

Billions sent to mid East and Ukraine for more wars while disaster recovery is neglected. The victims need help, rebuilding, restoring what they had, with medical help, and psychiatric help to continue their lives. The American politicians are neglecting their own people.
In my humble opinion, it's war here too. It's not just in Ukraine, etc. I wish people could recognize what is really happening and going on here, there, and everywhere. It's war. This is war. It's just not like in the movies where bombs are dropping and missiles are flying. So, people can't see what is happening or recognize what this really is because it's a war like never before. This war is the whole world. And, this will be the last one in my opinion and according to the Bible. Jesus Christ is who is coming soon. The signs of HIS coming are everywhere. This is Biblical Prophecy Fulfillment unfolding right before our eyes. Now is the time to repent and turn away from any evil and surrender to God the Father. I'm not trying to push my beliefs onto anyone. But, it is my responsibility as a Christian to speak the truth. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. Blessings.... Praise God for His Mercy and Grace. If you're still alive, then there's still time to get right with the Creator of All of Creation..

We sent water testing kits & arsenic test strips. If you know of other heavy metals or organic contaminant test kits then send some to any of the “boots on the ground” volunteers in NC.
Amazon for the test kits, picked the ones that check for nitrites, nitrates & bacterial contaminates as well as arsenic. A company called Safrax sells a dry product that’ll purify water contaminated with viral, fungal & bacterial products. Think sewage, dead stuff and molds.
@@rudyjuliano8096 thank you---I live in Connecticut and am an amateur riverkeeper on a small river. I will try to get some of my team to come up with a way to help. I am also part of a trail crew that might be able to help. One of our major parks was closed due to hurricane and we some experience. I would love to find a way to get us all there to help.
They can’t be allowed to get away with this. This is the worst kind of crime against humanity. Killed so many people. Destroyed thousands of lives, thousands of families. The damage may never be undone. And why? All because of hate. Because they want power to destroy us. They must be held accountable.
7ft in 20mins … I can believe it considering how much rain that region got. I’ve seen creeks and rivers rise just as quick in one hour with only 2-3” of steady rain in that amount of time (enough to get in roadways, especially here in Appalachia where rain water is coming down off of mountains causing even more to fill up). Now, imagine 20” inches OR MORE over a period constantly pouring down heavily in these mountainous areas. They didn’t expect this storm to just linger over these areas the way it did. Puts things more into perspective on how and why leaving just wasn’t feasible for all the people who sit and act like “they should have just left! they put themselves in danger staying! hard to feel sorry for them when they ignored the warnings!” … which Sunday-morning quarterbacking is so easy to do with hindsight on how everything turned out, isn’t it? Easy to be perched high in an ivory tower looking down on people with the information we have now … Usually the people that say that or continuously repeat it weeks after this disaster have never dealt with quick rising waters from a flood and it shows - you can’t _just leave_ when: 1 - the warnings never came until it was way too late 2 - that water rose so quickly that you’re better off just staying and trying to get to higher ground around you, if possible, due to roads being covered and bridges being washed away 3 - it’s more dangerous to be out on these roads with high waters rising, think of culverts that go under roadways, those fill up and water starts backing up on both sides of a road, and it’s going to put pressure on spots where the roads can sink/break away 4 - these people have been through floods before, they know where water usually gets up with a lot of rain and know how to prepare, but when it’s this much rain of biblical proportions? no amount of prep a few days in advance would have helped as this was historical for that area, no one knew it would get that bad as it is unlike anything they had ever been through before with floods If anything, the people in ETN and WNC need to have constant news coverage put on and them pressure for them to continue to get help. The amount of citizens across the country that has no idea how bad things really were is honestly just sad. This wasn’t a typical flood from a hurricane storm. This was a whole new monster that has people still living in tents relying on the good will of citizens for help as the government just isn’t there … think of all these small rural towns that haven’t even been mentioned once. They can’t even get to them still. It’s downright shameful how people have just turned their backs away from this region when they need help the most. Seems typical for Appalachia, though … we’re the butt of everyone’s jokes and are easily passed over and ignored on the regular. No surprise when a historical disaster happens, the reality of it all is brushed under the rug to minimize it as much as possible - we’re just a bunch of uneducated rednecks/hillbillies that aren’t worth focusing on.
❤🙏🙏🙏😇 my prayers and thoughts go out to all of my brothers and sisters in Christ that have I had to deal with such devastation. God is in control. Jesus is king.👑 keep your prayers and thoughts with HIM👑😍🙏😇
I love in rural Burke Co and love the Green River Gorge. I ride my adv motorcycle through there when I visit Lake Jocassee and stop at fish top to take a break from riding there. Heartbreaking to see the kind of damage the event did down there. Up in the pisgah high country, we got nailed bad too. Sure am glad I got photos of fish top. Hopefully clean up efforts continue and hopefully we can fix all of our waterways as best we possibly can
You can have your well casing as high as you want. Flood waters won’t get in to well if casing is higher than flood waters. All that surface water from flooding is toxic water. 40 years sanitary water well driller, Maryland and Pa. Master state board certified
@@featheredcoyote5477 That's not what happened here. There are videos on UA-cam that explain, in great detail, but simple enough a third grader can understand. I suggest you educate yourself instead of listening to political b.s. that does NOT ever have your best interests at heart.
@@featheredcoyote5477u handled that well! I have no patience for rudeness and hatefulness. Don't waste your time with trying to inform people like that. I've come to the conclusion I just don't believe some people can handle some of the truths our government (BOTH PARTIES) are involved in and absolutely guilty of. For what it's worth, I certainly don't believe this to have been a natural disaster, not for one minute! Well while it was happening I did. But once it was over it wasn't long before I started to question it. Sadly the more I saw and heard and the more that goes on, one would just about have to be a fool to not atleast want an investigation done. I have peace knowing this is taking place, regardless of the outcomes.

Prayers for y'all. Us here in NE TN are hurting and suffering too ...not getting near as much help that we need also. Can't tell you how much is going to slide when the winter freeze and thaw comes every February...it will be bad
I live in Johnson City, Tn. Not far from some of the hard hit areas in Northeastern TN. My kids were out of school for a month after and the community has come together to help using schools as showering centers, food and hygiene distribution sites, water distribution and also provided homeless shelter to families left with no homes. Now it is cold and starting to snow. I can't imagine how the families are staying warm that are now living in tents where homes once stood. I hear about parents who have lost hope... committing suicide in the yard in front of their kids. Then there are young kids committing suicide too, lost without hope.... My heart breaks for our Appalachain families and the land that is forever changed. Driving to work that morning screaming while i had my husband on the phone keeping me calm bc the wind and rain was so crazy that i thought I was going to get flipped over completely and end up in the lake as I crossed the bridges. I made it to work and around 2 pm I heard someone comment about how beautiful the sky was bc the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining .... and I knew the worst was to come bc they did not realize we were in the eye of the storm and the worst was yet to come.
I'm up in Ashe County. I'm curious. Our well was not overtaken by floods because we live on a hill. I understood I don't need to test water. My curiosity is.. do events like this change the aquifer itself way below the surface?
Shallow wells should be monitored. Deep wells not so much unless compromised. Also depends on the under surface geology. Here in Missouri we have cave systems that can take surface water underground and then pop back out miles away back to the surface in springs. If it is underground long enough and filtered enough it is fine but I lived on a spring where rain twenty five miles away would come out near me two days later. I never used that spring water for anything but showers. The slopes that the water entered were nearly all cattle pasture so E Coli was going into the caves and coming out in my spring. We knew all of this from dye tracing the waterway underground. Not all of the caves were even on the surface but crack in the limestone and sink holes were letting the surface water into the caves and running under a ridge to my area. Strange to not even have rain, sometimes sunny days, but over there would downpour and two days later our spring run would flood out of it's banks.
@markpashia7067 This is in the mountains, most wells are less than 200 feet deep, and are drawing off of water that's over 2,000 feet above sea level. So its not like everybody's drawing off of one massive aquifer.
I even test city municipal water---no well is safe---no source is safe ---check twice a year---when I travelled to Nicaragua I used my own water filter and drank the local water ---55 years in the real estate business-----I've been lied to by the best----test---test !
Your testing the water just wondering why your not testing where people's soles of there shoes are melting off and all the animals are dying, just wondering thought that would be addressed!?
I just posted a comment about the speculation that nuclear waste caused that problem but no one is addressing the fact that one of the SAR leaders, Lacey said Black Rock buried nuclear waste here in the 40’s but Black Rock was supposedly founded in 88’. Not sure if anyone has gotten clarification.
I thought we'd see results of the real contaminated water not oh its OK to go kayaking again, I feel for everyone but whatever this is is a misrepresentation o g what's really going on animals and people are dying from the water ,people's shoes are melting off at the soles what if they saw this it's OK dive right in?
Thank you so much for this video and thank you to them for love what they does and help working together. God have mercy and touch more hearts in Jesus name.
NE Tennessee and NW North Carolina seem to be lost in the Asheville headlines. I’m a realtor, but also currently working 10-11 hours a day with debris clean up crews. I personally was at a home and measured the waterline at EIGHT FEET and the home was standing at least that high up off the creek. Can you even wrap your mind around this??
Who exactly is doing the water testing? Can you give the numbers your finding and give a comparison to what the numbers should be on everything that’s being tested ? I’m very interested to know what company is doing the testing please.
God Bless you all , i see human kindness coming back. Thank you to the gentleman that offered me a seat on the bus. That's a small thing but it all adds up. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
These people and area need the $$$!!! OUT OWN PEOPLE!! NOT to a country that has been bleeding our coffers!!😡😡😡 Take care of our own! God Bless these people and all the people who are helping.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
we make the mistake of thinking theres a normal.......ive seen snow storm, then a rain storm, then sleet...then snow all in a few hours..then watching it snow 2 feet all while lightning blazed in the sky!.....20 degrees at 9am then 74 buy noon!......flooding happens everywhere......be smart , build high!
Yeah, it just looks fishy to me. The dams or something wasn’t working right something went wrong and I don’t understand why they didn’t get the people out when it was already flooded and I knew a hurricane was coming their way somebody dropped the ball or the state something happened, and you guys need to find out why it happened because if it ever happens again, I’ve never heard of a hurricane in the mountains
We get them all the time here in wnc but usually by time they hit us its just heavy rain usually pretty decent flooding but nothing like this. Tropical storm fred hit us pretty good few years back but nothing compared to this. 2004 we had 2 hit back to back that caused severe flooding but again nothing like this
“Designer Weather” brought to you by HAARP. Ppl from CA know what “cloud seeding” is bc they’ve been making it rain in CA for years. Now, it’s being used by “God only knows”. The technology was sold from a Govt Weather Agency to an “unknown” during the Clinton’s years. It’s activated by radars (airports, weather stations, military installations, etc). There are also CHEM TRAILS (aluminum, barium & other chemicals) sprayed in the air all over the U.S. ( believe TN has stepped up & banned). Farm animals are being affected horribly by it. Also kills trees from the top down.
The best made plans of man and all of the greatest efforts humankind can be totally wiped out in hours or days, sometimes in seconds, by a single act of nature. And there is nothing humans can do to control and change what nature does or does not do.
If this was a natural disaster, please explain why there was little damage when the hurricane ht landfall? This was planned ecoterrorism by the hidden clandestine government it appears to me in another land grab like was done in Lahaina, Maui with direct energy weapons.
All the silt filled the rivers and creeks. You know who is responsible. Who got wealthy off of the silt? They should fix this not try to Rob these people. We see what they are doing.
Of all the samples they took only two were questionable and only one of those were a risk to people but just marginally. They said that in the video. Did you miss that?
Who is in control of water releases along the rivers in this region? Remote workers failed to release water from the dam in my town prior to a storm (forecasted days before) and flooded the town. No one had flood insurance.
Our government should be appalled and ashamed of themselves , but they are not. They can’t give two 💩 and it is a rude awakening that we are on our own ! Build a community.. people you can trust and count on in time of crisis! We all need to go back to basics. I pray everyone can see better days ahead!
I recomend see videos of Real State Mindset Channel in this platform, he is in Tennessee and is a volunteer, he belongs a church an is helping, The reality is so diferent, this "oficial" media dont tell you all
Give it 20 years and the trees will come back and the New Green River and the New Asheville will take shape. Maybe some different things will be done? Maybe places will rebuild but not anywhere near the water? If only Florida would listen. There is so many people living withing three miles of the coastline all around the state.
🫡Greetings! 🕊May the Lord Almighty bless everyone who is helping with the recovery of this beautiful place. Also, blessings to all families for their resiliency! 🌄😇May everyone have a wonderfully blessed day!
Thank you for doing this but what chemicals are killing the cadaver dogs? Surely they have done autopsies? What chemicals are melting the boots off of volunteers in Swannanoa and Bat Cave? I saw videos where volunteers where coughing up blood and having rashes when getting mud on themselves. This kind of seems like a feel good piece so everyone thinks everyone is “just fine”.

Those are not aliencrafts. They were manufactured in Lockheed or Skunkworks from crashed benevolent alien craft the clandestine hidden government shot down with scalar technology. This disaster was planned which is why 2 buses of illegal aliens from the southern border were dropped off 2 days before the disaster. May the survivors be blessed beyond anything I can imagine. This is a planned land grab.

Republicans voted against increasing FEMA budget while the upcoming storms were staring them in the face. Has nothing to do with foreign aid. Question: going back in time would you have chosen not to give aid to Europe is against Hitler's Germany?
Thank you to these wonderful people. Makes me cry and I’m in Michigan watching.
Im glad alots of people are safe, NC Strong!! WNC Strong!!
Not really, the media refuses to cite the true death toll.
I pray that families continue to thrive.God be with us all.
She broke me when she burst into tears. That’s how I feel too, this land holds memories and our hearts are as broken as the landscape has been.
We will rise….⛰️🙌🤍 But later 🙏🏼 we must heal ❤️🩹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⛰️
I don't live close by but I am so glad that things are finally coming around for everyone! This was truly devastating. ❤🎉
Im Spruce Pine...the entire river is unrecognizable
Up the mountain in Glen Ayre
How can You tell ... :)-
We sent water testing kits & arsenic test strips. If you know of other heavy metals or organic contaminant test kits then send some to any of the “boots on the ground” volunteers in NC.
do you have a link to send the stuff to, I like your idea
Amazon for the test kits, picked the ones that check for nitrites, nitrates & bacterial contaminates as well as arsenic.
A company called Safrax sells a dry product that’ll purify water contaminated with viral, fungal & bacterial products. Think sewage, dead stuff and molds.
@@rudyjuliano8096 thank you---I live in Connecticut and am an amateur riverkeeper on a small river. I will try to get some of my team to come up with a way to help. I am also part of a trail crew that might be able to help. One of our major parks was closed due to hurricane and we some experience. I would love to find a way to get us all there to help.
Almost 3 feet in some counties fell. 33"+ on Mitchell.
The land will eventually heal but it will take centuries.
Billions sent to UKRAINE.. instead of helping our USA brothers and sisters in NC. This is enraging 🤬🔥
So what's in the water what are the test results
They found a high concentration of moonshine.
@@PlutogalaxyWell. Yeah. But that's only going to sanitize..
Good question... click bait title without that information.
This is so very sad. God bless all of these people and families. Where is the Government. Please help our country. Please help our AMERICAN PEOPLE!
They can’t be allowed to get away with this. This is the worst kind of crime against humanity. Killed so many people. Destroyed thousands of lives, thousands of families. The damage may never be undone. And why? All because of hate. Because they want power to destroy us. They must be held accountable.
Sweetie, there is no 'they' trying to destroy you. This is called an act of God. It's a tragedy, not weaponized weather.
@@samsmom1491wish I had this kind of confidence. How are you so sure? Ok please share.
Hate caused a hurricane? Total BS.
@Sarahwhitting3 WTF are you are you talking about? I don't think sinister forces conjured a "100yr Hurricane ". Not yet anyway.
What the hell are you talking about? Get help.
7ft in 20mins … I can believe it considering how much rain that region got. I’ve seen creeks and rivers rise just as quick in one hour with only 2-3” of steady rain in that amount of time (enough to get in roadways, especially here in Appalachia where rain water is coming down off of mountains causing even more to fill up).
Now, imagine 20” inches OR MORE over a period constantly pouring down heavily in these mountainous areas. They didn’t expect this storm to just linger over these areas the way it did.
Puts things more into perspective on how and why leaving just wasn’t feasible for all the people who sit and act like “they should have just left! they put themselves in danger staying! hard to feel sorry for them when they ignored the warnings!” … which Sunday-morning quarterbacking is so easy to do with hindsight on how everything turned out, isn’t it? Easy to be perched high in an ivory tower looking down on people with the information we have now …
Usually the people that say that or continuously repeat it weeks after this disaster have never dealt with quick rising waters from a flood and it shows - you can’t _just leave_ when:
1 - the warnings never came until it was way too late
2 - that water rose so quickly that you’re better off just staying and trying to get to higher ground around you, if possible, due to roads being covered and bridges being washed away
3 - it’s more dangerous to be out on these roads with high waters rising, think of culverts that go under roadways, those fill up and water starts backing up on both sides of a road, and it’s going to put pressure on spots where the roads can sink/break away
4 - these people have been through floods before, they know where water usually gets up with a lot of rain and know how to prepare, but when it’s this much rain of biblical proportions? no amount of prep a few days in advance would have helped as this was historical for that area, no one knew it would get that bad as it is unlike anything they had ever been through before with floods
If anything, the people in ETN and WNC need to have constant news coverage put on and them pressure for them to continue to get help. The amount of citizens across the country that has no idea how bad things really were is honestly just sad. This wasn’t a typical flood from a hurricane storm. This was a whole new monster that has people still living in tents relying on the good will of citizens for help as the government just isn’t there … think of all these small rural towns that haven’t even been mentioned once. They can’t even get to them still. It’s downright shameful how people have just turned their backs away from this region when they need help the most. Seems typical for Appalachia, though … we’re the butt of everyone’s jokes and are easily passed over and ignored on the regular. No surprise when a historical disaster happens, the reality of it all is brushed under the rug to minimize it as much as possible - we’re just a bunch of uneducated rednecks/hillbillies that aren’t worth focusing on.
❤🙏🙏🙏😇 my prayers and thoughts go out to all of my brothers and sisters in Christ that have I had to deal with such devastation. God is in control. Jesus is king.👑 keep your prayers and thoughts with HIM👑😍🙏😇
Just curious did god create the previous animals that were wiped off the face of earth by disasters too?
@ the flood there were only eight souls saved on Noah’s Ark
I love in rural Burke Co and love the Green River Gorge. I ride my adv motorcycle through there when I visit Lake Jocassee and stop at fish top to take a break from riding there. Heartbreaking to see the kind of damage the event did down there. Up in the pisgah high country, we got nailed bad too.
Sure am glad I got photos of fish top. Hopefully clean up efforts continue and hopefully we can fix all of our waterways as best we possibly can
Keep up the good work. God is great. Such a beautiful place I miss it so much
You can have your well casing as high as you want. Flood waters won’t get in to well if casing is higher than flood waters. All that surface water from flooding is toxic water. 40 years sanitary water well driller, Maryland and Pa. Master state board certified
There were areas that got 20-40 feet of water, like a “washing machine or blender.”
Please check on other areas who are being told it’s not livable. Possible land grabs. People near Asheville.
Doesn’t seem it was a natural disaster- too many anomalies. Prayers for the victims, God bless the volunteers! 🙏🏼♥️
What’s an anomaly in a humans lifespan when the earth is billions of years old and has had living creatures on it long before humans even existed?
@@mattg7952It's called weather manipulation by man creating these deadly storms. The government has admitted to weather modifications for year's.
@@featheredcoyote5477 That's not what happened here. There are videos on UA-cam that explain, in great detail, but simple enough a third grader can understand. I suggest you educate yourself instead of listening to political b.s. that does NOT ever have your best interests at heart.
@@samsmom1491 Geoenginnered weather has nothing to do with politics. So go educate yourself and pull the wool from your eyes.
@@featheredcoyote5477u handled that well! I have no patience for rudeness and hatefulness. Don't waste your time with trying to inform people like that. I've come to the conclusion I just don't believe some people can handle some of the truths our government (BOTH PARTIES) are involved in and absolutely guilty of. For what it's worth, I certainly don't believe this to have been a natural disaster, not for one minute! Well while it was happening I did. But once it was over it wasn't long before I started to question it. Sadly the more I saw and heard and the more that goes on, one would just about have to be a fool to not atleast want an investigation done. I have peace knowing this is taking place, regardless of the outcomes.
Very informative and well presented. Thanks.
Didnt someone open the Dam and cause that flood?
The spillways on many dams activated which added to the flood. It was either that or the dams could have failed completely which would be even worse.
@@vincentfalcone9218Failed? No. They should have been emptied the weeks prior. They didnt. The Opened them. KAMALAS HUSBAND got the mining lease 24 SEPT. Lithium and Gold. All soil washed away.
WE DEFINITELY CAN POINT THE FINGERS TO USA GOV DID THIS ALONG WITH KAMALA HUSBAND BLACK Rock VANGUARD ETC. WE SIRE CAN AND ARE
Prayers for y'all. Us here in NE TN are hurting and suffering too ...not getting near as much help that we need also. Can't tell you how much is going to slide when the winter freeze and thaw comes every February...it will be bad
I live in Johnson City, Tn. Not far from some of the hard hit areas in Northeastern TN. My kids were out of school for a month after and the community has come together to help using schools as showering centers, food and hygiene distribution sites, water distribution and also provided homeless shelter to families left with no homes. Now it is cold and starting to snow. I can't imagine how the families are staying warm that are now living in tents where homes once stood. I hear about parents who have lost hope... committing suicide in the yard in front of their kids. Then there are young kids committing suicide too, lost without hope.... My heart breaks for our Appalachain families and the land that is forever changed. Driving to work that morning screaming while i had my husband on the phone keeping me calm bc the wind and rain was so crazy that i thought I was going to get flipped over completely and end up in the lake as I crossed the bridges. I made it to work and around 2 pm I heard someone comment about how beautiful the sky was bc the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining .... and I knew the worst was to come bc they did not realize we were in the eye of the storm and the worst was yet to come.
May blessings come upon you, your family, and the effected communities 🙏💜
I'm up in Ashe County. I'm curious. Our well was not overtaken by floods because we live on a hill. I understood I don't need to test water. My curiosity is.. do events like this change the aquifer itself way below the surface?
It depends how deep your well is.
I think to be SAFE, it might be a good idea to test at least once. Better Safe than Sorry!!
Shallow wells should be monitored. Deep wells not so much unless compromised. Also depends on the under surface geology. Here in Missouri we have cave systems that can take surface water underground and then pop back out miles away back to the surface in springs. If it is underground long enough and filtered enough it is fine but I lived on a spring where rain twenty five miles away would come out near me two days later. I never used that spring water for anything but showers. The slopes that the water entered were nearly all cattle pasture so E Coli was going into the caves and coming out in my spring. We knew all of this from dye tracing the waterway underground. Not all of the caves were even on the surface but crack in the limestone and sink holes were letting the surface water into the caves and running under a ridge to my area. Strange to not even have rain, sometimes sunny days, but over there would downpour and two days later our spring run would flood out of it's banks.
@markpashia7067 This is in the mountains, most wells are less than 200 feet deep, and are drawing off of water that's over 2,000 feet above sea level.
So its not like everybody's drawing off of one massive aquifer.
I even test city municipal water---no well is safe---no source is safe ---check twice a year---when I travelled to Nicaragua I used my own water filter and drank the local water ---55 years in the real estate business-----I've been lied to by the best----test---test !
Your testing the water just wondering why your not testing where people's soles of there shoes are melting off and all the animals are dying, just wondering thought that would be addressed!?
I just posted a comment about the speculation that nuclear waste caused that problem but no one is addressing the fact that one of the SAR leaders, Lacey said Black Rock buried nuclear waste here in the 40’s but Black Rock was supposedly founded in 88’. Not sure if anyone has gotten clarification.
I thought we'd see results of the real contaminated water not oh its OK to go kayaking again, I feel for everyone but whatever this is is a misrepresentation o g what's really going on animals and people are dying from the water ,people's shoes are melting off at the soles what if they saw this it's OK dive right in?
It's heartbreaking
ill be on my way soon to help waiting on Fema final call im a water analyst and coming with a team to help
do you have a link for this to help
Tn too with 1000's missing and civilians are being stopped from helping at every turn!
Why are they stopping people?
@silverforest4682 Good question! But they are and have been and lying about it.
Land grab?
There isn't thousands missing.
@@vincentfalcone9218well there’s a helluva lot more missing And deceased than what has been officially reported!
@vincentfalcone9218 BULLSHIT; you must be part of the communist govt. I live here. I know what is going on.
It will never be the same. But it will get better.
Its not from North Carolina your down stream from ohio where the set all those chemicals on 🔥
Suddenly PBS is telling the truth? Hmm
Well kinda.....let's hear them speak on geoenginnered weather and how man can manipulate weather patterns.
Why has there been hardly anything mentioned about the superfund site outside Asheville? How was it impacted?
Thank you so much for this video and thank you to them for love what they does and help working together. God have mercy and touch more hearts in Jesus name.
Religion is garbage.
2 feet of rain . and tell us this is not man made weather . whatever . i call bs .
Geoenginnered weather manipulation by man. Some of us see it. Most keep the wool over the eye's.
Hurricanes and flooding have always been a thing.
@vincentfalcone9218 Correct. Easter has always been a thing too. Doesn't mean the Easter bunny is real though.
@@featheredcoyote5477 That might be the worst comparison I've ever heard.
@vincentfalcone9218 I appreciate that!!! Flew right over your head like expected 😅
I am so sorry. I pray you will get back to a place you can call normal. We lost our home in Hurricane Laura in Louisiana but it wasn’t like this.
NE Tennessee and NW North Carolina seem to be lost in the Asheville headlines. I’m a realtor, but also currently working 10-11 hours a day with debris clean up crews. I personally was at a home and measured the waterline at EIGHT FEET and the home was standing at least that high up off the creek. Can you even wrap your mind around this??
Do you know if any of this testing is occurring on the New River?
Key words everyone doing there part 🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏🙌 God bless all
By checking contaminants down river would offer much different results...
Who exactly is doing the water testing? Can you give the numbers your finding and give a comparison to what the numbers should be on everything that’s being tested ? I’m very interested to know what company is doing the testing please.
God Bless you all , i see human kindness coming back.
Thank you to the gentleman that offered me a seat on the bus. That's a small thing but it all adds up. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Coal ash toxics.
These people and area need the $$$!!! OUT OWN PEOPLE!! NOT to a country that has been bleeding our coffers!!😡😡😡 Take care of our own! God Bless these people and all the people who are helping.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Now we have a tiny glimpse of the flood during Noah’s time. Cataclysmic.
If people hadn't lost their lives and homes, mother nature just reclaimed a different look.
Amen. 🙏.
Wow that’s incredible
The native's prayers were finally answered. GOD is good.
GOD is garbage!
we make the mistake of thinking theres a normal.......ive seen snow storm, then a rain storm, then sleet...then snow all in a few hours..then watching it snow 2 feet all while lightning blazed in the sky!.....20 degrees at 9am then 74 buy noon!......flooding happens everywhere......be smart , build high!
Like my son after his accident....
He looks different, but he's still my son. And he's still beautiful.
Yeah, it just looks fishy to me. The dams or something wasn’t working right something went wrong and I don’t understand why they didn’t get the people out when it was already flooded and I knew a hurricane was coming their way somebody dropped the ball or the state something happened, and you guys need to find out why it happened because if it ever happens again, I’ve never heard of a hurricane in the mountains
We get them all the time here in wnc but usually by time they hit us its just heavy rain usually pretty decent flooding but nothing like this. Tropical storm fred hit us pretty good few years back but nothing compared to this. 2004 we had 2 hit back to back that caused severe flooding but again nothing like this
It is called geoengineered weather.patents b u.s.gov since 1940s can be viewed
Intentional Government Weather Warfare.
“Designer Weather” brought to you by HAARP. Ppl from CA know what “cloud seeding” is bc they’ve been making it rain in CA for years. Now, it’s being used by “God only knows”. The technology was sold from a Govt Weather Agency to an “unknown” during the Clinton’s years. It’s activated by radars (airports, weather stations, military installations, etc). There are also CHEM TRAILS (aluminum, barium & other chemicals) sprayed in the air all over the U.S. ( believe TN has stepped up & banned). Farm animals are being affected horribly by it. Also kills trees from the top down.
I agree why didn't local officials call for evacuation? Florida routinely orders evacuations
And where did everything end up that washed into the river
Better question is what was in the water from the dams?? That is what caused the rush of flooding waters
Dams were n/a.
The best made plans of man and all of the greatest efforts humankind can be totally wiped out in hours or days, sometimes in seconds, by a single act of nature. And there is nothing humans can do to control and change what nature does or does not do.
If this was a natural disaster, please explain why there was little damage when the hurricane ht landfall? This was planned ecoterrorism by the hidden clandestine government it appears to me in another land grab like was done in Lahaina, Maui with direct energy weapons.
In other words, there is no man-made climate change.
My hope is the "down river" water is also being tested.
We have to come together now as Americans and stop the division. This was a wake- up call...
Agreed! ❤️
Check downstream of Nuclear Fuel Services there in Erwin, Tn!
That foodlion is like 3 mins from my place
What about the dam?
Did these people say the water isn’t as bad as they thought? I’m doubting that claim , unfortunately
All the silt filled the rivers and creeks. You know who is responsible. Who got wealthy off of the silt? They should fix this not try to Rob these people. We see what they are doing.
The new river in Fleetwood has drastically change its heat breaking
So is the water poisoning animals and people or not thought that's what the video was about
Of all the samples they took only two were questionable and only one of those were a risk to people but just marginally. They said that in the video. Did you miss that?
@markpashia7067 phone is messing up
Who is in control of water releases along the rivers in this region? Remote workers failed to release water from the dam in my town prior to a storm (forecasted days before) and flooded the town. No one had flood insurance.
Our government should be appalled and ashamed of themselves , but they are not. They can’t give two 💩 and it is a rude awakening that we are on our own ! Build a community.. people you can trust and count on in time of crisis! We all need to go back to basics. I pray everyone can see better days ahead!
And the Damms.
So sad …🦋🇦🇺
Imagine what could be done for these people with the $113 BILLION dollars sent to Ukraine!
I recomend see videos of Real State Mindset Channel in this platform, he is in Tennessee and is a volunteer, he belongs a church an is helping,
The reality is so diferent, this "oficial" media dont tell you all
Give it 20 years and the trees will come back and the New Green River and the New Asheville will take shape.
Maybe some different things will be done? Maybe places will rebuild but not anywhere near the water?
If only Florida would listen. There is so many people living withing three miles of the coastline all around the state.
Where are the thousands of FEMA trailers we have prestaged within 750 miles of WNC?
🫡Greetings!
🕊May the Lord Almighty bless everyone who is helping with the recovery of this beautiful place.
Also, blessings to all families for their resiliency!
🌄😇May everyone have a wonderfully blessed day!
Thank you for doing this but what chemicals are killing the cadaver dogs? Surely they have done autopsies? What chemicals are melting the boots off of volunteers in Swannanoa and Bat Cave? I saw videos where volunteers where coughing up blood and having rashes when getting mud on themselves. This kind of seems like a feel good piece so everyone thinks everyone is “just fine”.
You should run and go check for money underneath your pillow because I'm pretty sure the tooth fairy put some there for you and be sure to enjoy Christmas when Santa Claus squeezes down your chimney and comes for cookies and milk.
The media has stopped showing anything. People will forget with the holidays coming.
The first patent for weather control was issued in 1891 and it for a method that involved shooting liquefied carbonic gas into the atmosphere was patent #462,795
Do you need good drinking water go to the highest top of the mountain
Its the water 😮😮
These religious people need to understand facts. Stop looking stupid. Open your minds.
Does anybody know how big the water cargo space in the alien ships are in Antarctica? Cuz that's more water than the clouds can carry and who's the one that turned them clouds against the people anyway check the dobblers? On a serious note you're all in my prayers what devastation biblical proportions
earth is flat
Those are not aliencrafts. They were manufactured in Lockheed or Skunkworks from crashed benevolent alien craft the clandestine hidden government shot down with scalar technology. This disaster was planned which is why 2 buses of illegal aliens from the southern border were dropped off 2 days before the disaster. May the survivors be blessed beyond anything I can imagine. This is a planned land grab.
