I’m very sorry, your parents were such welcoming and nice folks

Are you kidding me with this comment??? This is not a flood zone!!!!

@cyndiwilliams9954 anything by a river is a flood zone.

@ There was no river there. It was a creek you could jump across. Please stop!!! You don’t know what you are talking about.

🙏

I never thought I would live through something like this. Thank you for your kind words. I am the guy with the portable sawmill (Lumber John). From what you're saying, it sounds like Andy made it out alright?

@@jmvoltrino No way! It’s you, Lumber John??? The name didn’t quite match up with what I had. But you know, KZbin and all. Soooo glad you are ok! That really makes me smile! I know your property is pretty low, on the low side of the road, so have thought of you!!! Andy passed 2 years ago this month. Miss him still! Where does the time go? His son works for me now. It was his son, Andy’s wife/sons mother, and sister/Andy’s daughter that escaped. Saw their dog washed away with their house and trailer. They escaped so fast, the mom even had to leave all her medical equipment behind and she ended up at Mission Hosp. Then the dog was found stranded on an island in the middle of the creek turned river the next day. A bright spot in an otherwise unimaginable event. On a positive note, I’m sure all that lumber you milled for us that we replanked the covered bridge with helped give it the strength it needed to endure! I’m sure you’ve seen it. It’s a bit crooked now, but standing still! I’ve been so heavy hearted this past week since it was the services for 3 ladies I knew from Chestnut Hill church and their husbands. Next week is services for family members of people I know. So really, I appreciate the reply, it did make me happy to hear you are ok!

If its in fairview not great

It's nearby. A little further north I think

Yes it is. The beginning of the video is where their homes were.

It doesn't look good there. Flat creek road is closed but old fort road is open with damage. Your property is probably still there guessing by the shape of the valley. I'm in candler and if I get a chance I'll try to see if I can learn anything more about your area.

Your neighborhood should be fine, I can try to take a drive up there tomorrow. There were two major debris flows, one following flat creek and one following the creek just east of Davey Crockett rd. That one swept through Tyler’s diesel shop. But as long as you weren’t in the river valleys it’s likely okay.

Do you still need an answer on this? My email address on this profile works. I live in Fletcher. I only drive a little C-HR, though. I can hike a bit but don't want to leave my car for looters either.

They're in recovery mode now. I'm from candler and thank you for helping my neighbors.

Search teams have completed their work. On to cleanup and rebuilding.

It's not pretty but the catastrophic damage is further out past the schools. The schools are still there and are aid stations right now.

@@tracym8952 ok that's what I was wanting to know so it's on back the farther you go into Fairview is where the most horrific damage is

Any update I’m having same problem and I see the same bit is loose on my Skoda (1.9tdi same engines )

@@jordanstanley4623 I'm not sure about the ABS randomly kicking in, but if that vacuum connection is loose at the tandem pump you'll likely have vacuum leaks. My JB weld attempt with the pump still on the car eventually failed. Fortunately I had to remove the pump when doing a camshaft swap. With the pump off the car you have much better access to properly goop on the JB weld and get a strong weld.

Yes. If you have a vacuum leak it will severely degrade the performance of the brake booster, depending on the severity of the vacuum leak. Sometimes the leak is minor and it’s able to “store” enough vacuum in the vacuum reservoir in between brake applications, so the booster will only fail to work sometimes.

@@jmvoltrino i was cleaning out my intake manifold, and on reinstallation of the manifold and egr cooler, i accidentally broke the arm of the intake manifold vacuum actuator. it’s located on the passenger side of the engine, shaped like a little circular plunger with an arm (pointing towards the front of the car) going to a pivoting bracket on the intake manifold. it’s just below your “doggie collar fix” and is made of plastic. when i reinstalled the intake system, i took it for a drive and under high boost, high load, up until VGT actuation i get a very loud squeal and a “flat spot” in my power curve. i have no clue what creates this, and i’m not sure if that broken arm on that actuator could create that noise. i have a new one on the way but it’s not gonna be here for a week or so and i’m kind of scared to drive my car because this noise did not happen before and i don’t want to damage anything further. any thoughts? i thought it could be that intake manifold vacuum actuator arm being broken but i don’t know what to do anymore. thanks in advance

I ended up having to goop on the jb weld with the tandem pump off the car (was doing a camshaft change so it worked out nicely). It was too hard to get a god strong seal on the bottom of the footing with on the car.
