The preciousness of a child singing. They know they are loved and safe with Mom&Dad!

Unfortunately 2 weeks won't touch how long it will take in some places.

Teamwork and creative problem solving ❤

Glad you are OK... missed you... love hearing the singing in the car..

I live near the Oregon coast and emergency prep include preparation for the "big" cascadia earthquake and tidal wave. One thing we have to consider is "islanding" of the communities when roads/bridges fail. This winter we had a mock islanding event with an unusual ice storm...trees falling everywhere, no power etc...something to think of is the older people in the community who are on oxygen generators...know your neighbors and their needs. ❤️🙏

Thank you all for setting out to check on others. Arthur and Bri you both are amazing.

prayers sent

Art… you are a good man and you do have a good head on your shoulders. No , matter what Pls guard yourself your Mind and heart🙏

Power in some areas may be back on in a few weeks but other areas where substations were destroyed it may be many months. Unfortunately Americas stockpiles of grid components were sent to Ukraine.

Still sending Prayers to everyone from me in Australia 🙏🧡

Glad you guys are safe. Praying for all yall

Praying for All...God bless everyone 🙏🙏🙏

Oh my goodness. So much destruction. Glad your all ok 🙏 I'm in florida and this was one of the worst storms I've seen hit the coast and U.S. in a long time

Hi, I am sorry this is happening .I live in Puerto rico and we experience a doble hurricane in 2017. It was terrible and still there are areas that are still not recuperated 100% . 😢

🙏😢🙏

Amazing community spirit you all have. Can’t get over how proficient Jonas is on these machines & can’t get over how god works in mystery ways that they bought this machinery thinking of other use but he knew they would need them for this🙏🙏🙏🙏answered. Thank you for sharing this and your thoughts it’s been amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm glad your family is OK. You are doing a very much needed service to your community. Be sure to take care of your own physical and mental needs. Discussion on the number of bodies found in the area is heart wrenching.

We love y'all!! Hang in there! 🇺🇲🗽🇺🇸 America first. 🌹❤️🙏❣️ From: Black Mountain/ Swannanoa area.

PRAYERS FOR ALL,🙏🙏🙏🙏

They are saying today that I-40 won't be open again until September of 2025

Wow. The cleaning up is pretty intense. The Rhodes haven't even shared some of this yet so it is neat to see you working together to help out. As someone who has been through a few heavy-duty floods and hurricanes with no internet or even any electricity for a week or more, I find it is actually really nice. I sometimes enjoy it (not the death or injury part), but maybe because I am a sociable person and know how to occupy my time (though when it is very cold out, it was not fun to deal with). Finding bodies though is awful and so terrible. Wow. I am so sorry to hear about all that. Thanks for sharing the reality of things with us. May God be with everyone.

Art, thank you for your expertise.

So sorry you and your community is going through this. Please know that you're all in our thoughts.

With 40 shut down that’s a major highway for Asheville I hope they get up and going without it a lot of stores will run out of just the can goods once they get power back but I’m really glad there all ok

My heart breaks for all affected by this tragedy. So thankful your family is okay and that the Rhodes are okay. Things can be replaced. Lives can't be. I can't imagine the time it will take to get all these communities back to even halfway normal. Praying for everyone. God Bless you all.

Art, thank you so much for helping Justin and his family it looks like it was VERY MUCH appreciated ❤ I could tell on your face that you are very worried about other friends and family. I'm praying for you and your family that the good Lord brings you "some" comfort and that your worry is lessoned. 🙏 i know full well what worry can do for a person's mental health. Art, on a brighter note, I did see where ppl are bringing in Mules to haul supplies to ppl way up in the high country. The Lord and our prayers ARE WORKING. ❤ You all take care and many blessings to you and your family, Laurel

Heartbreaking destruction but heartwarming to see one another helping each other. Seeing the young children jump right in was amazing & the young Rhodes boys do an incredible job on the heavy equipment. They amaze me. Prayers for all for strength, hope & guidance.

Take care and be safe, Thanks for the up date,

Here in the UK we are seeing very little coverage of the aftermath of Helene. Our news is dominated by events in the Middle East and home-based politics. Your footage is so important to help the outside world understand the extent of the devastation and the overwhelming impact it is having on the lives of people there. There is so little we can do to help but our thoughts are with you and I hope all the family, friends and neighbours you are worrying about are ok. Watching your videos has made me realise once again how dependent we have all become on our utilities, mass communication networks and 24/7 access to retail and how so many people exist in little bubbles of oblivion never believing anything can go wrong. There is so little resilience built into our systems and our lives in this modern age. My pantry is very small by American homesteading standards but I’m pretty sure it is better stocked than most of my friends and neighbours. We have enough to see us through a few weeks rather than a few days if the worst happened. Please keep posting if you can find the time, your testimony is important. I hope the situation improves soon. Take care.

💜💜 The community!

Thanks for the update

Art. I'm sorry I can only pray for all of you & those that have lost their lives.

Art and Brie, congratulations that you both and the kids can help in this massive hurricane that came through. I am proud of you both and the kids kids for wanting to help and do the things that you can do and are able to do. Again, congratulations for being able to help other victims in the area and a little bit away from where you live right now Art And Bri❗❗❗

amidst all the horrible effects of the storm, the kiddos are learning so much!!

Art, thank you for sharing with us today! I've been so worried about all of you...Rhoads, Hollar's, Fit Farmer, Sow the Land and more!! Faith will sustain all of us!!

Thank you for giving on the ground info about NC. Everything there is so horrific. Heard 5here might be carpetbaggers on the way to NC to buy up the land. Many prayers

Thank you for all the good you do. Your family has always had the spirit of caring. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted by this event.❤

Those who are hiking up the price of gas need to be in jail if there is a jail left. How deplorable. God keep you and your family safe and give you patience and calmness.

So glad you are safe and out helping the community. Prayers for everyone 💚

Hey Art, hopefully the national gaurd will get on the bridges. Irene took multiple bridges in a row, they had them build back up in an amazingly short time! Thanks so much to you and your family 😍! JO JO IN VT 💞

Can wet hay can catch fire, especially when soaked like yours was. I think you might need to remove all the hay and give them air to dry. Otherwise it might burn down your hay barn.

Praying that your communities continue healing and have the strength to stand up to the mining creepers. That you are able to rebuild your lives growing stronger.

7:27 this was too long of a clip

Believe it or not you’re posting about Justin‘s house before Justin is

I love seeing the kids participate in everything. Great teaching mom and dad

Please be safe when you head out. I hope you find your friends are ok and the farm is safe. Take care and God bless you.

Bri from Scratch aw wow 😮 I hope everything is going well
