CLEANING UP HELENE'S MESS: WHERE DO WE EVEN START? | UNBELIVABLE KINDNESS AND GENEROSITY

[@Appalachianeclectic]

I can't express how thankful our area is for all the help. That being said, Please do not send clothes folks, we have thousands of pounds of clothes. Things right now needed are carbon monoxide detectors, gas, heaters, cleaning supplies, dehumidifiers, and such. If anyone wants to help we are taking donations to help pur community. The money will go towards fuel, food, cleanup, and repair for our local Bakersville community. Thank you VERY MUCH for your thoughts during this hard time.

Aaron and Coree love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and Coree and helping others

Hell hath no fury. Hell learned what it knows from mother nature. She will take care of her planet.

[@marypettitt9150]

Coree, your narration and script were so informative. Aaron, I loved seeing the Kibota. So there is a usage of sorts for the sludge - shoring up roads that are partially washed out. As I recall from Mississippi and Nile River education, these rivers, in their flooding, provided the silt, which was great for crops. But nature doesn't realize that our fossil fuel use has contaminated the sludge. 😢 Thank the heavens that the Appalachian and surrounding areas are filled with new pioneers such as yourselves to work together, untangling this mess. Bless you all.

Aaron you are a doer.. I knew you would be in the middle of the clean up. Good for you and Coree.

[@lorijerden2653]

Thank you for making the videos and showing us some of what Helene and her floods did to your world. You are doing great things for your community.

[@Appalachianeclectic]

We are just trying to do what we can. It's hard to just stand here and watch!

[@diannebergum2438]

Aaron, you have many, many talents. Bless you for helping.

Thank you for doing what you can Aaron and Coree. Love seeing communities coming together

My heart goes out to everyone affected by Hurricane Helene. Hurricane Helene got us with the outer bands. Hurricane Milton came through and caused enormous damage to many people in my area of Florida. Many suffered total loss and still have no electricity. Stay safe!

[@theresedryden1829]

You both are doing awesome work. God bless you both

[@jen8491]

Wow! That is just one property that is totally destroyed. I can't even imagine what it is like there. You and Coree did a wonderful job with this video. Thank you for being such caring people ❤

[@Appalachianeclectic]

Thank you! This is just one of hundreds of properties. This is going to be a long process for everyone.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

[@carolb29]

You 2 got so lucky in that storm. Glad you're out there helping the community. Small towns are the best

[@Appalachianeclectic]

It could have been a lot worse, but we will help to rebuild this community!

So sad for all the destruction and thank you so so much for helping out ❣️❣️❣️

[@Appalachianeclectic]

We have a lot of work ahead of us, but seeing so many people willing to help has really lifted our spirits.

[@peggywilson9929]

@@Appalachianeclectic is FEMA still there ? I heard they left

[@Appalachianeclectic]

@peggywilson9929 they are still here. And more important the contractors they hire are here in full foece

[@sadie21962]

If cleaning any muck everyone should be wearing PPE gear and respirators. The silicates and toxic dust, as well as the silt is very toxic from many reports. Be sure to take water samples also, and test at independent labs. Be careful. Thanks for helping each other.

[@Appalachianeclectic]

You are right. We are doing our best to stay safe, but it is not always easy in the middle of the chaos.

Hey Arron, so good to see you here, are you still in contact with “the old Bird Farm?

[@larryfeeks6620]

Great video, Coree and Aaron!

[@edieboudreau9637]

Nice footage.

[@gardenextra7415]

Every bit helps ❤ great work 😊

[@kenbyers8036]

Thank you both for helping your neighbors. The situation is so terrible. Cory said the mud was toxic. Has the mud been tested or is everyone assuming the mud is toxic?

[@Appalachianeclectic]

We know for a fact this sludge cannot grow plants, and in larger cities such as Asheville it is making people sick and killing pets.

[@karenwoodward7291]

Also lots of good firewood.

[@dixie3086]

Aaron, what happened to your little Kabota tractor? I know your Mom said something about it but I can't remember what she said? Sure would come in handy now.

[@Appalachianeclectic]

I don't have anywhere to put it here so I left it at the farm for them to use.

[@melissahalbert9455]

Hi Melissa. We were untouched by the storm. Our little farm is surrounded by ridges, which shielded us from the wind. ​@@melissahalbert9455

[@bret354]

I've never heard why it's so toxic. Herd a man and his dog died shortly afterward cause he didn't know and swam in the creek. Both were said to have died but no one ever said why it's that toxic!

[@Appalachianeclectic]

Think about the amount of sewage, gas products from gas stations, and all the chemicals from factories, I mean every bad thing that people store in safe places because it is hazardous. Now take all that bad stuff and dump it all in the river at the same time and mix it up with the mud. The mud holds the nasty stuff, and it is still there when the water goes back down.
