Hurricane HELENE 2 Month UPDATE & NEEDS... WORST Hurricane in HISTORY

Today I share some footage I took from Asheville NC and the surrounding cities and towns around Asheville NC. There are 3 primary needs right now! First is building material for all the buildings and homes devastated by the hurricane. Next is big machinery, bulldozers, dump trucks, excavators to clean debris. Lastly money so we can see a need and fulfill that need. Links below for financial support or you can use the THANKS button as we will continue to forward funds to front line workers, families and people impacted by the storm.

I can see how you feel hopeless and overwhelmed by the job ahead. That is when you pick what doable for that day and just go one day at a time. There are a lot of people helping but help is still far short of what is needed. I believe help brings hope also, knowing someone cares. I'm disabled but I can pray. I feel bad because I think if I could just go pick up paper that'd be something. There's a church from south Georgia that goes up providing meals and supplies and they plan to keep going until.

Think 95% back to normal is stretching it a bit far. My heart breaks for all who were affected horribly by this devastating disaster. The government isn't helping but with the bare minimum if that. Lives, homes, jobs were lost and people are still unaccounted for. People are sleeping in tents if they're lucky enough to get one n the weather there is getting colder. Just heard the tiny homes that were brought in to help house some.. inspectors are saying they cannot be lived in that's just wrong on so many levels. I have close family members that live in one of those hardest hit areas that's why I know it's not 95% back to normal. You drove right through there honestly how can you say that's anywhere near normal! I really do appreciate the footage you filmed n posted with the hope enough people will see video and maybe just maybe it will put some fire under our officials in higher up categories to send all these people some help. Praying for all who were affected by Helene. Thank you again for this video. Blessed Be

FEMA is like most govt organizations...too much red tape and hoops to jump through that makes it a dinosaur of an operation. FEMA should be broken down to State or regional level with each branch having the autonomy to make it's own decisions and pull funding from their own pot of money and at the federal level. The inability to act quickly has been this way since the Dept was created. You can't blame the politics, it is just the way all government departments operate...when it comes to emergency management FEMA is too decentralized from the action. It just doesn't work as currently set up. Victims need boots on the ground - National guard, reservists, military civil engineers from all branches. Devastation like this is beyond what locals can handle. Federal and State agencies need to study how Japan handled their response to the 2011 tsunami. Seeing what they've achieved is pretty amazing. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tragedy. Keep on giving updates so that they are not forgotten amongst all the chaos happening in America. This is not about politics, but helping people in their time of need.

This same situation happened to a small town in middle Tennessee. August 21,2021 and killed 20 people. Including twin babies, children and adults. It was horrific and happened in moments with absolutely no warning. Today there is still so much clean up needed. Three area’s of government housing with multiple duplexes and apartment buildings still sit today just as they were when the water receded. Cars sitting in them still. There was very little help given from the government. What help that did come was local people, nonprofit organizations, churches and Mennonites. There was little grant money given to those who owned their own homes but basically it was up to the owners to rebuild without the help of insurance because it wasn’t a flood area, so no flood insurance. Slowly things are looking better but 3 years later there is no mistaking where the flood waters had been when you see how much still needs cleaning up.

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

Folks, we have a situation on our hands. After this brutal cold-snap for the next three nights, it's going to warm up and the weather is calling for rain and wind. That, with 30-40 degree temperatures is the worst-possible scenario. Tents aren't going to be enough. We have to get some tractor-trailers in there to get people into. With the heaters, they should be all right through the night. This is the only way they are going to survive. In this weather, if you're wet, you're in big trouble. We're talking about kids and old people, too. If you know someone with a tractor-trailer, ask them to go on up starting on saturday, when the rain is supposed to come. Otherwise, call your local trucking companies and urge them to act. The main force of the rain should only last 2-3 days, and the trucks would be free. From monday (today) to wednesday, 1-3 inches of snow are predicted and 3-5 inches of snow for places higher than 3500 ft. That's all going to melt in the rain. Pray to stop this rain. If you're more new-age, or your beliefs are more nature-based, go ahead and do some elemental magick. Situation critical.

And for those of you who are wondering "Where's the government", please believe me when I tell you that EVERY level of government is active here. FEMA, the state, the counties, the towns, and of course, OUR NEIGHBORS. That's why we are 75% back to "normal". But nothing is normal here anymore. It is not normal to see big rigs upside down in the river. It is not normal to see mud-covered debris 15 feet high in the trees. It is not normal for our friends to have no job and no home to go to. That will be the New Normal for a long time to come.

Gordon, my heart breaks for everyone there that was affected by this tragic event, I get frustrated by the armchair calvary blaming the ones who open the gates of those dams, do they not realize that the pressure of the water would eventually break the dam and still get same results, good lord. I also don't understand why people are going about rebuilding process, once water has been there, all those foundations are going to be very unstable now and lose the ability to withstand their structural purpose so why are they not just tearing everything down and starting from scratch is my question???

[@TreeofLife-r3d]

It's been a while since Hurricane Harvey 🌀 and the Texas deep freeze. I lost my house 🏠 😕. No one came with donations. No one came with donated funds. There was no insurance. Lots of debt $18,000. My car needed to be replaced. Black mold everywhere. AT LEAST YOU HAVE HELP. I HAD NOTHING. STILL RECOVERING. Life is hard ❤. Start forgetting the past. Take a deep breath. Do what you can. A little bit at a time. Keep moving forward. It will take many many years. I am still working on it. I did send jackets, sweaters, tea, salt 🧂 and pepper and plastic utensils. 😊❤ Wishing everyone well. Hugs 🫂

[@Thyalwaysseek]

If every level of government was active here you wouldn't need to tell us we'd see it with our own eyes, what I see is a people abandoned, no help other than local church groups and civilian volunteers, absolutely shameful.

[@mrj-charles6383]

@@Thyalwaysseek you are a probably arguing with a paid poster. Someone spreading misinformation. Propaganda to trick you.

[@Thyalwaysseek]

@mrj-charles6383 Yes I think we know who the propagandist here is.

[@Cobaltcreek]

That entire region should be covered with National Guard trucks and equipment right now Just saw a news story where Biden asked for an additional 24 Billion for Ukraine

[@Michaelcj-m2d]

National Guard controled by the state you live in. As the State your in.

[@Cobaltcreek]

@@Michaelcj-m2d Yes but they can still be sent from other states either by request of the Governor or the President of the United States can Title 10 them and then they become federalized and active duty which means he can send them where ever he wants he is the Commander in Chief

[@bluebirdgramma6317]

Today, Monday, brybem sent 750Million worth of military stuff to u-cra--aaane.

[@TheJudgeGTO]

I offered to send 12 dump trucks and supporting equipment, i think with trucks excavator's and dozers i offered 30 pieces, but the state declined the offer.

[@Frostin_Austin]

I know people on ground zero wouldn’t have.

[@cindyscalf-te8wl]

It's like someone pulling strings doesn't want these people to recover. I have saw several KZbin channels in NC and Tennessee asking for heavy equipment and volunteers.

[@TheJudgeGTO]

@Frostin_Austin The state couldn't even give a timeline on repayment, I done the numbers if I ran them 10 hours a day and 6 days a week it was 9000 +/- gallons a week in fuel roughly $32,040.00 just for fuel, I could float that for a few weeks, however not knowing a timeline it isn't beneficial to me or my employees. The hard numbers are scary. Labor and per diem combined is $93,000.00 a week, add those two together it's $125,040.00 every 6 days. Those are just the basic numbers. They need to figure out how they are going to replace almost 47,000 yard of gravel for every mile of road. I spent a week there surviving and and 3D mapping. the numbers are astronomical just to repair infrastructure. Doesn't include residential drives and roads, ten's of billions. It will take years to test every private water well that was impacted by the flood. A disaster like this has never happened in the US this is worse case, if I had to compare it to a disaster it is comparable to the Japan tsunami of 2011. Nobody was prepared. How could someone prepare for whole mountains sliding and not just one but many.

[@TheJudgeGTO]

@cindyscalf-te8wl you may be right, I've seen a few YT channels pointing out that the county and state isn't allowing those small homes due to their BS regulations so people are forced to live in tents,

[@cindyscalf-te8wl]

@TheJudgeGTO maybe you could try getting a hold of a church or Samaritan purse. They could probably get you in touch with the right people to be able to volunteer/donate. My grand daughter goes to Cherry Grove Baptist Church in Tennessee. They have been a big support to the community in our state, (Tennessee). Maybe contact someone from that church. To my understanding it's mostly churches and communities that have volunteered to help all the victims. Our area of upper NE Tennessee has been hit hard as well. Thank you so much for your willingness to help. God bless you.

The question of the year…..Where’s FEMA?

[@JeremyJ-sw2mi]

Apparently only cares about politics from what I hear

[@mrneary22]

@ not sure! Everywhere in my travels its locals helping locals. FEMA comes around to give hope and a pittance. If not for the locals, we wouldn’t be 1/100th of where we are now. Its crazy.

[@JeremyJ-sw2mi]

@ idk something is going on with this country and it’s quite scary

[@MichelleStafford-d8h]

They are out of money. Gave it all to the Illegal immigrants!!

[@Turk_2023]

Here is the job title of FEMA per google. FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) mission is to support the citizens and first responders to promote that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. So it sounds like they are just moral support.

[@katjones2781]

Lots of people are still recovering from Hurricane Helene here in Florida and the gentrification is starting

I saw where people were literally freezing to death. The mountains get really cold in the winter out of all the other thing's...Things will never be the same but Don't give up. Please help TN as well. Much Love to you all💜😇🦋

[@bywaterbeatsproduction]

It still doesn't bother anybody that they're deliberately hiding the number of missing and deceased? Nobody is raising any hell over this. It's almost as if everyone who knew those people died with them and there's no one left to talk about it except for the folks on the outskirts of the destruction zone. This is so eerie to me. 😬

[@Jc-ms5vv]

Government wants you shopping not thinking about abrupt cc about to wipe us out

[@Fritz0616]

As many as 30,000 people are missing it has been said n now I can see why.

Thank you for a good comprehensive coverage of the damage. Still unbelievable the damage caused by the force of water. Heartbreaking! Praying for all!

[@joseph-frankbrocchus6575]

I found interesting was after all of the rainfall in September, it did not rain in October & November and someone was telling me about fires in the mountains after all of the devastation in September/that is just awful and incredible at the same time

Water levels rose 47feet depending upon how steep the valley is. Biltmore was 27 feet but consider how flat the area is the water level spread considerably!!!

[@bellalee6927]

Thank you for this video. And, for keeping us aware and in touch with what is still going on. Prayers.

[@fdc1374]

I empathise with all the residents of the destroyed communities as we had horrendous flooding in Canmore, Calgary and the surrounding Canadian Rocky Mountains, in June 2013. There was also a severe flooding event in November 2021 in British Columbia that caused devastation for hundreds of miles. I still remember the river in front of my home hurtling past at 45mph with huge waves that looked like the sea. The river rose 20 feet in 2 hours. I could not believe what my yes were seeing. To this day, when I look at the river in front of my home I cannot fathom how it can rise so fast in so short a time. I am so sorry that there was so much loss of life and whole communities due to the Hurricane. I"ve donated to the Samaritans Purse, from Canada. I know that they sent teams to help as fast as they could. Thank you for making this video and for posting it.

[@panamint]

Why are there no National Guard Troops cleaning up, and getting the waterways cleared so that when the rains come, we don't have more flooding and damage. Start rotating different National Guard troops in there with the equipment that they have just sitting at the Armorys.

[@PaulWhitcomb-ty6md]

What you have described is their main duty. Instead, they are being used as re-inforcements for the Pentagon's military escapades in smaller countries.
