[@chasethecat3839]

Oh, Congress just gave themselves a they couldn't bother to send $5 down to Western North Carolina but they gave themselves a nice raise

[@love.JESUS.2day]

this poor man is still in shock!..😢

[@eartha911]

I'm an old man from Waynesville, now living in Va.. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. If I lost my cat during this horror, I'd really lose hope. I hate that this is part of your trying to regroup. Stay strong.

[@mikerichardson7053]

Still praying every day for the people this has impacted especially in Fairview.😢

[@corporatemaq]

This is sad. This country continues to lie us over and over again. While the government squandered billions over the decades on foreign soil. We the people need change and a new beginning

[@debb4099]

On another video talking about the funding, they said these people have to apply and re apply and re apply. Sorry I can't recall what channel it was. Don't stop trying was what they stressed because there are people getting help with persistence

[@gcangel7673]

I am retired and have a ton of skills, would be happy to support any owner that wants to stay, renting a spot on their land and volunteer helping clean their home, dry wall replacement, paint etc.

Thanks for reporting.

[@yaya196673]

Thats crazy

[@elenasaalaquavivarealtyinc5198]

I'm so sorry

[@Tammy121111]

😢 I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW THEY ARE REALLY FEELING, THERE'S TONS OF STORIES & WAY TO MANY SCAMMERS THAT ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING & THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT JUST WHO NEEDS THE MOST HELP & KEEPS HOPING THAT THEY CONTINUE TO SURVIVE! IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THEY CAN GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT THEY HAD !

[@marklucas6114]

How did greedy individuals become able to take over all these people properties? They used the tax records to find all the properties that have mortgages on them. Then contact the mortgage companies to find out what was still owed on the properties. They told the mortgage companies they were trying to purchase the property. They would contact the mortgage companies to pay off the loan. Once they paid off the mortgage loan they became the new owners of the property.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

The Rivers are much wider now. Seems to me that it would be almost impossible to ever have a flood like this again.

[@frankg.5150]

flood insurance is a joke nothing on his property would be covered by it. went through the same thing on west coast. plus there is a limit on the amount of money that they pay. 250,000. dollar limit. no matter how much it is worth.

[@thebklynprophet]

Katrina response was the worst in history what the hell she talking about

[@autumnnoelle5221]

I put money more people died here than Katrina!

[@autumnnoelle5221]

or 9/11 what are they hiding why isn't this being talked about!

[@qroadside]

Totally bonkers

[@dwtwo533]

Bless you

[@JaxesGame]

❤🤗🙏🙏🙏 "We need people's time and money to clean up and rebuild. I have the skill I just need some materials." First person I've heard mention Red Cross giving them a hot tent. House passed 100 billion for hurricane victims yesterday hopefully that money will start flowing into the bank accounts of those who need it most quickly. It's ridiculous the Senate tried to make it part of a last minute Omnibus instead of getting the money out to the people right away. $750 and a motel voucher for a month doesn't exactly cut it when we are already 10 weeks in.💕🙏💕

[@lxmzhg]

The government should be able to do much better than that, they could place a moratorium on house tax payments & mortgage payments. After all we, the people, were forced to bail out the bankers... remember the "TOO BIG TO FAIL" line?

[@JaxesGame]

@lxmzhg I think that's just to get them through March but it goes through things like HUD block grant Agg., Small business to the state then it goes out to the people through the state. There's just way too much overhead and red tape. I saw one report that said about 8,000 homes were damaged in North Carolina alone. Just getting water, sewer, roads and power back to these people has been a daunting task I'm sure. They can set up military tent camps in a day. But they didn't call out the military right away like they should have the organization was extremely poor.

[@tommyhayworth887]

Jim is just your normal mountain folk willing to help someone else when he has lost a lot himself. I live in North Carolina and it bothers me to see people struggle with all the government red tape and people have lost everything they own including loss of life.

[@RubyW7944]

Where is his dog?

[@franklincheney3653]

This appears to be a misleading clickbait video title, implying some govt collusion changing the ownership on the the man's land/home deed. I heard no mention of such things in the video. Clickbait will erode your credibility, with the side effect of lessening donations to those you are trying to help.

[@Tammy121111]

WHERE DOES IT SAY ANYTHING POLITICAL OR THE GOVERNMENT WAS TAKING ANYTHING FROM him!?

[@Agent.99]

Right! I don’t understand the video title that the man “Loses” his property when he still owns it??? Clickbait for sure.

[@lindalcampbell4390]

I keep up it was going on. I’m just one old person. I did donate money but always interviews. These people really don’t wanna talk about what’s going on they just like you have to pull it out of them

[@tkane5510]

Why was there a picture of Trump in the thumbnail. Does someone think he is going to help this guy, or anyone in Asheville for that matter?!

[@TtowneMs1013]

You know this for a fact? FEMA/Bribem has done absolutely nothing but make things worse....anything is better than Bribem/Kamal .t0

[@JaxesGame]

Trump set up a GoFundMe for these people the day after it happened. He was on the ground with Samaritan's Purse and semi truck loads of food, water and fuel the day after also. The GoFundMe raised like 10 million dollars. Samaritan's Purse has been on the ground ever since if you want to volunteer it's a good place to start. They are very organized.

[@autumnnoelle5221]

Trump isn't going to do anything....all part of the plan Mango Messiah!

[@truthiscriminal]

No joke!

[@skylarsartnphotography3450]

I don't trust any president and not expecting anything from Trump. But after the experience with how Biden administration does things, all we can do is hope he may do things differently 🙏 as they say, Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst

Did you not hear him say how bad the mold is?

For the algorithm.

[@scottpollan6364]

Go beg trump your savior for $

[@Agent.99]

I don’t understand the title of this video. How did the man LOSE his property??? He still owns it.

[@davidweathington9137]

You badly, need to research this MAN S ,intire situation before you know what he will have as a result of this planned event,with enormous collateral damage Victims

[@marcspence1905]

Womp womp, what goes around comes around as Ive told you Colonizers!

[@martmac6205]

You gotta be kidding me about that sick comment

[@realestatemindset]

​@martmac6205 this is the type of evil that is out there trying to knock these people down. It's absolutely shocking but important to understand that it's real.

[@TtowneMs1013]

Who are the colonizers?

[@MultiRocknroll123]

Comments like these show a lack of fear for the triune God that gives you every undeserving breath, heartbeat, etc. that you take for granted, and a lack of love for the people he has made

[@shines22]

Lil smokie! And his cool car!

[@RubyW7944]

"Geological event", that's the truth. "It is okay to feel bad", yes it is. Cold, dreary, your house is gone and what is left the critters got into and made things a bigger mess. Hugs and prayers on that one. I am not there, but I think it is kind of important to talk about and discuss an AAR to learn for future events that happen where no one knows what the heck to do, where to start, how to organize the chaos. Hopefully at some point that can be done. Everything has been done on a wing and a prayer, I am in awe at how well people have pulled together and managed to do what they have done to keep moving forward. Paid, professional, organized, emergency teams ready to handle anything w/rebuilding teams and materials is what needs to be created, in other words what FEMA and the gummint should be doing. Leave it to the private sector to make it happen and get it done for any future disasters.
