HURRICANE HELENE: This Embreeville Family Watched Their Home Float Away | FLOOD FOOTAGE

[@TinyLuvsBostons]

You’re definitely a gifted storyteller, Ryan. I’m in Texas, but my parents grew up in Middle & Southeast Tennessee. This is a story of tragedy AND hope that needs to be kept alive. Thank you

[@marykaylayman1078]

Thank you for finally bringing light to what happened here in Tennessee. No one seemed to notice the suffering, devastation right in our own backyard 😢 Thanks for taking the time to show all this.

[@mackwilson9688]

Me and my wife live in the camper on AJ Willis Rd. please point your camera at what was peoples homes otherwise no one understands the severity and impact of the destruction. Teddy is my neighbor. He and his wife and family had a beautiful home they are good people like just about everyone here in the area. Our house was just behind were the camper sets. We are 500 ft from the river. The water was 12-14 ft deep at our home. We have been here 32 years this March. Thank you for covering our area and the surrounding areas to tell the story of what happened here also.

I didn’t know Tennessee had been hit this hard. So sad to see the people who lost all. No doubt there were others that lost loved ones in this horrible tragedy. God bless you for showing that there are so many more who need help.

[@OGNanny]

Thanks for covering Bumpass Cove. Many people without homes. 😢

[@sandihauger320]

Such a beautiful stretch of the Nolichucki. Stayed there last summer and planned to return this year. Everything gone. Washed away. So very sad.

[@noneya3274]

I appreciate you covering this..I will never forget!!

[@Christine_J]

Ryan, you’re telling the families stories with compassion and empathy, which makes all the difference in the world. Please continue to do so, it will take you far in life.

[@jboder]

Thank you. Being a North Carolinian, I truly appreciate what you are doing.

[@pamketron]

There are probably a lot more areas that haven’t had any news coverage. You are doing an amazing job telling these peoples stories. Keep up the great work. You are a kind and truthful person. The world needs more like you. The devastation is so far and wide it’s hard to even imagine a storm this horrible. I also live in East TN but was about 30 miles away from the hard impact of the river areas. We had rain and flooding with several trees down but nothing like the towns that are near the river. God may be showing you these towns so you can cover them. Follow the river and see where it leads you. Thank you.

[@hatteraslighthouse]

I am a former "dog walker" and I noticed that while walking dogs, people are more likely to stop and talk to you compared to if you were walking alone. 🙂 Moon is such a beautiful girl!! It's wonderful that you are documenting the destruction of Helene. Years from now, people can look back and see what devastation hit the small rural areas along the many rivers that wind through the Blue Ridge and Appalachia. Love your videos! I've been a sub for a good while - I've seen you grow with your videos - in editing, music, etc. You do a great job!

[@ryanfindstruth]

Thank you!

[@rachaelrose8829]

I’m so glad someone is finally is covering tn

[@Jenna_79]

Keep doing what guys are do Ryan …… I love that you don’t leave people or other tragedies go overlooked and forgotten ❤ so much love and respect

[@Jenna_79]

😢 so heartbreaking to watch your home floating away 💔

[@MariaMovesMountains]

I’m in Colorado but I follow your stories. It’s heartbreaking to see this but so necessary. Thank you for bringing these things to light. Those of us who cannot see with our own eyes depend on people like you to understand the devastation that has so horribly been ignored.

[@NoBucks777]

Keep telling the story brother! Thanks!

[@kknight8112]

Thank you for your honesty and checking on those in need!

[@harolddenton6031]

On Christmas day I drove into Bumpus cove community. Got to talk with a guy who lives in house up on side of hill. He told me that the river was up around 45 feet whet flood waters came rushing by his place. Water almost got 8nto basement of his house which was easily built about 25 feet up on hill side off Bumpus cove road.

[@ryanfindstruth]

That's crazy. I drove down bumpus cove road a few days after interviewing Teddy and I just couldn't believe what I was seeing.

[@Carolb66]

Just keep doig what your doing Ryan. We are listening. Never forget. ❤🙏🏻😥

[@louannwilmoth43623]

Keep writing Ryan. People will find you and learn so much about the terrible storm that almost wiped away Tennessee North Carolina, and several other cities! Your voice draws your listeners in and you prick our hearts with compassion for all those who lost their life and those who lost everything they own. God bless you as you journey through these damaged cities!

[@ryanfindstruth]

Thank you so much for saying that, it really means a lot.

[@DeborahBradshaw-v6d]

Thank you for your beautiful and heartbreaking video Ryan. If it weren’t for videos like yours, the general public would never know…

[@OGNanny]

I’m 60 been in Erwin my whole life. It will never be the same 😢

[@watchin99]

Thank you!

[@lindasheldon6940]

You and Jenn are two of the most empathetic people, I can feel it [ if that makes sense since I don't know the both of you personally] and God is with you both. I believe He uses tragedies to bring people and communities together and to help us to love one another. You and Jenn are shining examples of all of that. God bless you. Sending love and prayers from Tx.

[@servant-of-cats]

Ryan I found your channel while desperate to find information about my state. I have to tell you, I've watched you and cried and cried, and appreciated your heart and your efforts. This video, I'm just thinking what a great narrator your are, what a great storyteller you are. Your voice is kind, I think a reflection of your inner spirit. I appreciate you and hope you are managing the heartache you encounter. And you may have 20K subscribers, but trust me, that number will grow. Thank you for keeping these folks' story out there for everyone to see. Our states have been forgotten, but for the folks like you that keep hope alive. Thank you.

[@ryanfindstruth]

Thank you - that means so much to me, I really appreciate that!

[@hollier9485]

❤ Be careful around these areas. Lots of toxins & contamination that can be harmful to you, but especially your sweet pup. ❤ from nc

[@deerchoker5267]

The area around Taylor bridge is known as the Lamar community, the first bridge you crossed in the video was Jackson bridge

[@deerchoker5267]

Wasn't trying to be mean or negative, thank you for documenting the devastated areas, I live 3 miles from Taylor Bridge

[@kttnlvr2bynxylee622]

Teddy is a really good person, he has been to my house before, I didnt find out for a couple weeks that he lost his home, i pray that FEMA does help him and his family!! He has worked hard for what he had and he deserves to have it back!!

[@servant-of-cats]

I just don't know how they hold it together. I guess these folks are strong and they hold one another up. Heartbreaking.

[@onearm5827]

I wish all these families all the best from the bottom of my heart for the new year

[@user-wv5tp1qe8i]

Thank you so much

[@juliecampbell860]

If it isn't documented, then we forget. And forgetting prevents us from learning.

[@suebee1436]

I for one watch all your vids, and share. I appreciate you doing this.

[@jeffmercer9655]

I still call the yellow building the KOA building the old Chucky trading Post that's what it was called when I was growing up man this is so sad it makes me want to cry every time I see one of these videos most of my happy places the places I love the most are all gone life will never be the same for me

[@propheticforensics]

God is still hijacking hearts for Helene...I wept and prayed all day yesterday...suddenly, after 3 mos, it feels like it just happened 😢. Know that we are standing, believing, praying...still hoping and waiting for miracles, too. Fresh faith, renewed HOPE to recover the lost. Love your videos, yes #storyteller. ✝️🙏🙄 #NOTforgotten

[@servant-of-cats]

I cry every time, vacillating between horror and shock and tears.

[@propheticforensics]

@servant-of-cats Me, too, alot of grief for missing 🙏 and their loved ones waiting to hear💔😮‍💨. ~side note~ ❤️ your title/name 🫴🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈 @servant-of-cats 👍

"Keep It Hidden" by Snow Bones. It's an artist on Epidemic Sound. I agree, it's a very moving song!

[@bluskytoo]

How many people are still missing ? Does anyone know?

[@8MyOpinionIs8]

In the immediate area of this video there are 2 still missing. Nancy Tucker from Tittle Circle area (above the collapsed bridge) and Steve Cloyd from Charlie Carson Rd (below the collapsed bridge). I am a local, grew up here and learned to drive on AJ Willis and Bumpus Cove Rd. My best friend and her family lost their homes in Embreeville on Bumpus Cove Rd. There truly are no words.

[@JasonMyers-c6z]

You were living in Northern California? I'm from Sonora and live in Angels Camp. You definitely have my support out here.

[@ryanfindstruth]

No, I was a writer for hire and worked remotely, the woman I wrote for,.one of my clients, lived in California. And thank you for your support!

[@marthavineyards7525]

Did you know that that Lithium Company was slowly releasing water from the reservoir that the lithium was under in NW North Carolina? What if, due to the storm conditions, a plug was pulled? Was this a reservoir where lithium was under or previous minerals are??

[@Maria-x2j8j]

Where are the people in there free RV CAMPERS

[@8MyOpinionIs8]

I personally know of more than a few families who have received campers. May I ask why you are asking?
