[@lorihamlin3604]

Where do you think the “investigators” will be 2 months from now? They’ll be on to the next high drama. Locals and volunteers need the help from government. It’s a joint effort and having gone through the devastation of a major hurricane I can tell you the assistance government provided in the long haul was not anything locals and volunteers could have handled long term. Once the drama dies down most out of state volunteer assistance disappears as people have to get back to their lives. I know these storm chasers make a living filming the aftermath but offer little in the way of assistance and often report rumors that are unhelpful and only make the situation worse.

JLR thanks for your coverage !!

[@fyxitman]

Hey JLR, can you investigate the damns that were opened up river perhaps causing the flooding? Why’s no one talking about the dams that were opened during this event?

[@Tennessee_whiskey]

Dams only hold so much pressure and it has to be released. If they wouldn’t have opened up the damn where I live, it would have been so much worse.

[@fyxitman]

@@Tennessee_whiskey I know what their reasoning for opening the dams were but did they let people know downstream? Did they give them time to get out?

[@Kelly-y8k]

@@fyxitman Water breached the dam on the chucky river. They released a bunch of water from other dams, and not I don't think they had alerted widespread before it happended.

[@Tennessee_whiskey]

@@fyxitman when you have water rising as fast as it was, you don’t have time to do much of anything. Flash flood warnings were issued but nobody expected it to raise the water so quickly or the amount of rain fall that came in such a short amount of time like it did. It happened so quick. My brother in law couldn’t leave. He got a phone call and looked outside with just a little bit of water coming. He made his wife and my niece get in the car and leave immediately. By the time he walked back into his bedroom to grab his truck keys to leave and came back out, it was too late. He had no choice but to ride it out. It came that quick.

Flash flooding causes extreme damage 😢

Satan runs this Earth. Remember Jesus said He is from above (heaven) not of this Earth. Take a good look around, don't you see most all houses & Buildings have a pyramid built in them. Look at the roofs. Satan's markings are all over this world. Do you know the jingle "We Are Farmers" They been farming the Lord's people since the beginning of Gen 1. That's why its MOST IMPORTANT to be converted in Christ and follow Christ so Satan can't have our SOUL when we die. Most ALL churches FAILED the people of getting them the TRUTH. God Bless

Just think.. no Death toll updates.. the only thing in the news is "a guy" loses it at a "fema" worker and gets arrested. This is a crime scene if u ask me.

[@karenvolk]

so suspicious, will we ever get the truth?

[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

@@karenvolkThey don’t want the amount of destruction, and loss to be visible to the American public. There is a reason why we don’t have an estimated death toll presented to America nation wide, they know it will make them look way worse. You would have millions more of Americans just furious, they can’t win the election, they know it.

[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

People ought to just file exemption on their taxes, and when it comes time to pay, boycott taxes nationwide. Take the money away from them.

[@jeremytine]

First, death toll requires verificiation, if someone is buried under mud and not found, then it is kinda hard to report them as dead. Second, the death toll doesn't matter. Knowing won't help survivors, but nutbags threatening aid workers will hurt survivors.

[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

@@jeremytine Personally I believe that’s just another excuse for FEMA’s failure. They claimed they sent 1000 people, but there is no evidence to support that claim. People have been posting videos for 3 weeks of the ravished areas, only one person was able to even find a FEMA van, with a few FEMA employees there, and a very small tent for people to apply for relief aid. That is not a proper response to something of this scale and devastation. A lot of those people can not even get to such a location. One person said they had another small set up just off the highway. That’s not of much help to people who can’t even get out of a holler, much less a highway miles away. 🤦🏻‍♂️ They also claimed they deployed 500 soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division, they did deploy a small group, but it’s more like 25-50 troops, no where near 500. They want to appear involved, but they aren’t doing what they have the capacity to. They falsify their claims there is no evidence of 500 troops from 101st Airborne Division, and 500 from the 82nd. If you have any Links or footage that suggests otherwise I want to see it. There is no sensible evidence to support that there is 1000 service members helping with relief aid.

[@me-myself4486]

Thank you. It really hits home to see all of this. Grew up in the mountains of VA and we saw many floods, but not to this extent. I hope by rebuilding things they will put in place precautions so it will not be this bad should it ever happen again. I just worry about the lithium from the run off. How far down stream did it go? And is there any danger to other places of contamination from it? Never say never as it could happen to any of us. 🙏

[@lauracooper1310]

There is an article that talks about the Old Country Store Headwaters. 2011 it was reopened by Tony and Nikki Worsnop. Do they still own it? Do they need help getting it fixed up? Do they have a rebuild fund on go fund me? Or has the area been declared unfit for rebuild. Hearing the muck is highly contaminated in some parts even with Nuclear Radioactive debris.

I suspect its you two, and it made my heart so hopeful it was. A friend who lives there, Swannanoa, is posting updates and has a center set up at Silverados. He said when he went to Chimney Rock today people were saying “youtubers” were the only people they’ve seen in 23 days since Helene hit them, and the terror they are surviving through.♥️ If it wasn’t you two, I am still happy someone in the YT community checked on them.

So much devastation to all the communities that were up and down the riverside.

[@MountainMama94]

Feb 2020 we had a rain event that melted alot of snow above us on our mountain pass. All that water came down and flooded our river. It did not leave the channel but it did over saturate our ground until the earth collapsed and went down stream. We lost about a 1/2 an acre. Some 200 year old pine trees one of which was right next to our house. It took the dirt out from a 1/3 of our home. It ripped the front deck off the house. We were in the middle of a remodel so all our appliances were out on said deck. The county condemned our home as it was literally hanging over the rivers edge. Covid hit a month later. Insurance has done nothing to help us. It's been 4 1/2 years and we still aren't put back to where we started. I pray for all these folks. This shit is devastating and I have had PTSD ever since. The river rises and so does my anxiety. ❤

[@Faithseason]

People don’t understand how bad it was and IS here in North Carolina. It’s worse than Katrina was. There are people who are inaccessible to rescue and they will probably pass away from starvation
