I worked for a PA Dutch about 65 or 70 years ago and , when somebody would say "It's really comin' down," he'd say "You ain't gotta worry less'n it starts goin' up." I've been praying for the people of TN and NC all day. I've been through a couple of floods and know, firsthand, what a mess they leave behind. Be safe, y'all. I'll be praying "til this mess is over.

And here in Oklahoma we are still in drought conditions and have been for several months. We got about an inch of rain Sept 22nd, but too little too late as the saying goes. Some cattlemen have been feeding hay since July hoping for early Fall rain to have possibly a late cutting of hay. So praying for you in that direction for too much rain, and for us in this direction for not nearly enough.

We are and will be praying for all those who have been impacted by this storm. The impact of this horrible storm will be felt for many years to come. It will soon fade from the news cycle but not from the lives of those who live it on a daily basis so our prayers need to continue. Blessings all.

So many small towns in NC that are just washed away, so many missing and reports of so many dead, and many washed away. Sunday night still rescuing by helicopter as communities are trapped with no water, electric or cell. The geography and rivers have been reshaped in many places. My heart is broken for my state here in NC, and all other locations hit hard too. Thus hurricane is one for the record books. And even though my side if the state was spared, sadly the town close to me was hit by a tornado and my parents friend lost her restaurant, and other buildings damaged with 15 people hurt. Its just crazy as i see and hear more and more affected. We have some people trapped out west, but safe. Praying so hard for everyone

In my opinion the best way to help is to get in touch with a local church. These pastors have a huge network and can direct funds or items to where they can best be used. We got 10.75 inches here between Pigeon Forge and Maryville Tn with no damage but 25 miles away were totally devastated. We'll be praying for everyone involved.

God is certainly not listening to prayers for those unfortunate Palestinian men women & children being slaughtered by American bombs & bullets,but then maybe some people believe the israeli lie that they are the victim?

Thanks for your thoughts. My brothers, mom, and extended family live in Hendersonville just south of Asheville. My brother said it was bad. No electricity for 10 to 20 days but thankfully they have generators. A local tourist attraction, Chimney Rock (near lake Lure) was pretty much wiped off the map. Going to take weeks to get back to normal and months/years to rebuild. Luckily all are well for now. l am 62 and have never seen or heard of anything like that in my life.

Good Friday morning from Western NC. I’ve just found your site and it’s so comforting to know so many are praying for us. We live in the Marion area and we have had some severe flooding from the Catawba River drainage basin. Our towns of Old Fort, Marion, and Morganton have endured the flooding and are in the clean up phase. Power continues to come back and we can only admire the job that Rutherford EMC has done despite the thousand of trees down on our roads here in McDowell county. God bless all of you and continue to pray for those who have missing loved ones and deaths in their family. Thanks again,

Thank you Meredith for trying to get the word out to as many people as possible about the destruction in NC.I live in Rutherford county NC and I know you have been here before. Here in Forest City it is devastation everywhere you look and there is no fuel,food or electricity for so many people but it is minor compared to on up the road.There is flooding everywhere and trees down all over. My daughter was told she could be without power for two weeks, but we are in pretty good shape compared to further west.I don't know if you have ever been to Lake Lure or Chimney Rock but they are a total disaster.The little town of Chimney Rock is gone and there are so many people missing.Please remember us in your prayers and I will be praying your beans aren't a total loss.Good luck.

Just a couple minutes in but wanted to say I’ve seen your posts on various socials when I stop by the gas station to soak up some cell coverage. I’m in upstate SC, just below the NC line and western NC. We got our power back pretty quick, and it took about 1 and a half weeks before all our stop lights got power back and gas stations came back up. We’re still out of internet 16 days and counting and our house has no cell service. Biggest thing here is trees down literally everywhere. Still count ourselves very fortunate compared to just up the road. Thank you for the heart I can tell you’ve poured into the situation even though I’m 2 weeks behind on the content.
