You are such a lovely family ❤ I'm praying for you xxx

[@TexasbyStorm]

I'm so glad you have a great community helping each other out. You are so blessed to have come thru the storm pretty much unscathed, but also so blessed that you have amazing kinships with your community and you all clearly care very much for each other. Seeing the blessings, even via a video is a blessing to me.

We’re hearing it’ll be 6 weeks or more for power back in western NC.. got buddies that work for duke power that day over 200 substations are completely gone and it could be 2 months or longer before they’re put back and running so we’ll see

[@conniemckenzie7801]

So glad you'll are safe.

[@jessicatounkara8753]

Make sure you keep your gas tanks full and maybe buy a generator for future. Extra food and water on hand too. I definitely dont have all these things either.

[@lubakhazanovich32]

I was worried about you guys I’m glad that you guys are doing ok

[@karlaruter3221]

Up until July my honey and I lived on a sailboat. His cancer ended up taking his life. I guess it was God's plan 😢. I miss him with all my heart. Be thankful that you made it through the hurricane with your family. I just wish we had been on our boat to hold each other as we had done a few times in the past. Blessings and love each other like you have never loved each other before. To everyone reading this.please take a moment to hug and tell each other how you feel. Tomorrow may not come on earth.

We freeze gallon water bottles 3/4 full of water and put in freezer ahead and don't open door things stay frozen

[@jessicatounkara8753]

The animals are super squeezed in that tiny shelter im sure it is normally not an issue.

[@pattyhill4682]

They definitely need a bigger shelter for them.

The water in the creek was going up and down because of the amount of rain they were getting higher up in the mountains! Those little creeks are everywhere in the mountains and hollers and they run off into the valleys and into river's and reservoirs/damns. So if it is raining hard higher up that is why the creeks rise!! Please watch those trees in the creek that the water rooted up! They are no longer stable at all and eventually they will fall just watch the kiddos! Also Watch above anywhere there are tree's for limbs that might be broken off! They call them "Widow Maker's" in the logging industry and they are extremely dangerous! Danielle even though the water might not seem "swift/running fast" that silt is unstable and it can sweep you away in a hurry! Especially if like I mentioned it's raining higher up and all at once that water comes rushing "flash floods"... The most important thing is the tree's they can be so dangerous after a storm! My husband watched his older sister get smashed by a tree on the bank by a creek just a little bit bigger than yours. She passed away right there in their dad's arms and they were at the creek just like you guys just checking to see the damage! Please don't take anything I said as mean and I'm not trying to tell you what to do but you all are still fairly new to the "country life"... I grew up in the mountains of Appalachia but I'm in West Virginia. I'm glad you didn't have any major damage and just lost power for a few days but that's a good thing sometimes because we get to be all together as a family and unplug from all the electronics!! I have seen images of Western North Carolina and I remember how devastating a major flood/storm can be we had two 1 in 1983 and 1996. I was 2 in 1983 but I remember the rain and lightening and being carried on my uncle's shoulders through waist deep water to higher ground... It's devastating but they will recover and rebuild it will take time but those people have been in these mountains for generations and even this isn't going to stop them from coming back!!

[@jessicatounkara8753]

That is still so much water in the creek. The kids won't be able to play there any time soon.

[@scoopdecoop]

Looks like you’re gonna have a lovely swimming hole

[@teribennett7687]

Your animals need a decent barn, feel bad for them crammed in that tiny shelter

[@RobinRockefeller]

I plug my phone into my car and charge it that way. Most cars have a place for the charging cable to go into. Obviously, you need the car running but if you need your phone that bad....

[@lubakhazanovich32]

I wish that you could come here to mn we are having the opposite problem we are in a dry spell it hasn’t rained since aug and it doesn’t look like it will rain anytime soon according to the forecast on my phone

[@tiffanymengor217]

They have propane generators.

[@dawny3995]

cant you get a better structure to protect your animals

[@rapunzel39]

You need better shelter for your livestock.

[@drewfamily9163]

Those cows are very skinny
