Phone footage of Helene and aftermath! Green Mountain NC

[@cindydjesus-wr9ty]

Thank you for sharing -the news does not really show what NC has/is going through😥so sad -terrible destruction

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@cindydjesus-wr9ty yea what footage of nc I’ve seen has been of Asheville, and Swannanoa, but nothing much of our area. Thank you for watching!

[@ChuckSchickx]

There's a lot of news coverage.

[@kaycoats8344]

The mainstream media is all but ignoring the devastation from 5 state wide storm disaster. Actualy a 6 state, Virginia got some of it too. From Virginia all states to Florida. That's a huge Disaster Area. How can the Democrat Administration send all those billions of dollars to Ukraine and such pitiful little to the United States Disaster? That has got to be against the law.

[@kellysmith4625]

There is a lot of BS news coverage but I live here and SEE this w my own eyes & what Charlotte & the natl outlets cover is either inadequate, inaccurate, or just plain deceptive. Sorry to disagree, Chuck, but what you see in mainstream is NOT reality for us here in NC. Thank you for this video!! We need all the internet exposure we can get. God bless us all.

I can say this is so muchbigger than people can imagine. The areas hit are wide spread...a huge amount of rural places. We are seeing progress, it is incredible to see how much work has been done in just 2 weeks. Dont get me wrong....theres tremendous amounts that still have to be done. Thank heaven for all the real people that have came in and helped....certainly all the neighbors helping each other as well.. we have been in overdrive... people are walking around in shock. It is really sinking in just how much suffering has been endured.

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@aceoffice776 I think it’ll be months before people realize how big this storm was. I’m so thankful for everyone who took time away from their lives and families to help a kinda “ forgotten” part of the country. Even people who lived through this are in a way numb and still in survival mode, it’s just slowly sinking in. It’ll be a long time for people to get through this for sure.

[@cynthiahoward9495]

Before and after are the best people just don't understand how bad it was thanks for sharing GODS with you bro

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@cynthiahoward9495 videos don’t do it justice, words can’t explain it, you just have to experience it. Thank you for watching!

[@Mulberrysmile]

Im not being mean, I swear. I just want to point out that what you wrote may not be what you intended. You typed: GODS with you What you typed is a plural form that means multiple gods. If you intended to mean a singular god, you must either type “GOD is with you”, or “GOD’S with you”. Because ‘god apostrophe s’ is the contraction of ‘god is’. I know that every Christian I ever knew was adamant about the singular god, so I thought that it might matter to you that what you type regarding your deity is what the reader understands you to have meant. May you receive the love you share ❤️

[@gottasay4766]

Why didn’t your god prevent this?

[@gottasay4766]

Not being mean but I wonder why god fearing folk don’t expect more from their gods.

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@gottasay4766 I understand what you mean it’s easy to look at it that way, but God didn’t promise me another day. He give me life and many things that I don’t deserve. If I had died during the flood, I can honestly say I lived a wonderful life, it would be hard on my family for sure, but we are blessed to still have a home and still have all of our family so I can’t complain. God never promised an easy life for Christians or anyone, we all have hardships. I’m not being hateful, that’s just how I look at it ❤️

Amazingly, POWERFUL.....SPEECHLESS......😮

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@sunnyskye213 it has been unbelievable, even watching it in person, it’s hard to believe it happened.

[@Carolb66]

Thank you for sharing, this disaster needs to be shared & the story told, never forget. Why is it barely on the news? Not mentioned at all here in the UK I only know through watching YT. I'm so sorry, 😢❤🙏🏻

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@Carolb66 we returned to work today, and I’ve heard multiple people say this was a 500 year flood. It’s beat every flood record for our area, since they started recording. The only record it hasn’t beat is the number of dead, only because they are still doing recovery and trying to ID, from what I’ve heard. People at the federal level haven’t made a big deal out of it, we are more or less a “ forgotten area”. I’m not going to get into the political part of it, but it never got the media attention that it should’ve, in my opinion. Thank you for your support, locals, and people from all over the world have shown overwhelming support for our region! That’s what makes a difference is people that care, and show sympathy. That gives so many people here a fight in their heart and a will to live! Please share this to any and everyone you can, and thank you for your support! ❤️

[@Carolb66]

@@GreenMtnTractor ah thank you for your reply! Glad you are back at work it will bring a bit more normality to your life. You won't be forgotten by us we will continue to show our support through donating. You all take care & I hope after the 5th of November your state will get all the support it deserves if you know what I mean! Take care. ❤️🤗🙏

@@Carolb66 we hope so! The whole country will be better too! Thank you! ❤️

[@Deb-y2z]

My hearts been with you folks. I know those roads, the area. I lived on Whitson branch 12 years many moons ago. I’m so sorry to see the level of devastation all around us. I live near the Swannanoa now and it’s unbelievable the carnage those rain drops caused throughout our beloved mountains. ❤💔

[@GreenMtnTractor]

I’m sorry, I hope y’all are okay! We will all get through this! We are western nc, and we are all in it together! It’s still hard to process it even though I seen a lot of it happen, I don’t know how that makes sense, but that’s how I cope with it I guess is just blocking it out I don’t know. It’ll take our region a long to to get back where we were, but western North Carolinians are a different kind of people, we will get through it together! ❤️

[@Deb-y2z]

@@GreenMtnTractor yes we will! ❤️

Keep up with your area storm damage, I have some family in green mountain. Helps to see the progress on the clean up. I wish you and your family the very best. It has been very hard seeing those beautiful mountains tore to pieces. Your friend from Erwin TN. Lee

[@GreenMtnTractor]

[@arlenemanis8973]

My dad is from the pigeon roost area on byrd creek road. Been trying to contact some of his cousins there but cant get ahold of anyone. Have you heard any news from that area . Its hard seeing this but thankful for you giving us a glimpse of home.

[@GreenMtnTractor]

@@arlenemanis8973 I’ve heard pigeon roost and everything down 19w got hit pretty hard, but signal is so limited, it works at times and then goes out. A lot of people are just cut off from getting out, they’ve been flying in supplies and taking horses into areas that got cut off. Hopefully everyone is okay!

[@arlenemanis8973]

I pray everyone is okay. I will pass the news to my dad, sister, and brother. We will keep trying. Thank you.
