Hammered by Helene (The Hurricane Hit our Homestead) | VLOG

[@sarahmannluker7528]

He probably knows this, but I don't want to take a chance. If Miah cuts those trees beware that the trunk often flips back into place after the main weight of the tree is cut off, so make sure no one is standing in that space.

[@ima40schic]

I was thinking the same thing! I saw it happen once.

[@WelcometomyCapeCodlife]

Thank you for updating us on how you weathered the storm. Love and prayers!

[@heatherconrad5308]

Yes..I lost my uncle that way. Be Safe!!

[@asd74564]

My friend lost his dad this way. I concur- be careful!!

[@MissChievousRN]

Yes! I can't remember what it's called but my DH was teaching me how to help cut wood and there are weird physics involved that's not intuitive. Please be careful!

[@whisperjoy1128]

The fact that WE can hear the wind through your camera is something I’ve never experienced. Praying for you all, truly ❤ from Ohio

[@annmarienoone9879]

Exactly why I will never give up my gas stove or wood burner.

[@thedirtygardener]

Hurricanes are scary because they're like an hours-long tornado with the wind and rain and howling. And being in a mobile home is even scarier because you're not anchored. Glad you guys are safe. That's all that matters. Praying for everyone impacted.

[@tv-21]

Do yall hide in the basement

[@thedirtygardener]

@@tv-21 I'm on the Texas Gulf Coast. No basements here because we're just above sea level. If we have an active tornado warning, we wait in the closet under the stairs.

[@SpencerLane-v1k]

I live in Rutherford Co NC. We’ve got 4 100 ft trees down in our yard. It felt like 6 hours but was probably 2.5-3. Running back and forth across the house trying to look for incoming trees. It’s all very surreal as I’m 29 and never experienced this living here. Always wanted to be in a hurricane though just didn’t expect to come to my doorstep.

[@victoriaturnershoemaker3723]

Thank you for letting us know you (and the farm) are ok

[@tatiananaugolnykh]

During Sandy in NY, i had a lady approach me on a street saying she has no food left and can't cook with anything. I've asked if her stove is a gas stove - it turns out it is, and she just didn't know that she could cook and boil water, she was so happy 😊 In the whole neighborhood, only 1 store had a generator and offered free charging of cell phones - the store owner has helped so many of us at the time - people started to come onto the streets asking each other if they are Ok. A street of cars was at a stand still - all out of gas, so the roads were shut, but the beach had foragers already. When people help each other it is very valuable ! I was alone with a child at the time and was very scared, but the neighbors made me feel safer ! But to this day I always keep a hand saw in my car.

[@cmaur811]

My son lived in long beach in a basement apt . Water was above his front door.

[@vickijohnson9367]

A nice little solar cell phone charger. I have enough woods to cook outside for years. But best of all, we have a rural co-op electric company that we, THE PEOPLE OWN! We 💗 love our Rural Electric Co-Op! No Wall Street BS here!🤗

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

Just because you have a gas stove does not mean you can use it during a major storm or power outage. Gas stoves nowadays are electric starts and if powers out you can’t light the stove

[@tatiananaugolnykh]

​​@jadeswrapsandbraids Mine was working with a match - i did mention to the lady what I did know myself, she did not try to light her stove with a match. It was over 10 years ago, and a lot has changed since then, though. But she had hope and ran home to at least try - I am sure her husband has helped.😊 It was the time when neighbors were helping each other !

[@ksenismiles777]

​​@@jadeswrapsandbraidsGas stoves can still be lit with a match/ lighter. I have a modern GE gas stove, and we have power out at least once every winter dew to the snow storms. We are able to cook on that stove no problem.

We’re in Hendersonville, NC. My garden of 30 yrs was washed out about 6’ deep. No power for 13 days, but we have a generator. Tree of 100’ hit my chicken run. Both children’s homes flooded, but everyone is alive. We’re 3 weeks since Helene hit and we have zero response from FEMA. Prayers for everyone. Be careful of post hurricane skin and respiratory symptoms. Our skin is peeling off feet where we had to walk through 18” deep mud to get to animals. God bless you all.

All of your plants are going triple in size by next week. All of that rain they received. When there's no flooding gardens thrive. Happy ya'll are safe

Those trees you love...maybe they can live on through something beautiful Miah builds with them. 💔 I cant tell you how glad I was to see this video post.

Storms/ Tornados in Arkansas is why we have a full roof with front and back porches over our double wide trailer.

Girlfriend, you had some real wind to pull oaks up out of the ground! Ain't God good!! To think of what could have been and see what it is, is proof of God keeping his hand of protection upon his children. We are so blessed! Have been trying to check in with all my favorite channels(internet friends) up the east coast to see how everybody was doing. Very happy you are all safe and well! ❤

You guys handled your first hurricane well! I know it can be scary, but I'm glad you guys didn't get too much damage. My husband and I have grown up in the FL panhandle, but are planning on moving closer to some family near Lake Murray. I know it can be scary, but I'm proud of you guys. You handled it well! After growing up with hurricanes, I think I'll always have my prepper stash. It might me helpful for you in the future to look up a few hurricane checklists and it'll give you an idea of what you might need to make your life a little easier when dealing with extreme weather.

[@lindaanndeisch7737]

Only slept an hour last night, prayed for you and your homestead. Marietta, GA just a ton of rain, and light breeze, no tree limbs down, no loss of power, it was over around 8:30 this morning. So many people affected, I felt very edgy about this storm from the beginning.

A large can of Crisco can burn for 72 *80 hrs. Use candle taper for wick.adjust length of candle by cutting off bottom (being careful not to pull out wick) Shove taper down to bottom of can. What you want is the tip to be sitting close to top….light wick w lighter! This is easiest way to create a wick! LOL! For last 7 yrs have same unused Crisco Can can for emergencies!

[@sarahmannluker7528]

Been wondering how y'all are. I know your trepidation. Living on the Gulf coast of Texas, we've been hit SO many times and lost a few houses, and sat through the horrific wind and flooding, but the lesson is, it's just the loss of material things. The blessing is when you and your family, animals included, make it safely through. That has to be your focus. Praying for you as y'all recover from this ❤ to you all.

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

Hurricane Alicia roared in on my Mom’s 50th birthday. 2 trees through the house; windows blown out; that’s a night I’ll never forget!

Get you an Anker generator! Very affordable and many sizes. Ours also has added solar panel. Stays charged forever. We love ours and able to power a lot of different appliances. Gives us plenty time to get our gas generator going.

[@Jaynes-Path]

We have used our generator for post hurricane power several times. We would plug in the freezer and refrigerator for long enough to stay cold until the next charging time, as long as nobody opened the door. Things like the milk, condiments, cheese etc that I'd need for the next meal I'd open the door and it went into a cooler with other frequent items and drinks, then bring it back to temp by using the generator. We had to do this for 10 days with the last hurricane and 2 weeks with the one before that. I'd make a new pot of coffee every time it was running and keep it warm in a thermos. Not having everything in the freezers be a total loss saved us so much money!

[@ERAforALL]

@@Jaynes-PathI kept frozen jugs of water in my freezer. During power outages, I put one in the fridge. It isn’t as effective for long term outages, but we did save our perishables during a 24-hour outage. This also helps keep additional potable water on hand.

[@Jaynes-Path]

@@ERAforALL I've done that too. It 7ses less electricity keeping a freezer full than when it has open spaces. If I need the room I'll move one or two out and replace them as soon as room becomes available.

Having been through 5 hurricanes when I lived in Destin FL, I speak from experience when I say to invest in a whole house generator on a concrete pad.

Praise God you did not have major damage! Pick up some camp stoves that use the little butane canisters and some instant coffee. Today we bless you and your Jess and give thanks.
