Breaks my Hillbilly heart to see this footage, born and raised in the hills of East TN, my folks now live further west from most of the damage so I'm thankful for that. What's amazing to think about is as wonderful as our TVA and Army Corp of Engineers dam system is, this was just more water than could be imagined. I reckon without those dams, K-town and the TN valley would have been in trouble too.

Economically, it set me back and have still not recovered. I am thinking of all those caught up in this... Great work Joker, we need to look after each other, because good people always do...

My brother is from the Newport area. I am about 1.5 hours west…on the plateau. We got lucky. His area did not. He lost a friend who was rescuing families. The area is blessed by people like you! I’m a retired parole officer. Born and bred here. Scots Irish and Cherokee. These people are rough as pine knots. It hurts to see people on social media celebrating “the death of racists” when they’ve never even been to this area. You wouldn’t see racism. You’d see humanity …..struggling, but working without those who condemn them in the midst. May sound silly, but most these people would lose their life for others…or any color or creed. Many did. Boone McCready did. You need to talk to my brother. He has done some videos about the damage. @TennHuhtFarmGuy.

We had a flooding in Germany a couple of years ago. I recall that it was raining like crazy for several days without a break, and suddenly all the water from the surrounding hills flooded our little village in the valley. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard a strange rushing sound from outside. The main street had turned into a river. We got lucky, but my cousin lost everything he inherited from his dad. Including a custom-made Corvette Callaway. (Custom leather seats and wooden interior)

I feel like America was better when everyone had stuff to work on like this. When there's nothing left to do, everyone starts complaining, gets greedy and the fighting begins.

[@tribalismblindsthembutnoty124]

what that is, is the 'ok we defeated our common enemy, lets go back to fighting among ourselves' which is what the dems did when they thought every election from now on would elect a dem. Demographics were on their side, after all. But then HE came along. A dem from the start, he was told that, no, hillary and obama were going to fight it out and he would have to run on the other side. Obama won and hillary found out that he applied to harvard as a kenyan. She did not know that the colleges were racist and would only take foreign blacks for their affirmative action quotas. She started questioning his ability to be president. She was quickly silenced about it by ppl in the know regarding colleges, but HE wouldn't shut up about it. HE got the same information. HE was never told it was a real problem with colleges. Apparently all the dirty little secrets run with the dirty little ppl and not the honest ones.

[@gentlegiants1974]

I'm not a hillbilly from Tennessee but I grew up dirt poor on a farm and still struggle to rub two nickels together. When we had our ice storm 25 years ago this is what rural folks did. It was Canadian winter, and we donated generators, gasoline, diesel, propane heaters, and volunteers would run them up to the checkpoints set up at the edge of the affected areas and the army would deliver them in on tracked vehicles. It was a very well coordinated effort. Even in the township I live in when a tree comes down farmers just go out with a chainsaw and a tractor and deal with it so people can get out. I spent a day with a chainsaw and a team of horses clearing a remote private dirt road of downed trees after a derecho a few years ago as the govt wouldn't help. Prayers for everyone working hard.

[@MF-qf7bs]

The amount of water needed to move a house off its base, in such a wide fairly open area, it's impossible for me to imagine. How long did they experience a torrential downpour? Or did it just rise up of nearby creek tributaries? I imagine if there were any farm animals they got washed away, but where to? Jesus. Thank you for filming. I'm in NJ and it hurts to see so many homes lost and so many lives literally wiped off the map. I'm grateful for every video someone posts showing they're helping or just filming the destruction and showing how much the roads have been cleared to the best of everyone's ability to gain access to everyone who clearly is in need of essentials. It helps with the heartache to know the people are working together and no one is really alone out there. Thank you for that.
