The river will never be the same…(Nolichucky’s biggest recorded flood ever)

[@droutdoors4560]

Heys guys. Never expected any of these videos to blow up like they did. Didnt even know the extent of it until I got to my buddies house again this morning. People are asking how they can help and many people have asked for my own personal Venmo to send money. I don’t want a dollar from anyone. If you have money to send please find a go fund me or something similar that really touches your heart and help those people. I can’t bring it upon myself to only post one when there are so so many out there. We still have everything we went into the flood with, our house was on the hill. Help the people who lost everything. will make another update video soon as I see now there’s a lot of people who want to see it. We got an update and believe we were wrong about the neighbors animals. We were told at first none of them made it by a guy who was helping the guy clean up. It didn’t make sense to us because we never saw not one ever try to get to higher ground away from the water. We were told yesterday though that he was up before the sun and loaded them all up and took them to a buddies house where they are all safe. I am forever sorry for getting that part wrong. I can’t reply to all these comments but we all appreciate the kind words more than you can imagine. I understand that one day it will all be cleaned up and back to “normal” as it can be, but it hit me like a ton of bricks when I actually realized where I was standing in that one video and knowing what it was supposed to look like in my head just tore me apart.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE: Whatever you do READ every letter of those FEMA contracts they are requiring people to sign in order to get the whooping $750.00. A FEMA Inspector turned whistleblower just came out and stated the contracts FEMA is making people sign is actually a LOAN not Aid, If they dont pay that money back in 12 months the government can seize their property. Im a Geologist from PA now living in Arizona, your area has some of the biggest Lithium deposits in the country. This sure smells like a land grab, dont abandon your land or they can file emanant domain resulting in the same. Ive been praying for you all and will continue to do so!!

Hurricane produce around the same amount of energy as a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 10 minutes. This means you would need more energy than that to be able to control it. This amount of power is not something that we have the ability to control in any sense or be able to even produce without catastrophic weapons. People need to stop with the conspiracy theories.

Never ezpected the Nolichucky River to get like this. I live near the dam in Greene county TN, and my wife and I went to look at the flow over that dam around 3pm Friday, when the flow was ~300K gallons/sec, which is normally pretty outrageous. We had no idea that during the night, that the amount of water flow had swelled to ~1.3 MILLION gallons/second, which is nearly twice of Niagara Falls. They said the dam was in imminent risk of failure, but it held. This event is a once in a lifetime event, and I pray for the people affected by it. Thank you for your documenting it.

FYI to people who maybe never dealt with flooding before. You think you can take your boat out in that and be ok as long as you avoid obstructions. Nope. One of the biggest issues is all that fine silt suspended in the water. Sooner or later it will clog up your intakes and your engine will burn out. Then you become just another bit of debris at the mercy of the currents.

So sorry you all are going through this. And yes, in VT with Irene in 2011 rivers and streams totally rerouted some pretty much empty now except if a flood again and new ones carved out. Some of the dams may not need to be replaced due to that and I'm told they should have been removed decades ago. The US has so many dams like this that are dangerous and really serve no purpose anymore.

[@muscleman125]

yeah it's actually kinda crazy when you realize how many dams we built in this country on seemingly every single river that wasn't wide enough to ship cargo up and down. So, so many people live on or near a river that is dammed, and probably don't even realize it because the dams could be hundreds and hundreds of miles north of them, in a totally different state. And if that one damn 250 miles north fails, all that water is gonna flood the entire river valley all the way down to the ocean or lake.

[@vmj255]

[@JW007100]

Recommend that everyone get at least a few roadmaps and keep them available, too many people have become completely dependent on cellular service these days and have lost the ability to even use a roadmap. If you’re not familiar with the area you happen be in when shtf having a road map like Rand Mcinally which covers states could help you, and even a compass to orient the map with magnetic north when it’s dark or overcast, cloudy and you don’t know which way is north, south east or west. A lot of people have never done this but just a little time with a compass and a map will get you knowing which way to go. For all the locals that grew up and know where they are and which way is best , that’s even better. I have actually done this working in Fresno the first time before cellphones and it was so foggy you couldn’t even see the sun, there were no shadows. Take care.

[@swl9270]

Honey our roads and bridges were washed out within a matter of two or less hours

[@albinoyak2755]

Road maps only work if there are roads my guy.... most of our roads got washed away, even the major highways

[@JW007100]

What I should have clarified was that when all the cell sites are down, no matter where you are if you are not familiar with the area a regular map can give you some information on possible ways around or back, better yet is to talk to the locals on what is best. I’m near Ft. Bragg and the outer bands were going over us with tornado warnings but it was not anything like what hit the hills. At this time of year I am always scanning for the latest disturbance in the Caribbean and Atlantic. Hope the best for all those that have been affected and pray for those that are going through this tough time. The government needs to get their heads out of their rears and apply maximum effort, I know help is there and coming but it seems nothing has changed much since Katrina.

It's the unfortunate part of living in areas that flash flood and normally don't see a lot of rain. I lived briefly in Virginia and I saw people building in spots I knew would flood if they saw a good rain in the early 2000s. Here it often floods and we see 30 plus inches of rain in a couple days but since it's all sand and mostly flat there's no flash flood risk. This is heart breaking. We lived through Harvey in the worst rain affected area but this is worse and half as much rain.

If they didn't like a big hole or wave coming at them they'd just fly over it or dive under it. Made me wish I was a duck because I knew just how clumsy and unaclimated I must look to them in a kayak. I witnessed those ducks "running" the river at levels that would make me say no way.

Yeah, I think people forget that stress and lack of proper nutrition in a crisis situation make it really difficult for women to breastfeed. Also, some babies refuse to latch on and it’s not the mom’s fault or for lack of trying-another thing that some people refuse to recognize, particularly men. Luckily, it’s not all or most men/people, otherwise we’d be more screwed than we are. Formula is a great resource, especially in a time like this. Babies are in the most danger, overall, largely due to actions and situations that result from misinformation. There are too many people with minimal knowledge about how the female body works, making judgements and assumptions about women/what they choose to do or not do with their bodies. And it’s bloody weird to try to shame women who are trying to care for their children and literally just survive during an event of vast devastation.

get a hand crank radio am/fm and SW with a solar panel.

If u think water 💧 is powerful, u should study and see how powerful winds is. But God favorite force is fire 🔥 asteroid impact is also more powerful then the entire ocean. Don't forget, earthquakes is the strongest 💪 disaster on earth.

One of my ancestors had land right on the Nolichucky. I wonder how that land has done and who occupies it now. I located it a few years back, and there was a wedding venue across the river at a curve. My heart goes out to the families there. It's hard to watch the river still rising.

I looked at a house once that I loved, really wanted to buy it, but it was beside a river so I made the smart decision to back out and keep looking.

Sorry for your loss.

I am originally from Florida and sure I`m use to hurricanes hitting us there but i just live right next door in Hawkins and my sister lives in Greene county and we never expected this either. This is defiantly a once in a 1,000 year storm.

[@droutdoors4560]

Believe me I knew it was the worst thing I hope I ever seen when I saw it but it had put into more perspective about just how bad it was after reading all the comments and seeing several people from Florida say they have never seen anything this bad before

[@DrBLReid]

Unreal.

Pat Boone sang the hit " Moody River" and it keeps rolling through my mind.

Just goes to show you how easily the canyons can form so quickly in places where they thought at first it took thousands of years. Enough water can literally move mountains and form new. It’s just so very rare to actually witness it happening in real time. It is just so sad to see all these beautiful places,ppls dreams and lives washed away. Praying for all
