TOWN DESTROYED!! Swannanoa North Carolina. Hurricane Helene.

[@Beth_Dutton1106]

I love this beautiful mountain town. I live 30 minutes from here in Lake Lure. FEMA hasn’t done anything to help us & we will never forget it

[@honeyelder]

I've been volunteering in Swannanoa. Sorry I missed you! The Appalachian people are resilient. This is going to be very difficult to overcome. 💔

[@robertcollins3420]

So so sad to see this,we would never have seen this,if not for you guys. I’m from Canada,sorry for the people who lost everything. We need prayers from everyone.

[@kaylapeterson1211]

THANK YOU for going to Swannanoa! I know Asheville got hit hard and there was tremendous loss but I feel like the smaller areas are slowly being forgotten about because they aren't as, "touristy".

[@davidmellet261]

That entire event wasnt normal , what a mess

[@designstudio8013]

it is normal but occurs every 70 years.

[@teewee8774]

Our government made this mess and can’t even help to clean up

[@RLFinTX]

@@teewee8774 It’s absolutely sickening! Their newest lie is that they have put everyone displaced, into hotel room and it’s an absolute lie! There are real volunteers down in the trenches who have KZbin channels that are posting the real happenings to be able to show the nation the truth of the matter.

[@annettes965]

When I watched this all I could think of was the ad many years ago of an Indian on a horse looking over nature, with a tear running down his face- no words were needed.. 😢

[@rosasp.2936]

I also remember a commercial on TV in Huntington WV of an Indian and garbage was thrown on ground and the Indian had a tear running down his face. 🙏

[@annettes965]

​@rosasp.2936 yes that is what the ad was about, " littering " and after the fact there was much less littering and organized groups to pick up highways ect.... Google it, as it's interesting.....

[@annettes965]

Known to many as the “Crying Indian,” Oscar “Iron Eyes” Cody had a successful career portraying Native Americans in more than 200 films and countless television shows over his 64-year career, culminating in one of the most famous and successful ad campaigns of all time in which he was depicted as a Native American shedding a tear over the rampant littering problem in America. Ironically, however, Cody was actually the son of two Italian immigrants to the United States.

[@peanuts1173]

I'm so glad you're there. It's been all over KZbin with random posts by many people needing help and others willing to help. They are a strong community all of them are that got damaged and destroyed. They are helping each other since FEMA and the insurance companies are no help at all. Show us more yes! I need to know the best safest charities to donate to. I am afraid of scammers and the places with overhead where there is only a small % being given to the victims.

[@eh298]

You'll listen to people like JLR. when I've been in real things. that's funny.

[@hatteraslighthouse]

I pray the folks in the pop-up campers have heat - Prayers for all in Appalachia. See lots of vehicles destroyed. It would be nice if folks could donate a vehicle to those who lost theirs in the floods. Shelter is something else - these folks need warm places to live - it's cold now in the mountains. If folks have unused campers for the winter, consider lending one to someone who is sleeping in a tent - We are NC Strong!!

[@BarbSnyder-n3j]

The debris setting in front of homes is only part of their hardship. They need the inside of the home dried out then replace everything besides furniture and belongings. Business needs to be rebuilt not only for the owner but for jobs and people to shop. Government wake up! They can’t do it with a few dollars sent their way if they qualify or your low cost loans that they need to repay.

[@zannaswann5836]

Some of that "debris" is actually homes and property that rushed down the mountains in landslides as well as floated down. Similar to those cars, they weren't all parked like a junkyard. The spray paint isn't graffiti - it's checking off homes with no occupants alive or otherwise. I read water came rushing in an instant down the mountains at a force 3x or 5x greater than Niagra Falls ripping, carrying and dumping anything in its path. With landslides, it became mud like wet cement carrying things, people and pets.

[@mountaingirl8230]

I think all of these areas you are visiting today are in Buncombe County. This is where it's listed that 42 people died in this county. I would love to believe this.

[@zannaswann5836]

My understanding (NC resident with family throughout that region), is the numbers are those properly identified and families contacted. Over the few days of the brunt of this hurricane, folks weren't necessarily carrying their identification cards, if they were, it likely washed away in deterioration. Then, folks were washed away from homes - some found a distance - even miles away or under debris or buried multiple feet deep in the wet cement-like mud. Some weren't residents. But campers or tourists as well. Going about life. These communities and their people need compassion, empathy support and supplies. Heartbreaking.

[@mountaingirl8230]

@@zannaswann5836 I've been screaming we should have three sets of numbers. Number of dead, number of unidentified, number of missing. Even with those sets of numbers we will still miss people. Every life deserves to be accounted for. Much love to the folks in Tennessee, North Carolina & Virginia.
