We Are Ok || Before & After Hurricane Helene

[@colleenallen3382]

Thank you for letting us know that you are safe. I was concerned for your well-being and was hoping you would post at least just a message that you were A-OK. Thank God! Thanks for posting.

[@ingridguzman3858]

I'm glad to hear that you and your neighbors are doing well.

[@sherryharding5792]

It sad to know that you'll were hit by the hurrycane and lots of damage especially the powerlines in and around your state. Yet happy to know that you'll are ok and that you have generators to help. Meg is very possitve and hope you'll will settle everything smoothly after this. God bless🙏💙

After living thru Florence and 16 days without power, yes there is always damage and destruction from a hurricane, but the one thing that still stays with me is how the community came together and not just the locals but many from far off! We had linemen from Houston area and from other states, churches from upstate feed us! Although there is destruction, people come together for each other! Prayers of strength and love.

[@ginnysulya9805]

Our friend who works for NYSEG just left Saturday, please pray for these guys who will be working for you until all the power is restored! We are praying for you! 🙏♥️🙏

I live in Dallas Texas. Just heard on the news that volunteers are coming to western North Carolina to provide meals to all the people that are affected by the hurricane.

[@robinchopra139]

It's just amazing how people far away are so caring they react like that. When we had the fires in the Smoky Mountains we had fire trucks come from as far away as Utah i think it was. Americans are amazing people!!!

For your ‘senior citizen copa’ if you get one that is too hard to slice, you can grate it against a box grater and use almost like bacon bits would be used-smatter on vegetables, sprinkle on salads, etc.

After the storm.. this is when you see true humanity shine. Usually in the shape of farmers, who get on and do what needs to be done ...for others and for themselves. Every time we get a storm in the UK, this is what I witness. I praise God for it.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I'm sure the pigs enjoyed the leaves from the fallen trees. Good news everyone in the family is okay. There are so many people who don't prepare for storms. Being a homesteader means we all prepare for days like this. The prep includes being able to cook food some how, some way, have food, water, and toilet paper+ The plus means other items not necessary to mention. It looks like you have everything in control. If there's something we can do to help, please don't hesitate to let your followers know. Hugs to y'all.

[@sl1020]

Glad you all are ok. We had a bunch of trees come down and couldn’t get out of the neighborhood but friends came to the rescue. No power as yet. Hope y’all have a generator or power. Heard there was a curfew for our county at 7:30

[@BirdYoumans]

Glad you're all OK. I'm sort of a neighbor outside Franklin NC and oddly enough, we did not lose power but we did lose cell service and internet. Just got phone back yesterday and got Internet back this morning so I'm "doing my rounds" lol! Again, so glad you are all OK!! ❤❤

So happy the family is safe. I can empathize with y’all. We just went through Hurricane Francine. We got 7”’s of rain. She was a baby hurricane in comparison. We lost a portion of fence & some tin. City lost lots of white oak trees. We were blessed. It could have been much worse. Hurricane Ida left us without power for 30 + days.

[@robinchopra139]

We seem to be in a donut hole here in our little portion of East Tenn. Little Pigeon river was out of its banks but not more than we havent seen many times before. Three dams in other areas around us were in danger of breach, releasing water as fast as they could. Our dam decided to release as much as possible in case those other dams failed. I never saw any trees down but im sure there were. We still have power amazingly. Praying for western North Carolina. They announced that ALL roads were officially closed. I usually drive there via I-40 and that washed out so it will be quite a while before I can go that way again. Havent heard when the Smoky Mountain National Park will reopen.

[@JW-es5un]

We in Central & Southern Indiana got quite a bit of damage from Helene. We received 4 or more inches of rain in a few hours & then more rain. We had strong winds that took down trees & power lines. Closing several roads & Highways. We did not take the direct hit like Yall did. She was over 370 miles wide when she made landfall. (The largest since Hugo in 1989 to hit the Carolina’s ) The Ohio Valley did get some Flooding & Wind Damage. Helene was a MASSIVE HURRICANE. I’m 62 & she was the largest I can remember hitting us. PRAYERS for all. Ben is correct be prepared. The key is you must prepare for the what if situation. We have practice this our entire 44 years of marriage.. We normally just get some rain from hurricanes but Helene is one for the record books.
