We're Okay But Many Nearby Are Not (Hurricane Helene Update)

[@selfsufficientnic7112]

I'm pleased to hear you're safe in your place. When the mainstream reporting plays it down beforehand you can bet they need a big story for cover later.

[@juneramirez8580]

Happy you are good. We worry! Thank you for informing us on the situation! Praying for the safety of all the people involved!

[@peppernc429]

Happy you all are healthy. God bless. Thank you for the update. I have been worried about all of you in East TN and western NC Good to hear the Katie and Nate are good! 🙏💗🇺🇸🙏

[@donnamaeanderson3448]

Thank you for letting us know you and your family are all ok.

[@joanwilliams346]

Thank you for letting us know how you are. My area in Florida were right on the edge of the storm, too. So grateful. It is a time of tension waiting as it passes by.

[@normp.3657]

Sean, we live in washington county just off the nolichuckey river. We are lifelong floridians and have weathered every south florida hurricane over the last 50 years. This flood is like nothing i have ever seen. Every bridge is gone, every home that has always been safe from flooding is gone. There is no water, as all the water plants are destroyed, there is no electricity, but if you get 1/2 mile from the river, there is no trace of the flood. This flood was 8 ft higher than the previous record. It rose 30 ft in 12 hours. We were able to get across the 1 remaining bridge to make it into town for supplies. This storm was much more than expected and the federal government is no where to be found. Any help is from locals helping their neighbors. Mountain folk are really special!

[@jamesbrown8718]

FEMA is supposed to already have boots on the ground they abundance that on Saturday on the news. I have saw many agencies already out there in the areas. Samaritan purse, Red Cross and others are there. I been praying for the area I am from East Tennessee we got allot of wind and rain but nothing compared to what you all received there. We lost power for just a couple hours

[@TheModernYeoman]

SO glad to hear that you guys are alright. Dad and I drove over the Nolichucky yesterday -- the banks and surrounding area was still completely covered in mud.

[@OurIntrovertedHomestead]

I thank you for letting us know that your family is alright... God bless!

[@suziegibson4427]

Glad you and yours are safe. Thanks for the update

[@tinahall2512]

New to your channel. I live in Gray, Tn… which is part of Johnson City. It’s heartbreaking seeing the devastation all around us. Praying for all of our neighbors… so glad to have found your channel and I’m glad you’re ok.

[@TheModernYeoman]

Thank you, Tina! We are also praying for our neighbors and helping out where we can!

[@debrawilliams5792]

Thanks for update. Glad y’all are ok. Glad to hear about Nate and Katie, Jim and Kathy. Prayers to all affected by this storm.

[@dwighthires3163]

I am happy to hear of your situation. Hopefully you will learn what you can do for others of your loved ones.

[@Gardenofglory-l6v]

Thanks for letting us no you’re alright and safe ❤

[@DeePosaul]

We know the feeling - we had no damage, we were with out power for 8.5 days. Several weeks ago I gave donations to two charities who are responding to the Hur Helene disaster - that would be a good way to help. AND CONTINUE TO PRAY for those who were severely affected.

[@TheModernYeoman]

🙏

[@alirumba1]

Thank you for updating us, I've been so worried about all my KZbin families in that area. I'm in Memphis we only got rain, 4" on Friday. Thank you for letting us know about Nat & Katie, and Two Turtles. Justin and Rebecca got hit hard but are ok. I've been watching all the devastation from N.C. & TN. and have been so worried about you all. So thankful to hear from you, Thank you again. Stay safe. ❤

[@ninabooker2904]

TY @alirumba1 for the updated on other KZbin families. I’ve been worried about them also. I figured that Justin & Rebecca were affected because they are so close to Asheville and that they are in a valley. PRAYING for all those harmed. ❤

[@trinapellegrino621]

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. Happy to know your family is safe 💞🕊💞🕊💞🕊

[@donnaraxter5094]

Thanks for letting us know about our KZbin family! All good to hear. Just heard from friends in Asheville, they are ok too. Thank God. Love all of you!!!

[@candacewilliams6869]

Such a difficult time for so many! Praying!

[@carlapierle8623]

I'm so thankful you and your family are all okay and thank you for the update on others. I've been praying for those devasted by this storm. It's been heartbreaking to hear of the damage and loss of life. It seems like storms, hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes are getting worse and worse. Where have I heard that before?

[@LouY778]

Good to hear you are safe.

[@suzanneo1124]

It’s impossible to understand the magnitude of this storm. I’m in the NC piedmont region, we’re all stunned and looking to help because we know how lucky we are. Hang in there.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

So happy to have this update, Sean. Glad your whole family is in good shape regarding their homes and land. Time to go together and get a good sized wood chipper....you will all have enough for your needs. You may want to take a look at the one Ben Hollar in NC. purchased for his property. It is doing the job very well. Thanks for sharing and have a Blessed day.

[@TheModernYeoman]

Thank you so much, Margaret!

Sean, So grateful you would take the time to let us all know how you are doing after Helene, the Kraemers as well. I saw Billys video this morning.

[@susanbaker8130]

So glad that you are all well. Praying that those who are suffering from Helene will be blessed by God to overcome and feel His grace in unexpected ways.

[@jeb3415]

Good to hear you are all okay! What an incredible storm came of that hurricane. You mention Metcalf- would that be the Metcalf I donated to his kickstarter to develop a grist mill? SMH, thanks Billy 😂. Look forward to your next video- blessings to the Yostead.

[@diannemiller4754]

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Sean, I wrote you earlier today via email, I'm glad to know your circle is safe. I was watching the devastation in East Tenn. /and/ Western NC which spurred me to write, right then and there, seeing the bridges disappear and the raging rivers, I was like Oh, Shit !! I had that dream of you chasing chickens around the yard. Sending my thought to you and everyone out there. Usually October and November are the last hurrah of storm season. Beware and Prepare !!

[@Carolynfoodforest355]

I am glad you are ok. I'm in North Florida. I have no electricity. This area and North of me is devastated. We have seen no help. That is all i have to say.

[@TheModernYeoman]

Hope you guys have electricity by now (or soon)!

[@Carolynfoodforest355]

I do have electricity now. But, now we have another hurricane coming.

[@kathyb8540]

So glad you're all ok praying for all. Gods Blessings to all love from Middle Tennessee.

[@eppiedoodle9423]

So very thankful everyone is ok. Thank you for taking the time to let us know. Thoughts and prayers to everyone. ❤

[@WithrowUrbanHomestead]

My parents’ community flooded during Harvey. Clean up is a massive project. It’s surreal when it happens in an area that has never experienced anything like it in the past. Five feet of water in a house that has never had any flooding in the neighborhood is hard to wrap your head around. Thankfully the National Guard convinced my family to evacuate on the last high water truck out.

[@TheModernYeoman]

That's insane! Glad to hear that your parents were safe through that.

[@cherylbertolini3140]

thanks nforn the updated glad you and your family are good

[@connieparker8896]

Praying for all that are affected

[@lavondadye8091]

Glad to hear you're all OK! Watching the news I've seen the devastation your state has sending prayers seem so small compared to what's going to be needed going forward! As someone who's family was affected by severe flooding it's hard to watch! My hope is that those affected are able receive the help they will need and will continue to pray for all affected in any way!

[@jrae6608]

Glad you’re okay and let us know about others. Don’t wait for government to help. Need drinkable water within 3 days

[@andrewhammill6148]

Good to hear you're all okay there.

[@chrissnyder5584]

Praying for everyone in Tennessee and NC. So sad. Doesn’t seem the government is doing anything for the victims. 😡. I am so happy to hear you and your family, Jim and Kathy, and Nate and Katie are ok too. Thanks so much for letting us know. Prayers will continue for everyone effected! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Nwladylaura369]

The WH had help sent prior to the storm hitting.

[@VickiTay]

@@Nwladylaura369 I haven’t heard one word from the WH about NC flooding. No checking on the citizens, zilch! I guarantee if it had been in Ukraine, this administration would be sending more money to them. This administration cares nothing for its citizens.

Many do not have power, etc. I heard it can take weeks. I loved how you stated "We're not lucky, We're BLESSED" LOVE AND PRAYERS.

Midlands of SC were not to be effected much. Lost power for 28 hrs but had full house generator. I didnt prepare because it was only be rain. Wrong. Our grocery stores are out of food. Flooding. Broad River will be coming down soon. One place we loved Chimney Rock town is gone. Asheville is an island. Pray for this nation as area is huge.

They have been through so much the last couple of years and I just want to know if they are safe they really don't need more problems 😢 Again so sorry to ask you.

Thanks, my friend! Sorry for the late comment, but Sang and family are safe and sound.

[@wadeschwartz6281]

Joyful that you are well ,,thanks for the thoughtful comments . Certainly an opportunity to asses your status for redundancy aka preparations. See you tube on the simple pump goes over an existing well for manual water and of course what generator type you would want . We have multiple solar generators but with 2 weeks of no sun it feels vulnerable as a back up ,,any way all the best !
