What happened to the LGR collection in NC

Two trees cleaved through my house after Hurricane Helene blew through my mountain home of Asheville. While I’ve shown that the damage to the structure is intense, many have asked what happened to the LGR retro collection, vintage computers, video games and such. So here’s an update!

Of course the most important thing to me is that myself, my family, and my friends here are safe. But I am also deeply thankful it was not any worse in terms of items destroyed or damaged. The majority of old hardware and software survived, and LGR videos (eventually) will continue!

Glad most stuff survived. You may feel a little funny about this channel and community with all the death and destruction surrounding you right now, but let me assure you your videos mean a lot to me and a lot of others around. There's probably thousands of LGR viewers affected by these storms, and the news of your collection making it will surely be a ray of hope to them.

Weirdest episode of LGR Thrifts yet.

Sincerely, though, I'm so happy you're okay. When my daughter was teeny-tiny and allergic to sleep, I'd put on your videos and she'd conk right out to the sound of your voice. Your channel's been my go-to when I wake up in the middle of the night with panic attacks. You've been a consistent part of me and my family's life for the past several years, and I'm glad to see you'll be able to continue doing this LGR thing you do. I hope everything works out well for you and there's the least amount of permanent damage possible!

Many have said it already, but watching you restore your collection and clean up any damaged hardware would be extremely interesting to watch; making the best out of something terrible. But only if you are up for that! We are with you through this, Clint, and are excited for any content you treat us with upon your return. Sending all the healing thoughts and well wishes to you and your family. <3

A small contribution. Thanks from India for all the retro happiness.

I know you said that we should send support to other organizations, but it's you and your channel that brought me much joy in the past and hopefully in the future as well - I never left anything, except likes. This video just breaks my heart, can't imagine how you must feel. Stay safe! Greetings from Austria.

I lost everything in a house fire a couple years ago. My collection was not nearly as big as yours. But i know how it feels to lose everything you've spent time building and collecting.

I was lucky though and I got my family out in time.

Im glad you are safe buddy.

My heart goes out to you for having to go through all this, if I was a little closer I'd offer my truck and myself to help, wishing you a fast recovery from Camden, SC.

I’ve been watching you since 2010. Watching this was kind of like a walk down memory lane and not in a good way. I’m glad that some of your stuff survived but most importantly I’m glad you survived

[TheOG-GG]

I'm sooo happy that you are OK. Your whole channel has a special place in my heart, especially coming from another OG Maxis fan! I want to do all I can to help you so that life can return to some kind of normalcy for you. Please stay well and stay safe. Thanks for the updates and for being you, Clint! ^^ - Sam from New York

After my grandmother passed, my mother would buy me computer games to play on her old laptop. Your channel is the only one I know of that talks about many of those retro games that got me through some hard times. You not only discuss those games, but have a lot of the same affection for them that I do. Too many YouTubers like to crap on old stuff.
I used to turn on your playlist of old retro games and smile at the memories of my mom and I spending time together watching old shows on TV while I played games on her laptop.
Good luck to you and thanks for the update.

I know it's not much but I hope it helps you in some way. Also, don't worry, I did donate to the charity you recommended as well. I love your channel and are praying for ya, buddy.

[bentheman]

Many people (including myself) have watched your content for years now. i know this isnt much, but i want to help out in whatever way i can. If you don't want anymore money like you said in your comment, you can still donate it to charity. I have never personally experienced a hurricane so I can't even begin to imagine being in this kind of situation. Watching this is truly heartbreaking but we're all glad youre ok and i sincerely hope that most of the stuff survived. Things might be difficult right now, but they won't always be. These things heal with time so don't worry.

[coool]

Amazing that LGR can even make his property damage video have a nice relaxing tone.

Seriously man i can't even imagine how awful it must be to go through something like that but im glad everyones fine. Glad your able to take the situation about as well as anyone can. It takes a truly humble and good man to take inventory and appreciate the things he still has but to even promote a charity over himself is beyond that. God bless

[no_Answer.]

I’m sorry what happened to you. Keep the faith!

[ryanneff]

Clint, long time watcher and I know it's not much but as the other commenters have said this just breaks my heart. I spent so much time watching your channel and learning from you and I know you must be going through a lot - hopefully this will go to whatever you need right now.

[zeldads]

I know you suggested donating elsewhere but your channel is very important to us and this is just a way to show it. x

[kaioh.]

Despite the material loss, I’m very happy that you are well and in good health. Here’s a small contribution in appreciation for how much your channel has helped me. Warm regards from São Paulo, Brazil."

I also live in Asheville and I'm glad to see that you and most of the collection are okay!

I'm an electrician and if you need help assessing your electrical situation, please reach out. I specialize in both new builds and remodels and would love to help you guys out!

Edit: I was fortunate to not have any damage to my property and currently have both power and pressurized water.

If anyone in or around the Asheville area needs any supplies, please reach out through a comment and I'll do what I can or find someone who will. We're all in this together around here!

[itekarts]

Electronic equipment damaged by water should be opened, washed with clean water, and have all dirt, mud, etc., removed. Let it dry completely, away from direct sunlight. We did this here in Brazil after the floods and managed to recover many things. Good luck! Igor from Vem de Retro Channel!

I can't imagine what you've been through clearing out all the damage and figuring out where LGR goes from here. But your cautious optimism and calm demeanor earn my respect. Onward in the journey of life, thanks for all the videos, and looking forward to some unusual ones ahead! (oh, and I'll donate to the NC orgs as well)
