Brick homes seem to withstand wind the best. Weird how that wind kept streghth through the mountains.

[arberreka]

Hopefully Americans are hard working people! They will recover, condolences to the family of the one who are not with us after this nightmare!

[janicethomas]

We need to know the sites that are known. PLEASE PUT A FEW DETAILS.

[TeresaHamn]

I am praying for these people. God have mercy.

[lakecomo]

They're gonna need a national program to fix all this. Catastrophic.

[eddygci]

How did it do worse to the west rather than its east?

[stainedglass]

Do you think they can salvage any building material before taking it to or creating a landfill. Seems like some would be better than none.

THE TEARS OF LIFE & MORE -2024??
Helene hit like an atom bomb
Consuming the helpless in its path.
The waters of the deep surged forth
Flooding everything with their wrath.

The storms of life come to everyone
There are none who are immune.
Some approach in our later years
While others come too soon.

Conviction is our emotional union
As we weather the storms of Earth.
Thank God for His amazing grace
Which helps us reveal our worth.

Tears are a love-mates humble gift
When it's time to say goodbye
Though the eyes are wet and swollen
With time and patience they dry.

Please tell us exact location being destroyed. This is weak.

[shirley]

Be nice if they identified the area a bit?

[efizwke]

I wish they'd include what cities.

[SherryHill-ky]

The trolls are on here listing names. Pitiful!

[azaelamiller]

Have you and Matt ever considered having a generator for power back up?

[tamarastoflet]

Hope and pray they can get federal aid

[wydoesntexist]

The gov warned 'Not to shoot at the hurricane, it wont stop it'. I said "Thanks but I'll do my own research".
