Hero Helps Rescue Neighbors From Hurricane Helene Flood

Neighbors took refuge in a North Carolina house as Hurricane Helene floodwaters trapped them in freezing water five feet deep. Some were holding their pets to keep them from drowning. They took shelter in the home of James White. After two hours White and two companions led his neighbors to safety using ropes and lifejackets. Showing amazing resilience, White and other homeowners are already cleaning out what remains of their homes and starting to rebuild their lives.

“You can replace a home, but you can’t replace a life”. That Hits Hard!!

“We lost everything but that’s trivial because you can’t replace a live” what a strong quote he said

What a great guy. He doesn’t care about his belongings during that time, he cares about his family, friends, neighbors and that’s amazing

Bless this man for saving those people!🎉 Strangers. He saved his life AND theirs. He took action instead of filming for "likes" and validation. I'd have done the same. I'd hope someone would do that for me! 😊❤

I've been there, and I've done that. In 2018, both _Hurricane Florence & Hurricane Michael_ hit me back-to-back here in North Carolina. I was left without power for a month, with my next door neighbor's tree on my house. I'm thankful for Blessed Insurance.
