I was stranded in Asheville on Saturday with my 77 year old sister trying to get home to Tenneessee. We were adopted by a woman in a parking lot who took us to her home, and gave us a roof and safety. Her neighbor, who had a generator fed us. The rest of the neighbors contributed. In their worst moment, they welcomed two strangers.

The devastation is overwhelming. I've never seen anything so awful. Please keep this community and so many others, in your thoughts.

Hendersonville, NC here. I’ve lived here for 28 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before. We are so blessed to have people across the nation coming in to help. God bless everyone of you.

I'm from down on the NC coast and have been through some bad storms. But I never thought the beautiful mountains would get it so bad. God bless you all. Sending what I can to the rescue groups for both humans and animals.

I live in Raleigh, I lived in Asheville in the 80’s and 90’s I love Asheville, I am heartbroken at what I see.
Praying for all of the area. ♥️

My heart is broken for each of you involved in this catastrophe. The little trucking company I work for is doing all we can (like so many others) to keep bringing all of the supplies we can carry to distributors in the area for your rebuild, but feel horrible we can't do more.
I am praying for y'all, and my most heartfelt condolences for all of the families and friends of those lost. All storms do damage, but this one was a true monster.
Love and support from Kentucky.

To be complete honest this is a situation where the communities have stepped up and helped way more than the govt has. Thankful for all those out here helping

I was sitting in a Wendy’s yesterday when I saw this, I looked around thinking to myself how a building can be overtaken by water.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone being affected by this and the losses they have endured. Very heartbreaking.

I cannot even imagine Asheville looking like this!! They are basically in the mountains!! I would NEVER have dreamed this kind of thing could happen there. It makes me so sad. Asheville is/was such a beautiful place. My prayers for everyone there.

Those of us that live close to the east coast certainly know about hurricanes. This is a bad one. We pray for all those affected. I live in Pa. and the southern states have helped us many times over the years. It's our turn to help y'all. Hang on, we're on the way!!!

That's terrible. We got flooded in Montreal last month, I lost my basement. But this?
This is catastrophic! My heart goes out to Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee.
And Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic.
Nepal and Bangladesh. I hope everyone recovers!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Water requires respect. We were not built for it. My heart goes out to these people. What a story to live.

[jackiejohnson]

May God watch over you all! Sending Love from Minnesota. Stay Strong. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Why are people being blamed for living in a disaster area? Try to find anywhere that's 100% safe from every natural disaster.

I pray for the animals...they are the ones forgotten
