Aftermath of Hurricane Helene | This Has Never Happened in Upstate SC

We have been without power since Friday morning but our home didn't suffer in damage. Western NC and east Tennessee are dealing with major damage from flooding. Please keep all the people in those areas in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks

The first time in your lifetime mate,but unfortunately it won’t be the last..

Where are your riding gloves?

Dude, there aint no one prepared for what you had happen.

You should get a backup generator if you don't already have one we had to get one to atleast power our freezer and refrigerator so our food wouldnt spoil

It was still a cat 1 up there

global warming??? they still cannot say those words by the time they do the planet will be dead

Those trees around your house protected it💯

The first time is usually the worse, except I was in a Typhoon and thought it was a bad storm until informed it wasn't just a bad storm. Or the straight wind that hit my sister's town while I was visiting, thought it was just a lot of wind. I don't mind in the least that I have never seen a tornado.

Glad you were ok tho! May I use a portion of it in a compilation of mine? I'll credit your channel of course :)!

Thank you for posting this, Grump. It appears to me that most of the devastation in that beautiful country -country which grandma and I have driven thru on the back roads, think Bat Cave, especially going from Hiddenite, NC and Asheville mostly along the rivers. Also Pidgeon Forge and Pisgah National Forest. Not to discount the trees down along hiways. My heart aches for those people harmed. I want to correct something I’m seeing from our home in Fort Worth, Texas and that is Former President Trump saying the Biden/Harris administration is not helping. That’s a lie. And now I’m hearing the same old lies about Hurricane Milton. These things are dangerous and everyone, including MAGAs, have to pull together. This is life, not politics. Please help. Grandma and I are both old, I’m 87 and we can’t help as we could earlier. I beg you, help in my stead. Our fellow Americans need help. Stop the lies and start the good stuff of helping. Semper Fi.

Tree farmer here in Vermilion County illinois...
Hell we lost 20 to 30 trees..including one close to our house!

Great footage thanks, what bike do you have?

Glad to have found something covering an
area I sorta know. My husband is from around here and you were on a road he takes to work everyday. We live down around Iva and it was similar down here. So many down trees and lines. Thank you for covering what you did.

Pretty nice ride 😊 thanks 🙏🏻
Pleasant voice and mannerisms 👏🏼🥳

Just missing internet now near Spartanburg. We have a broken-in-half power pole at the end of the street. Thankful and praying for the lost ones.

I think these hurricanes are being sent to show us how sick and evil our government really is.

Please INTERVIEW TRUMP!!! If every Grass Roots Journalist contacts him, he could get so much more info out! Save WE THE PEOPLE

I just made it through SC to North Carolina and home but it was rough. Now my family in Florida is getting hit again.

A good report of actual storm results. I wish you well in the clean-up and recovery.

hello from the grumpy old man on the DR in waterloo

So, so sorry

Thank you for taking us with you to explore the damage in your area .

Most of the coverage are on Florida, NC, GA, but we in SC got hit pretty bad too. I live in Boiling Springs and never seen nothing like this. We moved here from RI.

What's the elevation where you're at? Flash floods can happen at any elevation lower than the highest point. Especially with that much rain.

People can get water from the hot water heater or your storage tank to your well !!! I hope it help someone !

Who thinks they open the flood gates from the dams during the storm to created a wall of water destroying everything in its path ! Towns totally wiped out!!! What would cause this! But that !!! Think of it ! They want the land for mining !

I'm from Florida and now live in Texas. I'll never laugh at anyone who suffers a hurricane. We're prepared. Y'all aren't. Why would you be? Nobody could have anticipated this. Let's all hope it never happens again.

Good job on the video. Thanks for posting.

This situation is not funny to anyone with a soul. Prayers to all touched by this flood

Please be safe and hoping things return to normal soon, but consider pulling together rather than politicizing this event. Think about what it must mean if it is a "biblical flood." Maybe it is time to get ourselves together as a people? Half of us fighting with the other half is not going to help us deal with these kinds of events. Remember that we have government to keep the dumbest of us putting the rest of us at risk...do what the rescue people say in order to help them out. Save criticism for AFTER the crisis.

SC senator Lindsey Graham said on Fox that Israel is more of a priority then the hurricane victims. Damn.

Praying for y’all here in Charleston. Sending water and supplies, hope it helps. God bless you all!

North Carolina is open for business today come one back look at the trees Biden and Democrats done manic in cleanup and restoration of the damage

Where are you located if you don't mind?

I grew up in Coastal NC and one of my best friends lives in Pickens/Easly SC, it was cut off up there before the storm. We came back from fishing in Alaska one year he took me up into the mountains to meet a guy the call wolf man, what a character :D.

O shit Biden and the Democrats have said that every one is happy and you all got everything you needed and back to normal we all got to believe in the Democrats

Biden and the Democrats say everything is fine and that everyone is happy the Democrats have done well attacking the storm and everything is fine are you fine and happy show your happiness vote

There’s been people saying it was a self made hurricane just saying

How hard is it to drive a bike like you have?

Man dude, glad your ok down there, I feel for ya.'', hopefully Timmy is good also!

Thanks for the info. Glad you're o'k. I was born in Elkin, NC, my sis. in Todd.

I live in the upstate of SC as well. I lost my home to this storm. Luckily I took my kids and left Thursday night. We might not have survived if I hadn't left. Its still devastating to lose 20 years of memories and your home within a matter of hours. We just got power yesterday. My family 12 miles from me still dont have power. SC wasn't prepared for this. We have storms, high wind and lots of rain, even tornadoes here and there but this was historical.

Riding on loose debris one handed! You're a special kind of stupid.

You have definitely had winds like that before, I am 62 and have seen quite a there, but never in the scale of that in such a wide spread area. The last real bad one was in 1999. But most close to the coast.
