NC neighbors build makeshift bridge out of trailers 

A country boy will survive

The flat bed trailers are genius.

Makeshift bridge, this is the blood, sweat & tears America was built on. God bless all of you

Never tell a hillbilly "you can't".. He'll prove you wrong EVERY TIME.

That's American ingenuity!

It's great to see people take the initiative to use their ingenuity instead of waiting for someone to come save them.

Good old country people!😊

Genius! Never doubt the hard working AMERICAN people! Resilient! Backbone of the country! AIN'T going to stop them! and don't get in their way! Let them do what they know to do! God Bless you all!

Good ole Appalachian engineering!

These are the people that make America great.

When all hell breaks loose, these are the type of people you want by your side. Those who will help each other and come up with solutions without outside assistance or for financial gain.

Hillbilly bridge, OUTSTANDING

God bless these Americans and give them strength and hope to come back stronger! In my prayers.

This is literally the best of America! ❤🎉

They can skin a buck, run a trout line and a country boy can survive! Even without power water or FEMA! Way to go North Carolinans! 💪😬👍

They are doing this a million times better than the bloated Federal joke of a disaster agency

That’s people helping people. God Bless All Of You

These mountain and country folk are a such hardy, self-sufficient people!

Country boys will survive-----------In spite of FEMA. Bravo!

MOUNTAIN INGENUITY ❤

I’m just impressed they put the cable rail on that temp bridge.

This is why I am proud of America and the reason why we have always survived. Thank you Lord for the American spirit. We are praying for you.🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Right on, Elk Park. The bridge is awesome.

“When the going gets tough the tough get going “ It’s the American way! God Bless you all 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Good job men and women. American ingenuity at its finest.

Country Boy Can Survive!

Love the ingenuity! Thankfully, they didn’t wait for the government to fix this- they took matters into their own hands and made it work. God bless all of these people and keep them safe.

God Bless all these GREAT AMERICANS HELPING AMERICANS!!!!

Watched this with the deepest admiration for the fortitude of the people. Love and prayers from England

the bridge is fantastic ! Where there's a will there's a way !

So inspiring to see people coming together! Why does it take a catastrophe to bring us together? We can use this awesome good will everyday toward everybody.

Great idea! Neighbors helping neighbors 🎉

🇺🇸💛Desperation is the Mother of Invention 💛🇺🇸

"Country folks will survive".. These are good people doing the best they can with the little they have and making it work. Am so in awe of their strength and determination ...way to show all of us how it's done!

Yeah….go country boys👍🏼. Country boys do it themselves. Thank you!

That's how you roll! Rock ON NC!!! This is the strength of Americans. ❤️ If I had the ability, I'd be there helping. Sending success and peace for you all. 🙏 You're in our thoughts, for whatever that's worth.

A big Amen, to all those good neighbors helping each other through this!

what great ingenuity! When people come together to problem solve and survive as a community!!

❤. Great People

God bless the good neighbors of NC and else where. If we all pitch in we can see each other through this challenging disaster. And thank you WHAS11 for good informative local reporting.

Thanks so much for help with this !!++😊

Genius and what a boost to see all these folks working together ❤❤❤❤

God bless those helping in this community! 💜 Great idea for a makeshift bridge!

Cool! 😎 These hard-working getter-done souls will be an encouragement to others. Thank You! 👏

Even a large tow truck can be useful here, they have the power and winch capabilities to make a cable line with a snatch block on the other side secured to anchor point, then run both lines out and connect them to each others hook ends to make a single winch line that can run in forward and/or reverse so therefor you can winch supplies over to each side or even people if you can harness them up and tow operator can use his winch controls to send/receive cargo via winch line carrier system. A horizontal rescue line with a man basket. The bridge idea was very nice work, well done.

Prayers to you all from Texas…..

American ingenuity!! ❤

Well done!! God bless you all!😊

Kudos to these enterprising folks for getting what needs doing done.❤😊

People that live in a city could never survive something like this, when you live in the sticks you can survive because it's a way of life.... much love to these people, much respect!

That’s awesome

Amen people helping people that’s what it’s all about love your neighbor

Brilliant! These Americans are so resourceful 😄

Never underestimate mountain engineering in the spirit to get things done.
