Stories of Survival | Asheville-area family rescued from Helene's flood waters on their roof 

Such a beautiful family. Thank the Lord they’re okay.

Thank you for those who rescued others 🙏 ❤️😇🙏☝️❤️‍🔥🤛🤜👏👍🤝💪

Our sympathies from Hawke’s Bay New Zealand where many families went through the same terror last year in Cyclone Gabrielle. And now Dunedin in the South Island has had severe flooding too. I’m glad these people were rescued. ❤️ ❤❤

To everyone spared, thank God and may He keep blessing you.

Glad your beautiful family is okay. Many prayers going up for y’all

Thank God the family is alive and well; for proactive who get involved saving and contributing helping others. .

Thank God for the people that got in their boats, kayaks and paddle boards to rescue their neighbors. I am so sorry for everyone affected by this. I just cannot imagine how horrifying it would be to be stuck on a roof with water almost to the top.

THANK YOU @WCNC for bringing us this interview. I have been searching fir it after seeing a quick RU-vid shorts edit. Im so happy to see One good story for today. Especially to come out of this area. Just so Happy!

Sending love and understanding from New Orleans. Stay strong yall😢❤

Your life as is now is perfect. God has His hand upon your Family. Prayers continually for all who are devastated.

Saved by neighbors! Thank goodness people are helping each other because it doesn’t seem like the military or FEMA are doing much

As a mother with a toddler seeing all of this, I feel such big feels for this family and every other family who experienced something similar. I have a friend who had to walk out in water with a baby. It all sounds so mortifying. I feel so blessed to have only had mild property damage from wind and trees, but I also can't help but feel some guilt every time I count those blessings. 😢 Never thought I'd see such a thing in my little home town.

We love you all ❤ thank you for sharing your story so other people realize how devastating it is. I pray that you find peace with what happened. And that you and your family stay safe forever now. God loves you. Amen 💕

This is so scary, horrifying. I can’t imagine being with my child and husband and almost drowning in rising water around our house..

i’m so glad I didn’t listen to the dispatcher who told him to go into the attic! Because you can tell from the picture that anyone in the attic of those houses would’ve drowned.

The attic is the last place you want to go! So many people died in Katrina stuck in their attics

Thank the good Lord, they are ok!

I will never go in attic to escape anthing.

Yes yes yes God will make a way for this family yo rebuild! Tbey will all find Careers in being Super heros! There is no way you survive this and not persue a life much bigger than yours.

I’m in Florida! Is there a place we can take clothes, hygiene care, canned foods, pet food?? That will be delivered to the people in need??

We had this tragedy in Brazil too. It's a nigthmare. It's terrible.

Cute kid, he is like the male version of Heather O'rourke. If he had said "Theiiir heeere!" I would have freaked out and thrown away my laptop, lol. But seriously, Thank God they are all OK!

Its still crazy seeing my sons picture all over media looking through the vines from our backyard. Prayers for everyone going through this. God Bless our community.

This is greatness that our government is not there are armies not their deploying water food this that gas whatever they need to survive

Wow attics can be dangerous. Make sure you have a way to get out quickly if needed or an axe

To those in charge of this devastation; FIND the missing!!!???? That's the focus with the most priority! Do it!!!!?

Dear god!!!

Aww cute little kids ..Glad they made it ok

Hello there, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

❤

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Why didn’t they evacuate beforehand, or go to a shelter??

🙏🥺

So glad they are safe but going into the attic doesn’t make sense. Getting on the rood probably saved them.

Glad they are ok. Just a question..with those who lost their homes what happens about their mortgage? Do they still have to pay the mortgage if the house is gone? Does the mortgage company take the insurance money to pay off the mortgage instead of letting the people rebuild with that money? The reason I ask is after my home was badly damaged by hurricane Charley years ago, the builder never finished the job of fixing the house and the mortgage company simply kept about $15,000 of the insurance money. The did not apply that money to my principal, nothing, I did not get any back to replace my destroyed furniture as some of that money was intended for, no the mortgage company simply kept the money!

Jesus Christ is Lord

😢😢

Hey, federal gov't, put helping the newcomers to our country on pause and help the American people in their time of need... NOW !!!!

✝✝

Billions for migrants, Ukraine and Israel. Leftovers and depleted funds for Americans.

This is Kamalas Katrina. These folks need help

It is gonna happen again and again even worst.

Well going to another part of the same house that's flooding.... Isn't a Good idea!

Why was there no cell service anyone

They, need blame who ever open the lake on rain day, is no way the only rain from the sky the river got full of whater?

In case some of you people forgot, this is AMERICA. We don't need help or support from any other countries WE ARE THE HELP. We aren't some 3rd world country that needs to beg for money. We don't need anyone to help clean up our disasters. WE (AMERICANS) pull together and do it ourselves because we aren't weak. WE are more than capable of standing on our own 2 feet and brushing ourselves off. Some of you may feel like we're entitled to getting help since we do it for everyone else BUT that is what being A LEADER IS. Someone has to lead the free world and keep justice/ democracy alive. [metaphor] You wouldn't ask a homeless person for money (especially if they are being invaded unjustly, shot at on a daily basis, rapidly losing their infrastructure and going through a genocide) hell no... you are a grown adult who has grown adult money and the help of fellow neighbors, friends, and family to help support you. Remember that whenever you feel like you need a handout. And especially remember that whenever you sleep under this flag🇺🇲 We have responsibilities and that not just a couple hrs of the day, that's 24/7 365 days a year. Humble yourself and realize that people KILL to be a U.S citizen. It's the greatest privilege of our world.

Kayak. In attic

The feds had to drag out the rescues for the media...that's why it took them 4-5 days

Я сочувствую вам. Но это сам Бог наказал США за поддержку террористического государства - Украина. Если ваши политики и ваш народ не одумается, ещё более страшные события произойдут...

It's only a bit of rain. What's all the fuss. It happens

The price of living in the rural areas.

God Jesuchrist help that family
