This video should be required viewing for understand how bad things got in the mountains last week and why nobody left before the storm.

Insane video shows the drastic change in water level and devastation caused by the flooding in Western NC.

Jay-Paul Thibault in Burnsville, NC filmed how quickly the water rose and the destruction that followed.

Unfortunately this is the sad reality for hundreds if not thousands of families. Please keep praying, keep giving, keep sharing, and keep helping. I'll link to his GoFundMe to rebuild in the next post.

0:02 - The Distance From the River to the Bottom of the Bridge is 22 Feet

Thu 9/26 - 8:48 AM
0:09 - "The water's already up about 5 feet I'm guessing... so it's pretty intense."

Fri 9/27 - 7:34 AM
1:27 - "This is the road [completely under water] and there's no crossing on 19W."

Fri 9/27 - 8:14 AM
1:48 - "I was just told this flood is going to exceed the flood of 1916 which dwarfed the flood of 1977." (The water is at the 1000-year level)

3:46 - "I think I'm going to lose the bridge."

Fri 9/27 - 8:27 AM
5:56 - "Well there's not much I can do about it but the bridge is gone. I've got no way over there until we repair that."

Fri 9/27 - 8:37 AM
6:28 - "So I'm safe and I'm at the Fire Station. We're gonna wait it out here."

Fri 9/27 - 8:49 AM
6:56 - "We've got some trucks that got swept away and this is getting pretty crazy... there's the house that was just refinished and that looks like it could get swept away. I hope it doesn't. That's Jeff's house. I'd say we're close to 20 feet over the regular height of the river."

Fri 9/27 - 10:10 AM
8:56 - "So we are now on the roof [on top of trucks in the fire station garage] hanging out watching the river go by and we've got about 6 more feet before it's at our feet here now."

Fri 9/27 - 10:42 AM
9:13 - "We are punching our way out of the roof at this point in case the flood continues [cutting a hole in the ceiling with an ax to get to the roof of the fire station]. As you can see, everything in here is floating away."

Fri 9/27 - 11:51 AM
9:43 - "Holy sh!t is all I can say [while on top of the roof]. The entire dump station is gone; the building, the trash containers."

Fri 9/27 - 12:02 PM
12:08 - "Look at the house. Holy sh!t. That's going downstream... That house is just floating away. Been there for 100 years probably."

Fri 9/27 - 3:08 PM
14:35 - "So I found my pickup truck [upside down and completely destroyed]."

Fri 9/27 - 3:09 PM
14:47 - "So here's the road, or what's left of it."

16:34 - "All of my building is gone; all the construction I did... everything I own... everything that I built is gone. I don't know how to express this. The whole farm here is gone. This is where I parked my car and we had the bridge and it's just gone. So I guess you start over. I left the goats unlocked and they would've gone up the hill. But everything I've done for the last 2 years is pretty much non-existent."

First time ever @UNCFootball with Chrome/White/White look for tonight's game at Duke. Heels 3-1 all-time in chrome: wins over NCSU & UVa in 2012 and Duke in 2014, loss to NCSU in 2014. This look a bit more Carolina blue tint & foot logo updated. @UNCEquipment
