Hurricane situation
🕑 Added 2024-09-29 13:25:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
So, I live in Asheville, North Carolina, and unfortunately my area was hit extremely hard by the hurricane this week. We have had massive flooding like we have never seen. From what I’m hearing a lot of areas of town that made this place special just don’t exist anymore which really makes me quite sad. When you watch the video, the area where I filmed chapter three at was entirely washed away from what I’ve been told. It is really bad here. At the moment all of the roads leading out of the city are closed and the government has said to not try and drive anywhere, effectively meaning that we are trapped here for the time being. A lot of people have no idea where their family members are and if they are safe, and everyone is asking each other if they have any news of when we can get out of here and nobody does. As of right now most people do not have power, water, or cell service. My power has been coming on and off through the night so I’ve been boiling water and have enough supplies at this point to last me a while. But that being said I sadly have no idea how long it will take before I can finish the video now because of this. I really hate to say that but there’s nothing I can do about it sadly. Because the internet provider is down I can’t say with any certainty on any window of time with this. I’ll update when I can and when I know more about what’s going on. I’m going to try to leave the city with my stuff when the roads clear through, if possible. I’m sorry again about the situation, but I’ll be back soon.

I really hope that you were able to get ahold of your loved ones and that everything is going okay for them. It really is awful what’s happened here
Chris Hill
Same. (I think we actually might have been at UNCA at the same time) Seeing all the photos from the storm made me feel like I'd lost a piece of my heart.

I went to college in Asheville and lived there a long while. I have family and friends all around Western NC that I haven’t been able to get a hold of. I’m heart broken to see what has happened to some of the most special places in Asheville. Sending all the best to everyone impacted by the hurricane. Stay safe everyone. 💚

Wish we could send you a care package, brah.

The video can wait. Do what you're able with your closest loved ones and stay healthy and warm. Be safe, dude.

Stay safe and worry about what's important right now. I hope everything starts to get better sooner rather than later.

Thank you all so much for the kind words, it genuinely means so much to me. The past few days have been really hard but I think things are going to be okay. From what I can tell the roads are still out and we still don’t have much gas around here. But I waited in a line for food today for a few hours and got a some canned goods, and I now have water stored up as well. So things will be good for right now and I can make all of that last, in a few days hopefully there will be some more available gas and I’ll be able to try and make it out of town closer to safety.

Stay safe for you as well, I really hope Morganton recovers soon also and that you’re able to get some water and power soon. It’s been really rough up here, and yeah I’ve heard the same about Swannanoa as well which is nauseating. I’ve heard there is food and gas in Hickory but I’m not sure if that is accurate or not
In Praise of Shadows
Best to you as well, I’m so sorry you’re in a similar situation right now. I really hope that you are able to find some food and water and that you and your loved ones will be safe through this. I’ll be thinking of you and hope that everything will go well there with you.

Stay safe. I work at an IT networking job and even places with big deal redundancy are down along the hurricane's whole path. Cannot imagine how bad it is for residents.

I’m down the mountain in Morganton and we’re still without water and power as well. From what I understand the National Guard is setting up base in Morganton to start working up the mountain. I can’t believe the pictures of destruction that are coming out of the mountains. Of course none of us can leave but from what I gather Swannanoa and multiple other towns on the way towards Asheville were just completely destroyed. Stay safe Zane.

Hey Zane. I’m in Augusta, GA and we got hit pretty hard too. No power, internet in and out. Low on food and water and no place with gas anywhere near us. I’m so sorry about Asheville, Zane. It’s so beautiful there and I can only imagine the devastation which I’m hearing may be the worst of all there. Sending you all the best from here as we keep moving. Please focus on your safety and health and anything you make will come in due time. You are the priority. My best to you ♥️

Thank you, I really appreciate it a ton

No my home and car are totally safe. I’m low on gas which is a big issue at the moment because there’s no place near that has any. But aside from that I’m good as far as that is concerned The set is far away from where I live actually, and so I’d be surprised if it suffered any damages. I hope it hasn’t at least
The Duchess
That's awful! Frankly, the footage I'm seeing of the flooding is apocalyptic. You have no reason to apologize, just stay safe! Solidarity from Tallahassee.
Robi
Don't worry about the video. Your safety, and the safety of your loved ones, is far more important. Please stay safe. If there's anything we as a community can do to help, please let us know
egon sundström
That sucks, for you and the town fankly. Did you experience any damage to the set you have been building or anything major things like piping or your car (answer only if you feel comfortable sharing)?
Arcee the Autobot
No need to apologise. Just stay safe.
Thunderbull
Safety first, always. Here's hoping for sunnier days, very soon.
Dilda
Oh wow, I hope you're OK. Please don't stress about the video being delayed and there's no need to apologise: your safety (and the safety of your friends, family and everyone else) is what matters.
DefiantLynx
Stay safe, Zane. Praying for you and your loved ones.
Augusta Wickman
I'm so sorry. That's a really scary. I hope you are doing okay or as good as you can be in the meantime.
Snowpaw Shaw
I'm so sorry. Don't apologize, Zane, this is a tragic thing for you to deal with. You don't need more stress, that isn't fair to you. Please stay safe and take care of your needs.
Hymen Einstein
Your safety is the top priority for sure. Don't apologize for things that are out of your control; we'll wait however long is necessary. May this all clear up soon!
