A short 4-minute video of Helene Friday morning, September 27, 2024. Beaverdam Area, Asheville, North Carolina, USA.

This video is my documentary of the Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) removing a tree from my house after Hurricane Helene. They cleverly used a nearby tree for a pulley system, supporting the tree on the house as they removed it. The five volunteers came down to Asheville from other states. Thank You!

Neighbor James Swinger uses a Cat Skid Steer to remove a large stump and push it to the debris pile. I shot the video of James on November 2, 2024. I am posting this video in the summer of 2025 and we are still doing cleanup and repairs. One home two houses over a short distance is still unlivable.

Lower your volume as the saw is shrill. FEMA cleanup (May 7, 2025) after Hurricane Helene that occurred earlier (09/27/2024). The tree was judged dangerous as it could possibly fall on my neighbor's house in the future.
