For context this is what the last image Dean posted on Monday looked like prior to the hurricane (March 2023) I have reattached it for a side by side reference....Insane to say the least. Unreal-no trace of the house. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 5 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 5 THANK EVERYONE for your support and compassion! The Google map picture is exactly the same location I took the photo last Saturday! This whole valley is changed like that. The other picture is the scrap yard in Biltmore NC about a mile from the Biltmore House,, they got high water from all the runoff from places like here. Some helped showed up yesterday, but we have been on our own for a week, except a couple Blackhawk’s & Matt’s guys in the Chinook . You can tell by the way the government is handling it were not going to get much help, I’m unsure why they & the main stream media are hiding it ,, but it will come to light eventually. I’ll try to post some pictures of the 2 trucks in the small garage on my Sons house. My Grandson was excited yesterday, we got the LJ running and drove it 1/2 mile to my shed on the mountain, ( Through the Creek) 1 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 5 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 5 A happy face, on my best friend who lost so much during the past week. We washed most of the mud off and parked it high and dry last night. , the scratches on the bumper is where a log slammed the 2 tables I had the fenders setting on into it , one fender stayed on the table, the left one got knocked over, no dent, but a few scratches, Dawson ( Grandson) Says we’re leaving it that way, Hopefully 30 years from now he can tell the story about how they got there at a truck show! 4 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 There was an article on the Daily Caller website that FEMA has NO MONEY for for this and other disasters as they have spent all of their budget relocating and housing all the illegal coming across the southern border!!!!! Thank You Mr. Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Dean, I was reluctant to write about how crappy all of you are dissrespected by our government, so as to not bring politics into this, but it's true... There is no 'Hurry' at all by the Biden Klan. The news coverage on the big networks is lame, with no urgency to get there and help. I wish I was well equiped to come there and help you or those that have no means of repairing their lives, homes, and auto mobiles for example.. All I can do is think of all of you and Pray to GOD that recovering from this is swift. Dawson is surely learning many important things during this tragedy.. God Blees You...

Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 6 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6 Yes it’s looking like we may not be getting much help because they have given ALL our Taxpayer money away,,, You can’t help not getting political, These old trucks made this nation prosperous ( especially Mack ) Our Family has made money,paid taxes for generations, now that “We the People”need help they have given it all away to people and foreigners who have never paid one tax dollar. I’m not really worried about myself, I can make it without a shop, I’m more concerned about my Grandson who lost his home and most all his belongings. That’s why he was so excited when Him and Me finally got to the shop and saw the LJ had made it through the flood, we lost some parts for it , but actually it was the least damaged thing on the property. 4 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559591 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I hope the stories of FEMA, blocking the general public from helping is few and far between. If it is common place, then State Troopers and the Sherriff need to put those D-Bags behind bars.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
70mackMB Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 A video last night the guy had a van with a small enclosed trailer from Atlanta. He was just filling it up with everything, gas, propane, food, diapers, over counter drugs, toys, etc, etc. On his way to NC he was on the phone to find out where to go to drop off what he had. He was told not to go the way he went the first time because of a chance of an armed robbery in route! WTH! There are just so many videos to watch. God help all that are effected and God bless all that are helping. .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559597 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 Dean, Not many words could be said describing what was seen on the pictures you posted. Too sorry for the losses and too happy to learn you saved what survived. Hope two strong experienced hands can build the situation up and even made it improoved. Just needs time and elbow greae. Wish you power enough for all that to be done. And glad to hear the LJ passed the distress with those minimal losses. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 6 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6 Thank You all for the support, one of the biggest costs in this county is the water system,,, it’s trashed!

The Heinz Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I'm glad ya'll are making the best out of a really bad situation. The situation in the mountains has been a burden on my mind and heart since the day it happened. As for the lack of media coverage, it was bad enough that me and some friends still went full speed ahead into the mountains from eastern NC for a vacation trip because no one made a big deal out of the situation coming. I was the first to leave and the farthest along, and got almost to Old Fort before being turned around by NCSHP because of the mudslide. I got to experience a lot of trees blocking the road, seen several fall ahead of me, and hit the dead zone with no cell service to tell my friends to turn around. I'm glad you and your family are ok. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559684 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 9 Heinz , Thank you, yes it’s been terrible, And every thing went wrong that could, over 20:inches of rain, mudslides, high winds, no power, no cell. We still don’t have any power. The FEMA rep came by today, They we were just getting information, but told me pretty much that I would not get any help for my shop ,, that I would have to call North Carolina,, We are safe and digging tools and truck parts out of the mud. 2 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 sadly it's an election year; with the dirt bags in political offices using the hardships of those who sacrificed and worked to build a country to be proud of as worthless political propaganda . pocket filling seems to have overtaken this country . don't help those that built this country; what's in it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 1961H67 Posted October 9 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 9 Luckily there was ONE spot in the community where we could get phone service ,, and everyone in the community came, it was at the edge of my property over looking the valley,, there are chairs, toys, water out there. It was the “ Cellphone Location “ people walked there for the first few days. My Daughter in law got a Starlink yesterday and it’s up, and going. Mech , sadly you’re correct, I’m sure we will be old news by the weekend. 3 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/35/#findComment-559744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
