++VIDEO QUALITY AS INCOMING++
(Reporter: “How long have you lived in Chimney Rock?”)
“Born and raised.”
Reporter: “And you said you’re 32?
PAYNE: “Yep.”
Reporter: “Can you describe what this feels like?”
PAYNE: “At 7:00 (in the morning) we went and checked the river and it was just starting to hit the tops of the bridges. And when we got back to the firehouse and told the old jeep that there was no man hit the bridges because he was here in 96’ when it flooded and he looked at us like we were crazy.”
3. Various of people hugging
4. SOUNDBITE (English) John Payne, volunteer firefighter:
“These boulders are the size of cars or houses, even, that are rolling down the river. There’s the steel girders from the beams on the bridges. I just walked up there. Hiked up the river and there that are bent in horseshoe shapes around boulders. It’s. Yeah, the sound of everything when it was going, like a locomotive you couldn’t see, you know what I mean? And it’s not water at that point, it’s mud, the concrete like material. You know what I mean? So whatever it hits, it’s taking.”
5. Various of community members gathering
6. SOUNDBITE (English) John Payne, volunteer firefighter:
“There’s no control over Mother Nature. We can try all we want. You know, I mean, but at the end of the day, she’s still in command.”
7. Pan of community members gathering
8. SOUNDBITE (English) John Payne, volunteer firefighter:
“These people are strong as the mountain. You can’t run us out that easy. Yeah. They tried to burn us out. Years ago. We had to big fire. We came back from it. We came back from the 96 flood. We came back in the 93 blizzard. This is a big one don’t get me wrong but we will be here. We will be back. We will bounce back.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Canada, resident:
“(Living in Chimney Rock Village for) Three years. We actually moved here from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to get away from hurricanes. Isn’t that ironic?”
++BLACK FRAMES++
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Canada, resident:
“During Covid, we decided to sell everything and we hopped in our camper and RV and just traveled the East Coast. And we settled here because we thought it was the most just absolutely beautiful place that you could go. And I mean, there’s a 404 foot waterfall on the other side of there, and the town was just so charming.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Canada, resident:
“We did a lot of water damage up under the house. It came through the floor. And then obviously we had trees (falling), no trees on the house. Got a full denial letter from our insurance. So that’s- that’s wonderful.”

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Chris Canada, resident:
“And there’s no Route to Asheville anymore or Hendersonville or I don’t know. Tell the government that we need- that the town needs money. It needs to be rebuilt.”
