I’ve been blown away by the firsthand accounts of the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and surrounding areas. There is so much footage from users on TikTok, so I started downloading clips as I came across them and put them into a single video since MSM was so slow to begin covering the disaster. It turned out to be 3.5 hours long, and this merely scratches the surface of what people are posting.
As a side note, I tried to find a way to put this on Nostr directly but even after compressing the video it was like 7.5GB (3.5 hrs of video). Satellite.earth payment system is broken and it would have cost like $40 worth of sats for a 10GB nostr.build, with just this one video using most of that. Flare limits to 2GB files. So I settled on Rumble.

Thank you for raising awareness.
It’s truly heartbreaking what the people there are going through.
Heartbreaking and scary that our politicians care more about international graft than the people of this country.
We need a reckoning.
I hope every single person that lived there becomes radicalized against our corrupt government.
Any audio and on-screen captions were from the original videos.
Thank you for this, I don't have any social media so I didn't get much footage. Got old friends there..
Great work 🫡. It's really long though! This highlights something that could be built, following the concept of composable articles but for video.
Yea this was just a video dump of clips I downloaded as I came across them. Not really meant to sit and watch from beginning to end, but easier than trying to find individual videos again on TikTok. Sometimes it seems that once you’ve watched them there it’s hard to find them again.
Wow. My mom is there to give support to victims, but I haven't really seen much footage. What a terrible time for so many people. My heart goes out to them all.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together and post it.
