Agreed. Ive followed him off and on since the beginning. Love Clint ❤️

I watched his video doing a walkthrough of the damage yesterday. It’s really sad. Not just his collection of all this stuff that he is so passionate about, but his whole house. So much damage caused by nature. I hope he’s able to get things back to semi-normal soon.

I recently volunteered at a community recycling drive where people could drop off old tvs and broken things. You would not believe the amount of valuable stuff people brought. An old lady had a box with an nes and about 15 games plus a PS1 and who knows what else. I asked her if she wanted to keep it as it’s valuable, she said no. I left it in her trunk.
Next time I’m going to stand a block or so away with a sign asking for old computers and stuff, it’s ridiculous how muxh valuable old tech gets thrown away.

I believe he had a new in box Apple Newton that sustained a bunch of water damage. Not sure how rare those are.
Yeah, and we probably should discourage storing them in areas prone to hurricanes.
He lives in western North Carolina, definitely not an area prone to hurricanes.
My bad, I’m not familiar with NC, so I guess I assumed Ashville was near the coast.

So far, things seem to be prety decent where I’m at in Utah, but we do have the looming risk of “the big one” Earthquake. But to be fair, that has a pretty high chance of causing Yellowstone to erupt, which would probably kill everyone on the planet, so I guess I prefer a quicker death to starvation.
But yeah, Ashville is way in there, no wonder he was surprised.
Yellowstone would only immediately kill people within a certain radius. overall it would be pretty survivable.
Huh, I thought it would be bigger than that, what with how massive it is and how much ash would go up into the sky.
Looks like I would probably survive, but my house wouldn’t, and getting out would royally suck because it would wreck the air intake for my car. But I could probably make it out.
I have no clue how he’s this quickly been able to have such a positive attitude and sense of humor about it. I’d be despondent in his shoes.
I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised; Clint always brings such enthusiasm and positivity to his videos. He’s a go-to when I’m sick. He’s like chicken noodle soup in video form.
Probably being wealthy helps
Can we talk about how he is directing people to not donate to him, but instead donate to help others in his area. Absolute Chad.
Poor Clint… That must have been heartbreaking to see.
That fucking Lamborghini laptop really hurts goddamnit.
Oh, that’s heartbreaking.
my wife won’t live in a house with any trees within striking distance. i can see why
Your problem are not falling trees, but flimsy houses! A concrete or steel structure would have cut that tree in half. The roof tile would have been damaged but that’s cheaper to fix.
can’t say i would argue! but when all the houses are that way, i can’t really buy a concrete/steel construction house in any normal price range
