WATAUGA COUNTY, N.C. — It all happened in an instant. “At the time, I definitely don’t think I realized just how close I came to dying,” says Rachel Mosher. Mosher and her husband were staying at their cabin on her parents’ property northwest of Boone when they noticed something out of place. “I was outside videoing because there was water coming down outside our cabin,” Mosher explains, “And I was like, ‘Oh, there’s not normally a river there. That shouldn’t be there.’ And then I caught the mudslide on video.” A wall of water, mud, and debris rushed down the hill at incredible speed, barely missing Rachel and her husband before slamming into her parents’ home – while her parents and her grandma were inside. “That entire part of the house is flattened. It’s total destruction,” says Mosher, “My husband’s brand-new car was the one that you see in the video on top of the roof.” Fortunately, her parents and grandma were in a different part of the house and got out unscathed. “Our cabin was fine. We got a little mud inside, but we’ve still got a warm place,” Mosher says, “And my parents; they still have their bedroom and the kitchen and living areas.” Her video of the mudslide has been seen by millions, with many people commenting on how she immediately comforts her husband after the mudslide passes. “My immediate response was just caring for him,” Mosher explains. “I love him more than anything and I would do everything that I could to make sure he’s okay.” Unfortunately, Mother Nature wasn’t done with them just yet. “There was actually a second mudslide about an hour after the first one that came through, and that crushed a couple more of our cars and washed away our road,” Mosher laments. Despite all of this damage and destruction, Mosher is keeping a positive attitude. “There’s just so many things to be thankful for, which sounds crazy, because our house did get knocked out in a mudslide,” says Mosher. “Having all the extra stuff stripped away and seeing the priority and what really is important is the people. That’s what we still have.” And she says this terrible thing is a blessing in disguise, bringing so many people together. “We’ve all lost power, water, and everything, but they little that we do have, everyone is sharing. And I think that’s just amazing.” Mosher says insurance won’t cover all of her family’s costs. Consider donating to their GoFundMe HERE. FULL INTERVIEW
