The sermon on the mount, Matthew 7:7-14, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalms 57:2, Psalms 91 ,. I have learned that there is nothing a dad loves, and there is nothing a mom loves more than their children. Psalms 91, Romans 8:37-39. Deuteronomy 28, Mark 10:17-27, Matthew 5:17, Luke 6:46.

You Know, your story tells the love a father has for his family! Don't ever forget that, even when you get mad at him. Thanks for sharing. Happy Milling

boss man used his climbing skills to get on that fallen tree. a father having to save his entire family can be a unstoppable force. thanks EM n JADE for sharing these personal incidents and windows into your lives.

Your Dad, "the boss", seems to be a man of few words but with a determination to protect his family by any means necessary. You two may not realize it yet but that determination lives in both of you too. Your work ethic is just the tip of that iceberg.

Amazing and powerful story. Thanks for sharing.

I remember that year and the years after. Bridges were out and working in the affected areas was a nightmare. The company I work for worked on the cleanup. It was the first time I had seen flood damage on tops of mountains. The story you tell about what you Dad did was heroic! The determination of saving one’s family is a force of nature.

Family is everything…never forget

God Bless You and your DAD!

Give God the praise for giving your dad the courage and determination to save his family.

You’re dad is a remarkable man, without friends and family we have a difficult road

WOW what a story, what a hero your dad is. Glad you made it.

Very powerful stuff, Americans need to get back together and stop fighting and start remembering who we are , forget politics and hate , we are survivors ! Never quit !

God is amazing! Your family continues to be blessed because of your faith!

Floods are very scary events. The force of raging waters is unmeasurable, in a blink you could disappear. Very well narrated, thanks for the opportunity to see this disaster through your eyes.

Fascinating, inspiring, and terrifying. Your family is made of some very tough stock. American spirit through and through.

Hi Emerald and Jade, a horrific story, and you were both clearly emotional while telling it......Tears don't easily come to my eyes as i get older, but they did on this occasion.........I'm so happy that you all got through this disaster safely......Your dad is truly a hero........Stay well. 😘

You ladies are the dream an old man desires for his grandchildren; hard workers and engineers in your trade. As an old woodworker and cabinetmaker, I enjoy your videos of the sawmill and your hard work cutting lumber. You make your parents proud. Thank you and happy new year and prosperous 2022.

His faith in God helped him find the way. You have an awesome dad!

Family is everything. Shalom.

Your Father is a great Man and Leader and all of You are Gifted for what You went thru. That was quite a story and would be a great movie. My heart goes out to all of You

your dad did what a father should have done! Family is all there is at times like that! your parents did what they should have done and they loved you so very much they would have gave their lives that night! God Bless them and you!

I took me 3 times to watch this video it brought back scary memories to me, I survived being trapped underwater in my car in 1982. I tried twice to get out, water was filling the inside of the car up, I put my head down and said Lord help, my next conscious thought was that I was walking through water. I went to my friends house and he and his dad went to the scene and found my car 150 down the road with all windows up and all doors locked. Devine intervention? I'm glad you all made it out ok. Brian

I lived through a flood back in 1973 when I was 16 years old. At that time my family lived 4 miles from the Mississippi River. We ended up with 18 inches of muddy water in our house which doesn't sound like all that much compared with your experience but still did a lot of damage and required a total remodel of our house. While you were telling your story it brought up a bunch of old memories of the things I experienced during my disaster. As you said, water is extremely powerful and dangerous, and a flood not only does unbelievable damage but can take lives, livelihoods, and shatters your emotional well-being. Being faced with your mortality can certainly change your life. I too, remember the "smell." We began cleanup at our house by mopping the floor with bleach and then just hosing out all of the mud (I bet we did that 20 or more times). I don't think the smell ever fully went away and we took every wall to the studs in the remodel. Life is precious, and your story proves how much your dad values each member of your family. Don't ever doubt his love, you saw it on full display that night. Tragedy has a way of drawing families and communities together. I could tell you story after story of things that took place during that time in my life as I'm sure you can regarding this event in your lives. This has obviously made you stronger women and strengthened the bond of love in your family. I pray that God will continue to bless your lives as you will obviously continue to grow to become exceptional young women.

You made me cry. You are completely right in saying that no one that hasn't gone through this will truly understand.

My goodness ladies this certainly is a powerful life changing event. Your dad is an honest hero who put his family first. I’m a little old man and I teared up. You two will be brave for your own families someday.

Thanks ladies! Incredible story of survival and perseverance! Glad y’all came through it 🥰

A really moving story. You are real heroes. Greetings from Germany.

The "Boss Man" is a Father and a Man. He would give his life to save his family and never even think about it. At times like this you just have to trust him. Respect. (and you all made it possible)

Thank you for the frank and heartfelt story of some of your family’s history. This is what makes us stronger and the family bond stable. I have, in the past, marvelled at the apparent strength of the family unit that is visible in your videos, but now I see, partly at least, where this originates. You are all survivors and much stronger people than some of the “princesses” I see sometimes. Heroes one and all!😁👍🏆

Wow! That must have been very traumatic for you all. Well done for sticking to the task and coming through it. Your dad sounds like he fought like a lion to save you all.

As the saying goes, “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger “. Thank you for sharing this with all of us out here in the ether. May God bless you and your family.

Wow you guys! Thats just incredible! Someone was defiantly looking out for your family! Your dad had amazing courage!

What an amazing story!! A life changing experience and one which required great courage and strength!! You have incredible parents!!

I understand your Dad's unstoppable determination. A man's family is his soul and no father would not give his last breath for that family he holds dear. This I know because I had to literally carry my 3 year old daughter out of the midst of a devastating cat 3 tornado and my only direction was dependence on God.. though much was lost, my daughter as well as myself were safe with just minor injuries. It truly doesn't matter to me what others think, Jesus has given us an inestimable gift by having access to God Himself through himself. I believe that is what kept and protected me and my young daughter, and as I reckon that is what gave your Dad the strength and direction to get you guys out.... As we may be father's to our children, then so is God to us... Matthew 7... Vaelin

I can tell you from my own life, when crisis come and there is no way out, God always makes a way and He is always with me when these things happen. May God bless your family and keep you safe.

Love that everything turned out for the best, God always has a plan

A father love never stops,mother love is forever

I know I'm late to this video, but that was very touching. I could tell how much it affected your young lives and how absolutely determined your parents were in saving you. Oddly, I grew up just north of where you are and lived through a flood when the Tioga (PA) and Chemung (NY) rivers flooded. Lived in a church evacuation center for 8-days and my mother the RN would take the people the National Guard flights would bring in and check them out. I spent an entire summer helping clean up the area. That smell you described is still etched in my psyche and always will be...

I am north of you in New York State. I lost my home in that 2011 flood. Water reached 4 feet shy of the roof. So I understand clearly the challenge you went through. Fortunately I got to high ground in time. My house was 85 years old and had never been touched by flood prior to my buying it in 2004.

On July 31, 1987 I was 9 years old and the city of Edmonton experienced an F4 tornado. The day would be immortalized in Edmonton history as "Black Friday". The day started off exceptionally warm, but the storm clouds grew in the afternoon. The skies were ominous and dark. My dad sprung into action, and packed us into the car.....and we headed to the nearest liquor store. A truly heroic and selfless act. In all seriousness, we weren't in danger in our home, despite the massive softball sized hail pelting our neighbourhood. I'm lucky enough to have the most amazing wonderful and amazing father, who I try to be like in everything I do. I am so happy for families that have fathers that love and support their families. I count my blessings often, and I'm glad you do the same. Thank you for sharing your story.

This video is the reason I have so much respect for the Boss. What an incredible life story.

Until you have lost everything except what’s on your back !! It’s hard to explain it to someone else I know from experience and hear that in your voice as you tell the story!!! You are truly blessed and you know it !!

As a father I know how rare it is to have a first hand story of tragedy like this told from his children's point of view. Your story from your point of view is rare and priceless, a treasure to preserve for future generations.

WOW 🙏🏻 THANK GOD YOU MADE IT AND ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT AMEN 🙏🏻

Amazing story of an amazing family . You're strong work ethic will take you far in life . God Bless you and your family .

I echo what others have written. Powerful, powerful story. I commend the bravery of your young selves. Thank you for sharing.

Emerald looks the same , but Jade looks so young in this video. I bet Dad was livid, his wife and kids in danger. You young ladies are full of surprises, I am so happy the family made it out together and safe.

So sorry you experienced that. I'll bet it bonded you even tighter as a family. You mentioned praying to God. I hope you thank him that your lives were spared. Love your family.

For his family, a father will continue on until he has gotten all to safety. God Bless Bossman and his wonderful family. The Lord stepped in and kept pushing him to go on.

Wow! Great job of telling a gut wrenching story of survival. Your parents are extraordinary! Your dad put his life on the line to save his family. It's obvious you two have the same core values.

i sure loved hearing about your dad. he sounds like the kind of man the rest of us can respect and admire. he is a blessing to your family. i can hear how much you appreciate him, and i bet all of you make sure he is aware of that. good for you, (all) and God bless. God, family, country.

A great story. Makes me appreciate all of you more. Thank God.

Not going into details here but our families are so much alike it's unreal. Blessings to all of you.

Disaster preparedness is a REAL thing that we have forgotten. Everyone should have a plan for the top 3 MOST LIKELY natural disasters . ALWAYS keep multiple flashlights and extra batteries in every vehicle. I have a headlamp that will provide light for 4 hours on high. 6 hours on low. Every vehicle should have a backpack with one or two MREs, multiple ways to start fires, spare wool socks, and a lifestraw or sawyer water filter. Also a handfull of mylar blankets. Less than $2 each at walmart. Glad y'all made it out.

When you have challenges in your future lives remember that you both have your Mother's and Father's strength and judgement in you.

I find it very appropriate, that your dad found a way across , using a tree to guide y'all to the other side ... I'm sure glad y'all made it safely as a family and God Bless you all , each and everyone of you 💗💗💗💗💗

You all need to write a book on this experience

I'm in southern N.H,and witnessed a freak flood,20 miles from home,on way home from VT,a large group of us ended up trapped on a small piece of high ground, refrigerators and couches blasting over the main road,bulldozers trying to make dams,I was 16 then,so this story I very much understand,I'll say again,I'm blessed by the algorithm for finding your channel

Your story is a Wonderful Testimony of love and survival. Thank you for sharing it with us. May Gods Peace be with You and Yours Always!!!

WOW...just WOW....God is awesome, with the things he shows us throughout Life's journey, amazing. Things happen for a reason.... sometimes we don't understand it. It seems to have installed an appreciation in your hearts, never forget, learn and move on. You have a great family.

Just came across your video. Can’t imagine what your family went through. I’ve subscribed. Now being 71 years old I took a nap soon after. I left You tube playing. I woke up to a beautiful piano playing. And looked at the screen to see who it was. There was a bible verse across the screen which accompanied the piano. It read “ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not over take you….. Isaiah 43 : 2. Now that was awesome . That verse stayed there for awhile as the piano continued. Had to share that with you.

Thank God I wasn't the only one who saw glowing branches and mushroom at the time of my fiery trial more worst that death itself. It happened in the darkest moments of my life, and I saw those glowing branches and mushroom in pitch black darkness at four different mountains I climb alone out of my deep sorrow and despair. But I kept my faith in God. This is his way of giving us a little spark of hope, a hint of light that is within us(since we are also compared to plants by God) which will glow and make our spirits shine in the darkest of times that the Devil brings to our lives. Now is stil night for the Lord, the day only comes for when his son returns to uproot all evil in this world. Stay true and keep the faith in God, love lots. More blessings to come for your family. Keep safe guys I enjoyed watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️ Isaiah 60 King James Version (KJV) 21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 22 A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. Psalm 1 King James Version (KJV) 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Isaiah 53 King James Version (KJV) 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Ezekiel 17 King James Version (KJV) 24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.

This was a video we missed. Praise The Lord that you all made it through! My wife Julie and I love watching your videos...we love to watch wholesome videos that feature family businesses and homestead operations. We love your work ethic and how the family works together. God Bless!

Happy New Year! It sounds like the boat was to small. Your dad is a smart man. Going a tough route to be safe isn't fun but it kept the family safe. Give him a few extra hugs. He earned them. May God continue to bless your family.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

I seen Irene pick up a house and send it down rt 30, cars and trucks float down the schoharie crick. Never thought I'd see anything like that

Those glowing plants we have so many of that here in the PNW that when we clear tress from an area and disturb the ground during the day that night will be filled with glowing fungus which glows green to see a big area of cleared forest glowing like that is magical I used to gather it all up and put it in a mason jar and it created a mason jar light bulb that really lite up the cabin.

Great story, sets the stage for what you have accomplished since and in the future. You should write it down with quotes from each of you for family history. Date it and let your grandchildren read it someday.

That’s a very touching story. Your father is a good man with amazing determination. Glad y’all survived that flooding storm.

The bravery, fortitude & greatness of your family is admirable & impressive. Thank you for sharing this epic story of your very difficult experience that made you stronger & more determined to be very successful.

Thanks for sharing your stories. I was wondering about the rain there in "meet the team" video. Keep up the great work y'all. The first time I saw the phosphorous moss was in Tennessee it was in a thick, high canopy forest. It gets really dark even when it's not raining. If you fortunate on one of your vacations at the beach you can experience tiny phosphorous baby jelly fish, the size of peas. Swimming at night with those glowing jellies is like living out some fantastic story book. Thanks again for bringing sunshine. Cheers!

A good lesson to take away from a tragic event like this. Take the warnings serious and get to safety before it becomes a serious situation. I personally would have a hard time abandoning my home but for the sake of my family’s safety and my own it’s best to safe yourself instead of risk death trying to save material items.

Know and lived your story well. Live in Johnstown Pa. South west of you. Famous for three floods here that destroyed about everything. Your so right on how you never know unless you’ve been in it. And after the shock settles, the real work starts of cleaning and rebuilding. Had to chuckle about the smell of flood mud. Still get the shivers if I get a hint of it. So glad your all safe and strong. Bob in Johnstown

What an amazing story! Thank you for sharing!!

blessings and greetings from germany

That story was amazing. Definition of family right there. Your dad is an amazing man, he may be moody and you might not be able to ask him questions until the end of the day but he is always looking out for your family. Really happy you guys are alive! I can’t get over that and how that must of felt especially your mom with a one year old. God bless you guys and I’m so excited to meet you!

I knew your Dad was special the first time i heard him talk. I do not know how i missed this one the first time around but what a nightmare for you kids to go through ,i am so proud of your parents for keeping you safe so that you can give us these awesome videos we watch today

Nice job ladies nice job ladies. It’s always good to see contact from people who actually know what they are talking about. Keep up the good work.

God Bless you all,❤❤

Ive lived through several floods, water is a powerful force, The reason they were angry when you didn't go to the firehouse is you are supposed to be helpless. The authorities dont like people who are capable of taking care of themselves.

We had record flooding in Ferndale, Sumas and Everson WA this year. Thanks for your perspective on flooding and the dangers of not being prepared.

That sounds scary as hell. Water is pretty much an unstoppable force.

The Heavenly Father was with you all. God Bless you all.

Thanks for sharing this difficult but inspiring life event.

My gosh thanks for sharing your story. Your dad is an incredible man and so are you two and your mom. You made me very emotional

May God bless you all the name of Jesus Christ Amen❤

God Bless you. I'm so happy everyone's ok. It would make a great movie lol. You had me in tears.

Be happy! Continue to grow!

Wow. There's strength in your blood for sure.

So sorry to hear about this terrible ordeal.. Glad that all you guys made it out safely..

Grateful people are happy people, your dark experience has installed gratefulness in your souls. Stay grateful, u have each other.

God bless you all.

WOW, I can't imagine how terrifying that had to be. My area just had a 100 year flood on 8/17/21 in Haywood county nc. 100's of homes washed away. 6 lives lost. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story. Thanks for sharing.

Thank God for your Dad. He saved you and your family from a very dangerous flood. Being flooded out is a very scary disaster to go go thru and survive. Where I am at in 2018 and in 2021 we have been flooded and evacuated. In each case the officials didn't know what to do and misdirected us to safety. We had to use our own judgment and managed out. Thank you for your brave story.

Your father is a heroic man. You young ladies are blessed to be his daughter's 💕👍

I remember that year. Here in MD, we got hit with back to back remnants of tropical storms within a week of each other. I assume this was the same systems that caused all your flooding. It was over a foot of rain combined. That had to be truly scary for your family and there's few things that Mother Nature can throw at you more devastating than floods.

A very scary and inspiring story. I can't imagine how scared I would have been at age 7 and with a baby brother. Your dad was really blessed, but had a lot to live for.

It is good men like your dad that make America great.

Im so glad you're all here and well today! I'm from middle NY but every year I go up to Sonestown PA for a bday trout fishing party for my buddy..and Ive seen the damage those floods can do..whole bridges and even homes washed away. You're dad is incredible, hope you guys sell firewood bundles! I would love to buy one for my buddies cabin

This is a wild story..thanks for sharing!..as a man you would not do what you know you can't do..props to your amazing father and family!!
