STROUD, Okla. (KFOR) — A man from Stroud and his wife, who now live in North Carolina, are bringing back a pickup truck full of supplies after their city was hit hard by Hurricane Helene. They told News 4 it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of some Oklahomans.
“We just came up with the idea on a whim on Saturday,” said Nick Migues.
Migues and his wife Kristen spoke to News 4 in their truck on their way home to Asheville, North Carolina. They didn’t have time to stop.
“We’re loaded up right now and we have a bunch of stuff in the bed,” said Kristin Migues.
When they’re not driving monster trucks in North Carolina, they’re mobile mechanics.
The couple told News 4 they had been planning a trip to visit family in Stroud, Oklahoma. They left the day Helene hit their community.
“That was a blessing for us because we missed the bulk of it,” said Kristen Migues. “There’s a lot of chaos going on in Asheville right now.”
