Hurricane Helene Recovery

Hurricane Helene devastated much of western NC. The mountains were hit hardest, with severe flooding and landslides, leaving many communities in ruin, thousands without utilities, and hundreds dead. The city of Asheville and the surrounding regions are in desperate need.

More than 300,000 people remained without power in Georgia and the Carolinas Sunday (October 6th) evening, with more than 140,000 customers impacted in North Carolina alone, according to poweroutage.us.

Hurricane Helene made landfall September 26 on Florida’s Big Bend as a Category 4 and created a 500-mile path of destruction with catastrophic flooding, damaging winds and power outages.

A week after the storm, the smell of death overpowers the cool mountain air over the isolated, twisting roads of devastated rural western North Carolina.

“You’re driving past cities and you can smell the dead bodies,” said Jazmine Rodgers, 32, a consultant for nonprofits who has been volunteering to help neighbors in the hard-hit city of Asheville.
