Tropical Major Hurricane Helene

[Brick Tamland]

Have a friend who went back to her hometown of Old Fort this past weekend. Sent me photos of the damage there and it is awful. Luckily her mom's house didn't get damaged. She took this photo of where they found someone who had died. Very sad situation.

Yancy county still has 2K without power . Unbelievable this far away from the event.

If Asheville didn't build the spillway in 2020, the entire Asheville could have been without water for at least a year and towns washed away.

This is shocking, as WLOS provides new figures:

The Buncombe County Family Resource Center tells News 13 that they've identified 878 new homeless students since the storm. That is in addition to the 274 students identified in Buncombe County as homeless before Helene. It totals 1,152 kids without permanent homes, some living in tents, cars and campers.
