Hurricane Helene in Asheville NC. What happened here?

Hurricane Helene swept across much of the south east and caused catastrophic damage to most of Appalachia. I had no idea what I was getting ready to document when I started this video over a week ago, and when I finished filming I still didn’t know the full extent of the damage. We didn’t have cell service and internet for several days and were cut off from everyone else. When connection and cell service start coming back, we learned what a tragedy hit our region. Many neighborhoods and even whole towns are swept away, roads are completely destroyed and many areas are unreachable still(!!) people lost lives, homes, businesses, farms- everything. My heart is heavy💔. If anyone is inclined to help, follow me on IG where I post about ways to donate/help/volunteer.
