SUMMARY: Western North Carolina is struggling to recover from Hurricane Helen, particularly local businesses that are in urgent need of assistance. A volunteer in Maran, near Asheville, emphasized the importance of rebuilding infrastructure and stated that major financial support is crucial for many businesses to reopen. He suggested that people can help by purchasing from local online shops and urged other business owners to offer support. The recovery process is complicated, with entire industries affected. Ongoing cleanup efforts are underway, and influential business leaders are expected to assist in the recovery. Financial contributions are being raised to aid humanitarian relief efforts.

Some businesses in Western North Carolina were devastated by Helene and are working towards recovery.

SUMMARY: In Pickens County, search crews are in day two of searching for Maya, a woman who went missing while hiking. As temperatures drop, urgency increases, particularly as Maya has Parkinson’s disease, potentially leaving her without medication. Her children remain hopeful despite the challenges. Search teams have covered numerous trails and found one of her dogs, along with car keys and dog treats, but no sign of Maya. The search began after her husband reported her missing. Difficult terrain and hazardous conditions, exacerbated by Hurricane Helene, have hindered efforts. Temperatures are expected to fall further, raising concerns for her safety.

A 67-year-old woman is missing after her family says she went hiking Tuesday in Pickens County, South Carolina.
