SUMMARY: Hurricane Helen caused significant devastation in Biltmore Village, now unrecognizable, as reported from the outskirts where mud and debris are strewn about. Structures have been damaged, including one leaning against a tree, showcasing the storm’s impact. Lars, a local business manager, expressed shock at the destruction of this once-thriving area. While the outskirts suffered greatly, downtown Asheville saw less damage, though residents reported losing phone service since the storm. Community members are rallying to support each other, providing food and spreading joy through music as they cope with the aftermath and work toward recovery.

Many residents are without power or water in Asheville, even days after flooding hit the area.
