It is day #4 in the generally unexpected worst effect impact zone from Hurricane Helene. The area west of Black Mountain, North Carolina, through the eastern portion of Tennessee is facing a major crisis that continues to unfold.
After three days of almost no communication from the region outside what the private sector and social media could put together, North Carolina governor Roy Cooper finally said, “the catastrophic devastation to western North Carolina is like nothing we have ever seen.” Damage to roads, bridges, highways and all infrastructure in the impact zone is extreme. Many areas remain cut-off as the roads and bridges have been destroyed.
