Devastating Flood Leaves Historic North Carolina Village Submerged


Historic Biltmore Village in Asheville, North Carolina, has been severely impacted by flooding from Hurricane Helene, with water levels rising several feet high and causing significant damage. Residents are devastated by the destruction, with one woman calling it catastrophic. The French Broad River also overflowed in the River Arts District of Asheville, adding to the devastation.

The entire south was affected by Hurricane Helene, with at least 42 confirmed deaths and millions left without power in states such as South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Ohio. The storm, now a post-tropical depression, has caused widespread destruction throughout the region.

President Joe Biden has approved emergency declaration requests from several governors in the affected states. Federal assistance will be provided to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina, with over 1,500 federal personnel deployed to assist in search and rescue operations, medical aid, and power restoration.

The impact of Hurricane Helene serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of climate change, with a resident in Asheville blaming the destruction on climate change. The devastating flooding and damage in Biltmore Village and the River Arts District highlight the urgent need for action to address the effects of climate change and protect communities from future natural disasters.
