In a now deleted IG video, Jaclyn Hill jokes about Hurricane Helene and proceeds to give her hot take on hurricanes vs. earthquakes since she now lives in California.
Can someone smarter than me explain what happened in Asheville? Like I was surprised to learn it was so far from the shore.
Also what happened to all the towns/cities in between? Is this a case of waterways swelling because of Helene and Asheville didn't have the infrastructure?
Asheville is near a major river (French Broad) and it flooded. It’s is also a mountainous area so the floods and mudslides were swift. That area will likely be forever changed. A friend of mine is still searching for her brother after his entire home was washed away.
They were also in the hurting path and suffered damaging high winds along with the rain.
The River Arts District is under water right now. I'm wondering what happened to my favorite coffee shop (Double D's, the double decker bus). I'm betting it's gone 😔.
I hope your friend is able to find her brother. I'm completely heartbroken right now.
I hope your friend is able to find her brother. I'm from SC originally, and while the flooding hasn't been as extensive as NC, so many people are out of power/water still and will be for most of the week. It's all so horrible.
before the hurricane even arrived to asheville, they had already had over 24 hours of rain from another storm. their ground was already saturated and their rivers already swelling. then helene came through.
