About this listen

No one expected the devastation Hurricane Helene would cause to the mountains of Western North Carolina.

It was a one-thousand-year event that caused massive flooding and triggered thousands of landslides. More than two hundred thirty souls lost their lives. Countless others are still missing.

This is my story of survival during and after Hurricane Helene in Burnsville, North Carolina. It was a time when there was no power, water, cell phones, or outside communication at all. We were trapped in a seven-mile radius. All the roads to leave were destroyed.

It is the story of a community coming together and helping one another survive in the worst imaginable times. Our beautiful mountains will never be the same, but we will survive.

We will rebuild, Come Hell or High Water.
