Severe damage caused by the aftermath of Helene's impact in Biltmore Village, Asheville, North Carolina, has been captured in a video by Isabel Rosales. The footage reveals the extent of destruction in the area, which has been one of the hardest-hit by the storm. Downed power lines and debris now clutter the streets, while major roads have crumbled under the force of the storm. Restaurants, businesses, and homes have all suffered significant damage due to severe flooding.
Communities in western North Carolina, such as Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, and Spruce Pine, have been among the most severely affected by the storm. The video footage specifically showcases the devastation in Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, where floodwaters have eroded massive sections of earth, washing away roadways, homes, and vehicles.
In Chimney Rock, the impact of the flooding is particularly evident, with homes appearing as though they have been blown apart. Some structures now precariously perch on the edge of newly formed, massive cliffs left behind by the powerful floodwaters.
