Is Asheville still standing after hurricane Helene?

The aftermath of Helene going through Asheville NC- it’s nothing like what we’ve ever experienced. 

At the time of this video, there’s still no power in some parts of Asheville NC, and majority of Asheville is without water (timeframe to restore is unknown). Asheville city schools are digging their own wells to gets kids back to schools.
South Asheville got running water from Mills River- consider ourselves really really fortunate. 

In the next videos, I’ll be covering other areas as much as I can without being a nuisance to those who live there and been affected,  and those who are doing recovery and clean up work. I’ll do my best to share updates, what to expect  and what it looks like from real people’s perspectives, from people who actually live and work in these areas.

I am from Russia, Western Siberia to be exact (no, it’s not that bad ). My husband and I lived in Asheville since 2004 and absolutely love it here! In 2015 we became parents to a baby boy, Dmitry (named after my grandfather). And in January 2020 Dmitry became a big brother to Katya. We now share our home with Romeo, who is a jack russell (We lost our first dog in 2022).

I’m glad you made this video and pointed out areas that were not harmed. I was hearing over and over that Asheville was completely destroyed. I’m grateful it wasn’t.

[bobbaker]

Continued prayers for all of you in Asheville & surrounding communities. I’ve been through Asheville, what a beautiful place. I’m sorry for all the loss to you all. 🙏🙏🙏

Great job. I have cried and cried for my hometown. I had to go there and see for myself. I prayed over whole area for quick repair and hope filled hearts. Asheville will rise again. ❤❤❤❤❤

[kimhayes]

From someone who spent most of their life around that area and now lives in Cleveland am very thankful for your video. Its good to see the hope and structures that are still in good shape. Thank you.

The news never talks about the aftermath, only the devastation. Thank you for your helpful video

[GayWilliams-ox]

Thank you for posting. We have hoped and prayed that you and your family are safe.

Amazing vlog. Thank you so much for taking us on this tour and for recording your thoughts along the way. I feel much better informed. It's true ... areas were wiped out and then, not that far away, other areas experienced very little damage. We needed to see this. And, to hear how the people of this area are responding -- assisting each other without hesitation to repair their lives. Good luck to you to and people of Asheville, NC.

I pray for the lady in Swanaola that she not be forgotten. Please please please help her. I pray someone can help her with the mud, mold, but may need to rebuild. I pray for services and resources for her and her neighbors. Thank you for reporting.

I was just in Asheville with my family in 2022 we’ve been visiting there and brevard for years always the best times and the best people up there just praying for the best recovery outcome for y’all

[lindaglaze]

Thanks for covering the real Asheville. I just found your channel and appreciate your telling the truth. I'm in the South Slope area (on a high hill) that the French Broad River mostly destroyed.

[joyceredman]

Thank you for doing this video. I visited Asheville last year, loved it and have been really upset that this area suffered so much devastation. I am so glad that there are pockets around the commercial area are doing relatively well on higher ground not by the rivers. It will take time for all infrastructure to be restored. This video definitely gives hope to those who visited there and want to return one day.

[jenniferjemison]

Good job reporting on the positives and negatives. Great insight. Much appreciated. I thought Ashville was completely gone. Thanks again.❤

[jimmi]

I was out on tour when this hit and still haven't been home yet, I never realized how much this city and area mean to me until this . can't wait to get home.

[Majorbrownfinger]

I live in Burnsville my apartment was mostly destroyed and all of my neighbors on the cane river like me lost their homes completely. Lots of dogs with collars but no owners around. My community will never look or be the same some areas won’t have power for probably years out here.

[jjroseknows]

Thank you so very much for showing us a fair and balanced picture of Asheville. It is calming to see the truth.
