Hurricane Helene flooding Asheville, North Carolina: Building floats away, torn in half

Hurricane Helene flooding in Asheville, North Carolina.

A man shot video of the flooding sweeping away a building from his third floor apartment in Asheville. The water swept away the home and it broke in half as it hit a utility pole.

Hurricane Helene has left dozens of residents in the area dead and hundreds are still missing.

Those power polls look very strong. I'm not sure where I would go during an event like this but I'd hope to never be in an event like this.

[Duah-dp]

OMG... Never knew water was that strong where it just cut through buildings metal and concrete. This is blowing my mind.

[RacquelTBrooks]

What I’m really concerned with is that the buildings that are standing in that water for long periods of time are going to start to falter because of the water the water is gonna stabilize even apartment buildings and then those collapse so he needs to get help as soon as possiblebecause that building may not last even if he’s on the third floor, the structure my cave in
