Показать описание
After Helene tore through the Carolinas late last week, early images showed flooded areas and devastation in communities around the Asheville, North Carolina area. Among those areas was the Biltmore Village area, which leads into the famed Biltmore Estate.

The estate itself is a major tourist attraction. Built over the course of six years beginning in 1889, the sprawling 250-room mansion features more than four areas of floor space that guests can explore and immerse themselves in the history of the legacy left by George Washington Vanderbilt II. Vanderbilt, a native of Staten Island in New York, chose the rolling hills near Asheville to become his country home.

As of Oct. 1, the estate itself remains closed to the public. However, the extent of any damage done to the Biltmore mansion or nearby buildings is not yet evident. In a notice posted online, estate management said the entire area the mansion and associated property sits on would be closed through Tuesday, Oct. 15 because of flooding, impassable roads, and ongoing utility outages. Employees have been asked to check in with their supervisors when possible and are also not allowed on without direction from supervisory staff.

Passholders and club members are also unable to access the grounds at this time. #Helene #Biltmore #Asheville

WHERES IS HARRIS?
WHERE IS BIDEN?
WHERE IS FEMA?
WHERE IS THE ARMY RESERVE?
WHERE IS OUR NATIONAL GAURDS?
WHERE IS THE $$ 8 BILLION tax payer DOLLARS THAT WAS JUST SENT TO UKRAINE LAST SATURDAY? WHY DO WE NOT GIVE OUR OWN COUNTRY THE SAME AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE?

You don't really show any images of the Biltmore Estate after the impact of Helene. Just some stock footage including a couple seated, sipping some wine, even some old interior shots, clearly taken well before Helene struck. With your thumbnail and video title, perhaps it would have been best to show images of the Estate after Helene's impact.

Did the actual biltmore house structure get flooded? I have seen no footage on this. As if though it is sacred ground and no helicopter or drone footage allowed. Anyone?

"The entrance to Biltmore, located in Biltmore Village, and other low-lying areas of the property, such as our farm, experienced significant flooding and damage to buildings. We are assessing structures and roadways in these areas. Biltmore House, Conservatory, winery, gardens, and our hotels received minimal or no damage from the storm. We sadly lost a few of our animals during the storm, but the vast majority are safe and accounted for thanks to our dedicated agriculture and equestrian teams." - Official Statement From Biltmore Estate, October 3, 2024

The house is too high up to get damaged from the two overflowing rivers around it. Any damage would be from a deluge of rain.

Built on high ground. Likely not flooded. Wouldn't want to open up that giant house to help the displaced. Don't ahow it. It might give the people ideas.

I guarantee you that the Biltmore house is still intact because she was built in 1800 and if she’s five that long she’ll survive 2024❤
