I just moved to Atlanta from Asheville. This is the best coverage of this horrible flood I have seen. You are very brave. I am just sick to my stomach for all my precious friends. The sight of these familiar places leaves me so sad and horrified. Speachless.

Some people in the comment section need to check lost and found. Maybe someone turned in their compassion.

My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon at the builtmore 42 years ago and have visited often over the years. We had a trip planned to go there for Christmas this year for our 43rd anniversary. We are so sad this has happened to the people of Ashville and all other people and areas devastated by this hurricane. I pray for no further loss of life and for restoration. God, please help all of these families.

This looks like the aftermath of the 2011 Japan tsunami.

😢 Where does one even BEGIN the clean-up? So, so terribly heartbroken for everyone...

This slow, methodical video is so chilling. Building by building. So eerie quiet, mud and destruction everywhere.

I live in Asheville. A couple of blocks north of Biltmore Village, the location of the first part of the video. I just got internet service back 30 minutes ago. Overwhelming.

This is making me cry. 33 years ago, my husband and I had a 2 day honeymoon at the KOA Campground in Asheville. Sending prayers from New Bern.

It’s hard to believe that last week everything was normal. How quickly life can change.😢

I'm on the coast of NC. NEVER did I imagine the west of this state would look like that. It's unreal.

Praying 🙏 for all the people affected 🙏

I am overwhelmed by the level and breadth of this devastation. I pray that God will help us pull together as a country to assist those most impacted by Helene in rebuilding their lives and communities despite the incredible challenges that lie ahead.
