Now, the area is experiencing historic flooding thanks to Helene and is largely underwater.

More than 200 people were reported rescued from flood waters in North Carolina following Helene’s torrential rains with more expected in the coming days. Water levels in the Biltmore Village of Asheville reached the first story of many buildings.

The tremendous water damage caused by Hurricane Helene will need cooperation and substantial resources from local companies, citizens, and government agencies in order to rebuild Biltmore Village in Asheville.
