Hurricane Helene’s wrath devastated the Asheville, North Carolina, region while wreaking havoc across the Southeastern United States two weeks ago.
The Daily Signal traveled to Western North Carolina in the immediate aftermath of the storm.
While the mainstream media’s coverage focuses exclusively on ravaged metropolitan areas, like the fabled River Arts District in Asheville, The Daily Signal traversed many of the rural communities in Henderson and Rutherford counties to tell the stories of those hardest hit by Helene.
Our journey began last Saturday morning in Big Oak Mobile Park, a trailer park community in Hendersonville, which consists of about 40 homes. Its residents, many of whom are over 55 years old and in declining health, were without power for more than 10 days.
