More flood footage from Steve O'Neil. This video is of the Penrose area, Hwy 64W and Crab Creek Road.
Our friend Steve O'Neil captured some aerial footage on Sept 27 in some areas he could access. He shared it with us to edit and share online. This is footage from Old Hendersonville Road in the general area of TVS, Oskar Blues Brewery, The Family Place and others. The Davidson River pours into the French Broad River in this area. Many homes were flooded.
Drone footage of the French Broad Valley between Brevard and Rosman NC on September 27. Shortly after Hurricane Helene passed through.
Drone footage of the landslide that closed Hwy 276 South in Transylvania County after Hurricane Helene.
We're back! 11 days without power/water here on See Off Mountain. Our main road to town, Becky Mountain Road, is closed - indefinitely I guess. But otherwise we were lucky not to have any major property damage. We've seen so much horrific footage of so many places/towns/rivers in WNC. It's just heartbreaking. We've also experienced the strength, creativity, generosity and courage of the people who call WNC home.
Heath shot this footage after Helene had mostly cleared out on September 27. We realized that we were unable to leave our mountain area and that the storm had been pretty bad. Like everyone else we were totally cut off from communication with the outside world and were just trying to assess. (I have cut 2 other videos of river flooding and another landslide, so look for those if you only see this one.)
We have been going through clips from the last few years while we update our website. Here are some of our favorites.
