The historic Biltmore Village in Asheville, North Carolina, is under several feet of water following Hurricane Helene. “We didn’t know it was going to be this catastrophic,” one woman told NBC News’ George Solis.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. —A historic village in western North Carolina is under water after bearing the brunt of devastating flooding damage from Hurricane Helene. Tree branches, logs and a dumpster floated across Asheville’s Biltmore Village, renowned for being built and owned by a single individual. Water levels appeared to be several feet high and in some places nearing the top of street signs.
” The devastation comes as Hurricane Helene landed in Georgia Thursday night, leaving widespread devastation throughout the southern U.S. At least 42 people have been confirmed dead as of Saturday and about 3.3 million customers woke up without power in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Ohio. The storm, now a post-tropical depression, has severely impacted the southeast.
