  • Aftermath of flooding from Hurricane Helene in Avery County and Watauga County. Pictures and videos were taken in Blowing Rock, Boone, Valle Crucis, and Banner Elk. The shot of the trees on top of cars is in a parking lot for student housing at Lees-McCrae College, and there were several students stranded there. All pictures and videos were taken on September 28, 2024. The footage isn't great. My dashcam messed up and I had to use my cellphone, which was hard to do with the road conditions, but I hope it does a good job portraying the extent of the damage.

    I can appreciate that your trying to show the extent of damage that happened, yet taking a drive thru it for the sake of a looky-loo doesn't help the situation either.
    Clearly those roads are in serious distress; as well as added traffic only hinders powercrews, local emergency services, & those living in the area trying to get things sorted out.
    With respect, its a natural disaster area, NOT a tourist attraction. Please either be there to help the locals, or stay out of the area.

      Knock it off Karen... did you see any power crews, or local emergency services being blocked?
