Difficult to get your head round the scale of devastation in Chimney Rock, NC. Vast swathes of it now wiped from the map. #Helene

Before and after photo showing the buildings now swept away. Nothing remains.

Wow. I've been there. If you'd told me 20 years ago "a hurricane is going to destroy this town" I wouldn't have believed you.Wow. I've been there. If you'd told me 20 years ago "a hurricane is going to destroy this town" I wouldn't have believed you.

I needed to check the mountains in the background to assure myself that was the same location. How are the trees and bushes still standing?

We used to vacation there every summer. I woke up yesterday morning remembering playing along the Broad River, and wondering what might be happening there in the storm. This is heartbreaking.

The last extended family photo we have with my brother in law was right in front of that strip. He passed away unexpectedly shortly thereafter. A real gut punch seeing it destroyed.

I count 20ish cars on that lower picture that use fossile fuels. Make America Green Again.
