North Carolina is grappling with what has been described as a 'biblical devastation' following the torrential rains from Tropical Storm Helene, which led to the worst flooding seen in decades. A historic village, including Biltmore Village in Asheville, is under water, and many residents, including a pregnant mom trapped in her home, are facing dire circumstances. With at least 64 fatalities reported and millions left without power, recovery efforts are underway. Governor Cooper outlined significant recovery initiatives in the NC mountains, where parts of major highways like I-40 and I-26 remain closed due to extensive damage and rockslides. Aerial footage reveals the devastating impact on towns and infrastructure, with images showing the submerged landscapes and the horrific aftermath. Evacuations are ongoing in parts of Mecklenburg and Gaston counties as fears of further flooding persist, particularly around Lake Lure where evacuation orders have been issued. The situation is described as 'catastrophic', and officials are urging residents to remain vigilant as recovery begins amid ongoing power outages and blocked access.
