Photos and videos show Helene's aftermath

Photos and videos have captured “biblical devastation” in Asheville, North Carolina, as residents scramble for resources after flooding and power outages that led to gas and water shortages.

Roads were submerged, vehicles and homes were destroyed and residents had to pick up the debris left behind by Helene, which flooded the area with torrential rain late last week after making landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane.

“Tropical Storm Helene caused severe damage to the production and distribution system of the City of Asheville’s water system,” the City of Asheville said in a statement Saturday. “Extensive repairs are required to treatment facilities, underground and above-ground water mains, and washed-away roads that prevent water personnel from accessing portions of the system.”
