Tropical Storm Helene Road to Banner Elk North Carolina

My wife was on Banner Elk Hwy when the Helene became most powerful in western North Carolina. She made it to Banner Elk around 7:30 am on September 27 2024but was turned around. When She started heading back she had a tree fall right in front of her. She ended up sleeping overnight in her vehicle. I went the day after to get her. You will see just before I got to her the crew in fron of me cutting the last of the trees before where she was. There is so much Devistation in the area, please pray for everyone's safety.

Thank you for posting. I grew up in Banner Elk. I live in Orlando. My Father and Grandmother live in Matney and Banner Elk. I wish I could get ahold of them. I am praying for all my friends and family

A lot of the homes seem to be in one piece with no significant damage. There are a lot of downed trees and power lines but the roads are navigable. They're luckier than most other people.

Sad to see the old Heaton store washed out. I spent most of my life in Avery County. I miss living there. Some of the finest people I have ever known live there. I hope they are all well.

Cuz you can’t pick anything good.. it’s all copyrighted 😂

I appreciate the video, mind blowing. But you didn’t make it to Banner Elk. Should be titled Road to Elk Valley

Ate at a restaurant in town when I went skiing at Sugar Mountain.. rough, steep roads!

WHAT ABOUT CRANBERRY GAP? YOU WERE RIGHT THERE!

[@Tattor1967]

Watch out for future land slides! That soil has shifted and gotten weak spots all.around. The next rain or high winds could trigger the ground to give away
