ASHEVILLE, N.C. — A historic village in western North Carolina is underwater after experiencing devastating flooding damage from Helene.

Tree branches, logs and a dumpster floated across Asheville’s Biltmore Village, renowned for being built and owned by a single individual.

Resident Tammy Borgesen was among the dozens of people standing outside a downtown hotel, one of the few places with Wi-Fi access, hoping to connect with loved ones.

“We’ve been trying to get an email or a text out to just let everybody know we’re OK,” said Borgesen, who had water but no power at her home. 

She said she plans to wait out the storm and “hope for the best.”
