Hurricane Helene in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Just a month ago my town experienced crazy, epic flooding. They are calling it the 100 year flood. Hurricane Helene made it to the mountains. It was very scary and a lot of people lost homes, family, pets and entire homes to the flood. We were without water and power for weeks. I just got back to school as it was closed for a month. I am very fortunate and still have all my friends and family accounted for. I am glad to be back at school and will never forget this time.
