Hurricane Helene Aftermath – One Year Later
The bartender pours a draft beer. The building housing Chimney Rock Smokehouse is heavily damaged. The owner immediately starts rebuilding and eleven months later reopens for business. The area residents return to their homes and reopen their businesses even though recovery will last for a number of years to come. Hurricane Helene is a deadly Atlantic hurricane that causes widespread catastrophic damage and numerous fatalities across the Southeastern United States in September 2024. The lake water level is allowed to rise naturally, but is still more than 22 feet (7 meters) low. (Photo by George Wilson/NurPhoto)
