A year ago, Hurricane Helene tore through these mountains and hollers, leaving record flooding and destruction in its wake.
Yet these mountains—and the people who call them home—are resilient. Generations have lived, worked, and built lives here. Our roots run deep, and our spirit doesn’t break.
Since that day, we’ve cleared debris, rebuilt roads, and helped one another rise again. And we’ll keep at it. We’ve stood here for generations, and we’ll stand here for generations to come.
Here’s to the unshakable resilience of these mountains and the people who call them home.
This is our home, and we’re not leaving. ...
