Helene floodwaters recede, leaving widespread destruction in Boone, NC

Just two hours north of Charlotte, Boone is facing a long and challenging recovery after Hurricane Helene left a trail of destruction across Watauga County. King Street was completely flooded when the storm brought torrential rain on Friday, then high winds knocked down countless trees and power lines. Mayor Tim Futrelle announced the town is operating under a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew to reduce the number of cars on potentially flooded roads. 'I've never heard the mountains groan' As recovery efforts from Helene continue in Boone, North Carolina, a sinkhole has formed near Wilson Ridge and Bamboo Road. An example, officials say, that everyone should avoid unnecessary travel. "The mountain exploded with water everywhere and it was like white water rafting for a couple hundred meters wide and it was just coming down everywhere that it could," Curtis Hubbard, a Boone resident, told WCNC Charlotte. "I've never heard the mountains... groan... you could hear the trees rushing." Hubbard says his street, Pinnacle Drive, is no longer passable by car. "I don’t know how they are going to get vehicles up there to even fix the power because there's only one way in and one way out," he said." The scars left behind from the storm will be long-lasting. "The closer to the top the worst it seems to get," Joe Baumhover, another Boone resident, explained. "As far as trees that look like they have been there 100 years they're no longer there." #Boone #Helene Read more: https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/...
