Old Fort, NC Flood Damage | Hurricane Helene

Yesterday morning, Western North Carolina experienced one of the worst floods in history in the area. We ventured as far west as we could to continue documenting the impacts of Hurricane Helene, and made it to Old Fort, NC, before being turned back.
We continue to pray for the families of WNC and especially in the heart of the Nolichucky Gorge. After seeing photos from the area along former Clinchfield line, I would be willing to say the line won’t see a train for upwards of a year, and possibly never again.
