Scars on the Mountain

Reached #1 on Angel within 36 hours.

When Hurricane Helene unleashed its fury 300 miles inland, it defied expectations, turning North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains into ground zero. Yancey County was devastated. Within hours, record-breaking flash floods and landslides ravaged the small mountain community. Roads collapsed. Power vanished. Communication failed. With no way in or out, the community became its own lifeline.

Told through firsthand accounts, Scars on the Mountain follows survivors, first responders, volunteers, and families through the disaster and the long recovery that followed.
