Scars on the Mountain<\/h3>\n

When Hurricane Helene\u2014the deadliest U.S. storm since Katrina\u2014unleashed its fury 300 miles inland, it defied all expectations, turning North Carolina\u2019s Appalachian Mountains into ground zero. In the quiet town of Burnsville, thirty feet of water rose in minutes, severing the community from the world. Scars on the Mountain is told entirely through the voices of survivors\u2014a visceral meditation on loss, resilience, and the quiet strength that lingers long after the floodwaters recede and the scars remain.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
