Buncombe Heals

This location at the Nature Center in Asheville still looks almost exactly this way, a year later. People a little ways east in Swannanoa, who got hit so hard, are still in need.

Why do you think that? Has something happened lately?

Please watch tonight’s town hall with Chuck Edwards in Asheville, NC. Remember, we were devastated by Hurricane Helene and Scott Turner Xed “DEI is dead at HUB” referring to our Draft Recovery Plan. There are so many questions that need answering @maddow.msnbc.com

‘Days of betrayal and neglect are over,' Trump says during visit of Helene-ravaged WNC President Donald Trump visited WNC Jan. 24 to meet with families and survey damage from Tropical Storm Helene, which hit WNC four months ago.

“FEMA has been a disaster, no matter where they are.” - Quote from Trump while visiting Asheville 4 months after Helene.
