Inside the North Carolina mountain town that Hurricane Helene nearly wiped off the map
In just a matter of minutes, nature undid most of what it has taken humans 125 years to build in Chimney Rock.

That's hard to read. A lot of the people at the uni where I previously worked head up to that part of NC on their days off, and as soon as it was clear what had happened at Chimney Rock, my facebook feed started filling up with photos that friends had taken while visiting Chimney Rock.
And not just there, but all through that area. It was once of the most beautiful places and the scope and severity of the destruction... It reminds me of photos and video of the tsunami in Japan.
The power of water is almost unthinkable.
