Rachel Panarese2 :

Like people who experienced the storm? I live in Greer SC and a tree landed on my house from that storm.

Jack Marshall :

I was near Colletsville near 181 and have videos and pictures from all over western NC bcwe couldn't do anything but drive around.

Rowan’s Mommy💙🦋 :

10 days no power in my metal trailer with no cover it was over 100 degrees my house I’m glad that’s the only part I had to endure I can deal with lost food in the fridge and freezer I can’t deal with the lives lost and still not found ❤️‍🩹

Sniickersnee🔪 :

I'm still displaced! Can I ask what these stories will be used for?

Jess :

I was between Marion and spruce pine .. didn’t have power for almost a month and WiFi took longer than that.. no phone signal for 12 days

i wrote a 3 page essay about my experience

Mama Kae✨🩵 :

VA experienced loss from Helene as well.

Becky Davis :

I live at the Yancey/Mitchel line in WNC, on the North Toe River. There are no words to accurately describe the storm and I was a lucky one.

MC Mountcastle :

I live by the Linville gorge in WNC. It was like living in a war zone for weeks. While I have stories, I have the exact person you should interview. My buddy had like several dead people on his road. His story is wild.

JeanTravers :

Ashe County survivor here! I live right on the river and it came into our house 6 1/2 feet! #Devastation
