To say that it will be years before some areas recover is a massive understatement. Personally, I don&#8217;t think we will ever have an accurate death toll from this disaster either. A week ago, I drove through a couple of the hardest hit areas in Asheville and I can tell you that no photo or video will ever prepare you for seeing that amount of damage and destruction in person. It was sobering and heartbreaking. I will forever say that we were so lucky in my neighborhood. It could have been so bad here if Helene had shifted further west.<\/p>\n<p>As a Side Note: For years, I have seen people mark themselves safe from various natural disasters and events on Facebook.
