Water piled up underground causing the ground to swell, it cascaded down the yard, flooding my basement with over a foot of water. Across the road the stream overflowed through the power substation.

I watched from my bedroom window as a tree, easily a hundred feet tall, caught its last gust of wind from Helene and fell onto my sister's house next door.

One year ago today Hurricane Helene ravaged Western North Carolina. I woke up experiencing a drenching rain and wind, but never imagined it would get worse as the morning progressed.
