US Edition'This town is going to be stronger than it ever was' | Checking in with Hot Springs, 6 months after Helene
- Six months after Hurricane Helene devastated parts of North Carolina in September, signs of destruction are still visible, especially in the south end of towns like Marshall and Hot Springs, where many buildings were destroyed or swept away by floodwaters.
- The devastation from Hurricane Helene, which brought floodwaters up to 12 feet inside some businesses, followed other disasters, including Hurricane Idalia and a previous tornado that hit the Pfizer plant in 2023.
- Businesses like On Your Bike caf in Marshall, owned by Alex Webber, and Kane's Cattle Co. Steakhouse in Crystal River, owned by Sundberg, experienced significant flood damage, with Webber describing the aftermath as looking "a bit like a war zone".
- Despite the destruction, communities have come together, with residents and crews working to uplift those suffering, exemplified by a community potluck on Christmas Day in Hot Springs that drew over 200 people, according to Big Pillow Brewing owner Chris Donochod.
