Hurricane Helene’s torrential rains triggered a mudslide that left a North Carolina family mourning the loss of 11 relatives. The Craig family, Fairview’s community pillars, lost loved ones when a mudslide devastated their house on September 27. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to assist with burial expenses and reconstruction efforts.

Alison Wisely and her two boys drowned at Green Mountain when their automobile flooded during their attempt to leave. The search for her fiancé, Knox Petrucci, continues despite the discovery of their remains.

The dead toll from Hurricane Helene has topped 230, with many more still missing. Search and rescue activities are underway, with officials collaborating closely with FEMA to assist and identify the missing. In the aftermath of the accident, the community has increased its efforts to demonstrate togetherness.
