    View photos and videos of flooding in Asheville in western North Carolina after Helene

    Caradoc Wyn Posted on

    The National Weather Service said Helene had cleared most of western North Carolina as of 11:21 a.m. Friday, but significant impacts, including severe flooding, were expected to continue into the weekend.

    Many areas and towns along the French Broad River are experiencing flooding and the river continues to rise.

    Landslides are still possible in the mountains, especially until the last rain subsides on Friday afternoon or evening.

    Here is some of the damage in the area caused by local social media posts:
