Customer Reviews
This was sold out and out of print. You had it and was able to get copies to friends who were not able to. Much appreciated.
Mountain Strong: Tropical Storm Helene: Perseverance amid historic flooding, destruction in Western North Carolina
I survived Hurricane Helene and now have PTSD as a result. My husband, little dog and myself had been without power and living deep in one of the hardest hit areas, had no idea we were about to be hit by Helene and a tornado, there were no sirens, nothing. We only suffered $22k in damages and lost 26 trees. We lived in Spruce Pine, NC at an elevation of 2600’ and were safe from flooding but many of the mountains actually collapsed. There was no way in or out. We were totally on our own. The book was accurate but I was disappointed that Spruce Pine didn’t get coverage. I saw good people that lost their lives floating in the river. They were at least due better respect than they got. That said, it is a beautiful book.
This book is beautiful!
This is an excellent book that documents the destruction and slow rebuilding of Western North Carolina after Tropical Storm Helene slammed our area. Photos, interviews, and newspaper stories help tell the story that we hope will never need retelling again.
It was really written very good
Very good quality book. So sad to see all the destruction.
Such a wonderful book! This book recognizes the hardships of our mountain families faced and their will to survive the hardships they faced and are still facing
