Rebuilding in the Blue Ridge area:
The Blue Ridge area of North Carolina, known for its breathtaking mountain vistas, dense forests, and quaint communities, is not immune to extreme weather events but Helene’s damage was both unpredictable and devastating. While the mountainous terrain provides some natural protection against direct hits, the rapid arrival of Helene caused extensive flash flooding and landslides as the storm passed through. From a simple broken window to entire homes washing away, rebuilding in the area has been a complex process that many residents continue to navigate.
From the moment the news from the Blue Ridge area was broadcast, the team at Ken Harvey Homes knew they wanted to help.
