Today is 2 years from #Helene wreaking havoc on our area of western North Carolina, hundreds of miles away from where it came ashore, and causing devastating flooding and mudslides, taking lives and homes. This year mostly what we've had is drought. All those trees down from the storm and no rain are also not a good recipe. I'm not allowed to talk about more water needed today, however. Please visit #Asheville if you have any interest, our area could use the boost.

And here's a video of some of the changes, although they whip past the photos too fast. A lot of progress, but many people are still struggling. https://avlwatchdog.org/tropical-storm-helene-two-years-later/ #Asheville #Helene #Recovery

Tropical Storm Helene, two years later • Asheville Watchdog

This week marks two years since Tropical Storm Helene devastated western North Carolina. Recovery continues, with progress in many places and difficult work remaining in others. For many people, Helene is remembered not only for its destruction, but for the way neighbors, volunteers and communities came together. To note the anniversary, Watchdog photographer Katie Linsky […]

We just had about an hour of very heavy rain, reaching 3"/hour rate for a good 20 minutes. Most of the new woodland garden held up well, but MAN that was a lot of rain at once. No wonder we were under a flood watch, hoping no one at more risk than us had any problems. #NCwx #Asheville #Rain

📰 NC NEWS Asheville Unveils Riverfront Redesign 🏞️ After Tropical Storm Helene buried the French Broad River parks under debris and historic floodwaters, Asheville has introduced a unified five‑mile redesign. 🌊 The plan leans into nature‑based resilience, focused on flood‑adapted public spaces, restored wetlands, and improved river access. One welcome design element is the re-establishment of native rivercane to bolster riverbanks. 🧩 The project deploys climate‑aware infrastructure to strengthen habitats, recreation, and long‑term public safety. 🔗 https://www.ashevillenc.gov/news/city-of-asheville-introduces-unified-design-for-french-broad-riverfront-parks-recovery-project/ @NCConnect@fedigroups.social#AVL #Asheville #FrenchBroadRiver #ClimateResilience #UrbanPlanning #Parks #FloodAdaptation #Infrastructure #Environment #EcologicalRestoration

Mission Hospital in #Asheville has had another death, as reported via the #AVLWatchdog This system used to be excellent, until purchased by the for-profit HCA, after which they cut staffing and destroyed care. It's not the staff. It's the staffing. CMS has had them under "immediate jeopardy" 4 times since 2021. https://avlwatchdog.org/patient-on-psychiatric-hold-dies-by-suicide-in-mission-hospital-emergency-department/

We visited one of the other 2 High Five #Coffee locations here in #Asheville today. The Man spoke to a barista he recognized from the river location (and who recognized him as well.) The fellow said they're all getting shifts at the 2 remaining cafe's and that they will definitely rebuild. He also said the owner was thinking about bringing in a coffee truck there in the meantime, which we enthusiastically supported. The Man gave him a large tip, and told him we'd supported them via the GoFundMe, and we hoped they'd be ok in the meantime. So, hope for all, I guess. #Arson

Ok, I am now wondering who at the state level was compensated for approving Mission Hospital getting the extra beds 4 systems were applying for. HCA has been cited 4 times since they bought our non-profit hospital system for failing to keep patients safe, and THEY were awarded the 129 new beds? And this was in their CON: Increase capacity by 12% but staffing by less than 4%? Not enough that their initial purchase was incredibly fraught, but we're doing this now, as well? https://avlwatchdog.org/in-quest-for-more-beds-mission-plans-to-keep-staff-lean-con-application-shows/ #Asheville #NC

Mission Hospital has no plans to add staff in key areas – including trauma care, security, and nursing administration – as part of its recently approved, now-contested, 95-bed acute-care expansion, according to its application to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Despite conditional approval from NCDHHS to build its capacity up to […]

We went for a drive along the #BRP west of #Asheville today, and it was one of our best ever. While 72F and overcast at home (2160') by the time we got to our favorite Roy Taylor Overlook (5580') it was a gorgeous blue sky, quite windy and 60F. I thought we'd be seeing fully leafed-out trees, but at this elevation most of the trees had just barely begun, a good month-plus behind ours. It was like Second Spring, and absolutely beautiful. This is one of my favorite spots, and the tourists today just swooped through the parking area, and never got out to go look at the overlook. #Spring

The standard Fox News fare of BS and partisan slurs over reality apparently targeted #Asheville a week or so ago and I had missed it. They did manage to talk only to Republicans. https://www.foxnews.com/us/charming-mountain-escape-battling-homelessness-homeowners-say-turned-postcard-city-go-zone Today, the #AVLWatchdog had a pretty good rejoinder, including the fact that one of the Repubs they had interviewed is not only running for Governor, but also the head of Trump's FEMA, which should be providing funds for the area to recover after Helene: https://avlwatchdog.org/opinion-i-spent-an-afternoon-in-downtown-asheville-and-lived-to-tell-about-it/

RE: https://fediscience.org/@ZLabe/116482270276780250 This is something we're certainly seeing here in #Asheville, and we're nowhere near the regions seeing the biggest time shift. Soon we won't be able to remark on how unusual this all is.

Apparently a damaged building on Lyman in the #Asheville River Arts District burned last night. It was a former paper recycling business and was abandoned even before Helene. https://wlos.com #Fire
