Our office, Century 21 Connected, was located at 410 Swannanoa River Rd, Asheville, NC 28805. It was completely destroyed. No need to show pictures. We all know what Helene looks like. Here is a message from our firm to the public.
Dear WNC and Community,
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our hearts go out to everyone affected by the recent events. We understand the challenges many of you are facing, and we want you to know that we are here to support you during this difficult time.
Asheville is served by three water treatment plants — North Fork in Black Mountain, Mills River near the airport, and William DeBruhl in Swannanoa — which together operate thousands of miles of pipes. The above images show the breakdown of these water systems. As you can see, the North Fork supplies Asheville with 80% of its water and it is currently under construction. The main was connected today, and they are slowly opening up small sections to clear air and debris from the system.
Line Crews from all over the US and Canada have come to WNC to bring power back to our region. They have been averaging 25,000 households a day, and if you are familiar with our terrain, you can appreciate how impressive they have been.

The Grassroots efforts of WNC have been nothing but astonishing and a bright point in the history of the USA. Search and Rescue crews doing everything they can to reach those that are unreachable. Chainsaw crews and Arborists tackling the forest in a way only mountain folk know how to do. Donation Centers coordinating the massive amounts of donations and volunteers. The stories will be told for decades to come. The stories of how WNC is one of the greatest communities on the planet.
