Tropical Storm Helene swept through western North Carolina and the Asheville area on Sept. 27, causing massive power outages, dam and reservoir breaches and countless downed trees.
Widespread cell service disruptions and impassable roads have left people cut off, disconnected or trapped in their homes.
Asheville, a city of 95,000 on the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, remains mostly without power, cell service and water Monday.
