A devastating event occurred along the Elk River in North Carolina, where a house was swept away by the destructive tide brought on by Helene. The homeowners, Rod Ashby and his wife Kim, had built their home 20 feet above the historic flood lines of the river, but unfortunately, their precautions were not enough to withstand the force of nature.
The incident took place during breakfast on a Friday morning when Rod Ashby noticed something was amiss. In a matter of seconds, their house was carried away by the river, leaving the family in a state of shock and despair.
