Hurricane Helene left western North Carolina devastated, with towns swept away and a death toll that continues to climb.
Molly Wardlaw, an Asheville resident, gave birth to her baby daughter and was released from the hospital as the storm approached. The following days were both harrowing and heartwarming. Athens temporarily became home to Wardlaw and her family a few days after the hurricane hit.
She sat down with WUGA to tell their story, encouraging Athenians to reflect on their own preparedness for storms.
