Raw aerial footage shows the destruction in Asheville and parts of western North Carolina

Roads and interstates around Asheville, North Carolina were washed out by surging floodwaters, essentially cutting the city off. Other towns and portions of western North Carolina have been heavily damaged from the rain that fell from what was then Hurricane Helene.

Moody's Analytics said property damages could range from $15-26 billion.
