Recovery efforts underway across Western North Carolina: Latest updates

Western North Carolina is continuing to recover after the hurricane hit on the night of Sept. 26 and into the day on Sept. 27, bringing torrential rain and hurricane-force winds that brought down trees on powerlines.

Hundreds of thousands are still without power and water. We will continue with live updates throughout the day.

Henderson County remains in a State of Emergency, with the 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. curfew still in effect for the entire county.

Henderson County emergency teams continue to work calls and rescue across the county and ask residents to limit travel so crews can not only work emergencies but also Duke Energy crews can work on restoring power.

The county has launched an official hub to gather requests for donations and volunteer signups for local individuals and organizations.
