I have been to Biltmore several times. And been to the village as well. This breaks my heart to see this. I hope they can rebuild everything as it was. It is such a beautiful area. Thank you so much for covering this!
I’m heart broken. Asheville has on my bucket list of places to visit.
Biltmore Village was a wonderfully charming place. It's fortunate that most of the buildings are still standing. Hopefully, they can be preserved and restored. Modern contractors literally cannot rebuild historic structures, and even trying would doubtless cost far more than the funds available. If any building needs to be rebuilt, it will be little more than a Disney-esque caricature of what it once was. Asheville is a tragedy of almost incomprehensible dimensions. It breaks my heart.
Tropical Storm Helene hit Asheville on September 27, 2024. This was after a weather system stalled over the area for a couple of days and dumped a lot of rain. So, before Tropical Storm Helene reached the area, the ground was already saturated and creeks and rivers were already high. The tropical storm impacted multiple states and not just Asheville in North Carolina. Numerous areas of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee were devastated. They are still suffering now, over two weeks later. There were reports of at least 11 landslides along Interstate 40 and a section of I-40 between NC and TN is expected to be closed for a year. Along the Blue Ridge Parkway, there were over three dozen landslides with at least nine resulting in the road surface collapsing. In some areas, not only were the roads washed away, but so was the land underneath it. Now, it's a river. In some places, the rivers are twice to triple the width they were previously. The landslides changed the landscape of some areas. If people want to donate, do so to the relief efforts in the area. Also, unless one plans to help by bringing supplies, helping clear debris, or other similar tasks, please stay away from the area. Disaster tourism isn't helping anything. It's repugnant to monetize and profit off the suffering and loss of so many.
My great uncle lived here. He was so happy there and it was a treat to visit..im glad hes not here to see this.
Mother Nature can be fierce.
What no one seems to want to talk about right now is that flood control measures need to be taken to prevent this from happening again. This almost certainly means building dams and retention systems to contain flood water and provide a slow release after a heavy rain event. This will not be cheap, nor will it be popular with the people who will need to give up property to build these projects.
I can't see the beauty myself but I guess I'm spoilt by our own quaint picture postcard villages here in the UK
But what about the Biltmore Estate itself? It would have been nice to see the exterior of the mansion that was used in motion pictures whenever they wanted to show wealth and opulence. There are priceless tapestries hanging on walls, a huge dining room, with a very long dining table for dinner parties, and an absolutely enormous fireplace that a group of people could stand inside of without bending down. I understand that, at one time, they use to have tours available for viewing the mansion's interior. I know people who visited the estate, and said that spending the day there was an awesome experience.
It is closed now. I have reservations around Christmas and NYE, but they might cancel them if they are not open.

My vacation was planned for that week. I was going to see the Chihuly exhibit. So sad.
😊❤😊❤😊😊 I so enjoyed this video. I remember visiting Biltmore Village in 2009 was so beautiful. And pray that everything can be restored.
You've done a great job of taking a heart-break situation and turning it into hopeful charm!
It's not as badly damaged as the River Arts District. The question is always, is there a way to rebuild that would be safer from future floods? Having to elevate a very large area would be a real challenge. Were these areas damaged in 1916? They would have been built then,
