Title A name given to the resource Interview with Aisha Adams Description An account of the resource Mills River resident Aisha Adams was interviewed by Buncombe County Special Collections Librarian Carissa Pfeiffer on August 25, 2025. This interview took place at Blue Ridge Public Radio and was conducted as part of the Come Hell or High Water Oral History Project for Buncombe County Special Collections, Pack Memorial Library. Adams describes how she and her husband, daughter, and niece experienced Helene. She explains that she initially underestimated the threat [00:02:57] and realized the severity of the situation after attempting to buy groceries the Saturday after the storm [00:04:27]. She frequently reflects on healing, such as how experiencing nature in the summer following the storm helped her family rebuild positive associations [00:12:16], how routines helped her personally as she balanced responsibilities as a caretaker and a small business coach [00:13:49], and the need for collective processing [00:17:56].

The doors wouldn't open, neighbors had to kick the doors in to get us out. We made it out without a scratch or bruise on either one of us.

I don’t think I... J.J.: I think you just mentioned it briefly about washing away Riverside Park—but that’s the only reference we’ve had to it. Now the first I knew of that, I had been down to Chattanooga, TN to a meeting of the Carolina’s Hardware Association which had been invited down there by the manufacturers of Chattanooga. Well we heard reports of the rain in WNC. And on Saturday morning I had caught the train to come home and a good many people that lived in Eastern Carolina and would have gone through here, decided to go around by Atlanta and stay out of the mountains. And it was fortunate that they did, because the train I came in on from Chattanooga from in the afternoon, was the last train on the track for some time. The first I knew of it was Sunday morning about 9:00, I heard—well this thing struck Saturday night with great force along about midnight. And the first thing I knew of—it was about 9:00 Sunday morning—I heard my cook arguing with somebody that ‘he’d been away for a week and he was very tired’and she just wasn’t going to wake me up. And by that time I heard it and got out of the bed and got there, and it was the sheriff and wanted to get a piece of rope to go up on Swannanoa and tie it to a tree and run a boat out there and try to rescue Mr. Mark Reed’s family which was completely surrounded by water. Well, I got up and had a coil of rope that suited the occasion and took it out there and got them all out safely. But when it came into Biltmore with such force, that as some of the—two or three of the nurses were trying to get home from the hospital that was out at Biltmore—they were forced to climb trees. And the foreman of the Biltmore Farms, Mr. Vanderbilt’s farm, Mr. Lipe—Col. Lipe—went up to help them. In the meanwhile he found that it went up into these trees and the thing kept rising until it got four or five feet deep in the Biltmore railroad station. And they kept timber and lumber and stuff come down, beating on the trees. And finally Mr. Lipe’s daughter was in the tree with him and he took his coat off and tied her to a tree good and tight. And in the next minute or two he was swept away along with four or five nurses there. Well that came on down, the Swannanoa did and joined the French Broad, and it went, ah, I’ve never sees such a raging water in my life. We had the Smith Bridge there and the big railroad trestle. Well it just picked up houses along the banks of the river, and swirled them around and take them out into the main stream. And one big house hit that Smith bridge—it was a pebbledash house—and the dust must have been a thousand feet high. I’ve never seen such a—in this day and time, you’d thought an atom bomb exploded. And everybody hollered that the railroad bridge was going out. Well, I happened to know the man that put in the trussel down at the railroad. And I think he told me that those piers went down about 24-25 feet deep in solid rock. And with the rails tied on top, they need’t worry about that. But the timbers and the water come up to the top of the trestle—just backed up there. And the Asheville Cotton Mill, the water was 6 or 8 feet deep in there. A lot of oil companies had tanks down below the railroad next to the river and it just picked them up and carried them right off down the road just like they were a leaf. J.J.: I guess people could stand up around the hills on West End or up above Biltmore there and see the whole thing? Yes, Everybody in town was there on both sides of the river watching it. It was the most disastrous thing, in loss of life and property run way into the millions of dollars. And it took quite a time to build back. The railroad trestles were all washed away. The water seemed to have centered right over the Blue Ridge and half of it went down into North Carolina and South Carolina and Georgia, and the other half of it went into the Mississippi River. And of course at Knoxville and places like that, they had time to get their people out. But of course the property damage was very heavy. J.J.: But it started up in these mountains of course and there was no real warning? The eastern storm and the western storm met there, directly over it. Just emptied all the water that was in the clouds and the winds and down it went. But still on the sides of the mountains, where it washed the vegetation and trees off the sides of the mountains, it was just bare rock. It was a sight on earth to see at first. And now, occasionally you can see where it still hasn’t grown back since 1916. J.J.: Bet it almost made markings out of these mountains, and we’ve never really had anything comparable to it? Oh no, we’ve had one or two little floods that got out of the river bank a little bit. J.J.: But that’s the worse disaster that Asheville ever had of any kind. We’ve never had an earthquake to amount to anything? Well back in the early 80’s we heard about the earthquake down in Charleston, and there was some little shaking up here. Some people heard it.

We live off of Edney Inn in Bat Cave North Carolina. I'll start by saying that I don't know why I was doing it, but I had decided on Wednesday to keep track of how much rain fell. So I kept track of, from Wednesday to Friday when it stopped, I was keeping track with the rain gauge and at our house we got 40 inches. Yeah. And the last 20 of it came between midnight and 10:00 AM midnight Thursday and 10:00 AM Friday. So yeah, that kind of puts in perspective what ended up happening. But our house was protected from the bad winds 'cause we're on the northwest slope of the mountain. So the wind was coming out of the southeast. So during the storm, early on in the storm, I'm standing on the front porch thinking, okay, this isn't too bad. Getting a lot of rain obviously, but I can see around my house. Right around my house, water's draining fine, just there's a lot of it. But then around nine o'clock I was standing in the front porch. My wife was sitting there and I just heard this most godawful sound and I looked at her and said, "Something really bad just happened." And it sounded like a 747 flying through our valley. And what it was was that was when, using Emma's words, the mountains collapsed. That's when all the slides happen. And we have huge major slides all around us, fortunately across the river from us. But the biggest of the slides create a huge earthen dam and the water built up behind it. My neighbor actually watched it come down, the whole slide come down the hill, and then the water built up behind it and then the dam let loose. And then it just took everything in our valley out. That's what took the bridges out. That's what took the houses along the river out, took the ends of paved road, it washed it away. Anyway, we're still sitting up our house. I'm hearing all this knowing something terrible is happening. We finally get our raincoats and go down and actually see the river. And my neighbor's car was parked down at the bottom of the hill, and it was there and we turned around and looked back and it was gone. And then we get back to our house when the neighbors start banging on our door because the slide had hit our neighbor's house. And so we quickly got together and to get to them, we had to cross a stream. So we formed a human chain to get across, but she had already passed. She...sorry. The slide, it really came out of nowhere and hit the back of her house. And so the rest of the morning was then just us covering as much ground as we can to check on all the different neighbors. And fortunately everybody else was good. We did have some neighbors lose their house. But for how it started, I want to say at that moment, I was sure there was just going to be extensive loss of life given the level of the damage. So I have to give a tip to the Bat Cave fire department and all of the others that did just an amazing job evacuating people that night. During the night, my neighbor called me to say his son, they evacuated my son out of his house. And I'm like, he's well away from the river. And sure enough, the river came right up to his doorstep. But there were a lot of folks we were really worried about, but found out that they had been gotten to safety in the middle of the night by the fire department. Steve and his group, I mean, it really is nothing short of amazing what they did that night.

Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) 00:04:35 Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Hello, this is Gerry Lynam. I live in Bat Cave, North Carolina. I'm one of the survivors of Hurricane Helene. Luckily we weren't as damaged as other people, but still it was no fun. I remember in the middle of the night waking up and looking out back window and seeing the trees bending pretty far, but I didn't think much about it and went back to bed. Didn't know what was happening in front of our house in the stream that was there. The next morning when I took the dogs out, they ran out like they usually do and they stop dead in their tracks and start looking around, like, where are we, on Mars or something? So that was really kind of tough. We have a generator. It was supposed to be filled. It was very empty. It was supposed to be filled up three days after, so we didn't have any energy for a while and that was kind of concerning. My wife has health challenges, so it was very worrisome. The bridge to our property was washed out. That's kind of key in all that. So we couldn't get out. Trees were down everywhere and couldn't move until those had been cut anyway. We heard from some of our neighbors that the National Guard, North Carolina National Guard, were going to come and take us out by helio. And that was really great, but it wasn't going to be for three days. So we went back and Anne starting packing to be taken out of there and she has like five or six big suitcases with her shoes. And I said, I don't think we can use that one. [Laughs.] So about an hour after we were told it was going to be three days, the Hendersonville Rescue squad came up. They're volunteers, sharp people, knocked on the door. They gave us 20 minutes to get ready and we could only take a bag as big as what you can put under an airplane seat. So between all our meds and dog food and a bunch of different things, we had to go with that. I realized—I didn't realize it at the time, but I realized later on how upset I was. We had to hike two miles to be able to meet the helicopter because it needed solid ground and everything on our property and all was drenched. So those people, the National Guard were really wonderful. I was asking, I used to work with military legislation and policy, and I wanted to know who this, what unit this was, and I asked this, I think it was a woman due to stature because she had the helmet on and what have you. I asked her who she was and she just pointed to her ear and said she can't hear or something. Okay, that's cool. Well, a few minutes later, she was about to close the door. She ripped off her insignia off of her shoulder and handed it to me. And, you know, such a simple thing. And it just meant so much at that time. Well, before that happened though, as we were walking to the helicopter, it was rotating and noisy and what have you, and we had our two dogs with us. Kip, our yellow lab about 30 feet away from the helicopter, makes a run for the helicopter, jumps up and he picked his own seat. [Laughs.] He was ready. Molly unfortunately was freaking, but it was good. It was good. When wheels up, it was such a big relief. Thank God for keeping an eye on us and keeping less us safe. It wasn't as much damage, but I lost about four acres of trees that fell down and it was amazing. I was able to measure there was at least six feet of mud where there hadn't been. And it was nuts. But thank you for this opportunity. Thank God for all the volunteers and the county officials who have strived to help us in this tough time, and I can't extend my gratitude enough. Thank you.
