Western North Carolina Agency Releases Video Showing Local Responders' Hurricane Experience

The Black Mountain (North Carolina) Police Department has produced a 10-minute video that captures the experience of local first responders during and after flooding caused by Hurricane Helene.

The video is broken into four chapters:

• Chapter 1 - The Night of the Storm

• Chapter 2 - The Destruction

• Chapter 3 - The Rescue

• Chapter 4 - Black Mountain Strong

"When we did the chapters, we wanted to show the night of the storm and the day after and how devastating and violent the storm was," Black Mountain Police Chief Steve Parker told News 13 . "Then we wanted to show how we spent our time rescuing and helping people and working together to get to those in need. Then we wanted to talk about the recovery process and how we started to move forward and last, we wanted to talk about where we were in the last chapter and how the communities have come together and how we recover from power and water."
