Social media users uploaded videos of houses floating away in Asheville, North Carolina, over the weekend as floodwaters ripped through the Tar Heel State.

While much of the media focused on Florida as Hurricane Helene made landfall, North Carolina has been hit with major flooding.

Several videos uploaded on social media show entire homes being swept away by floodwaters caused by Hurricane Helene.

Take a look:

Tropical Storm Helene has wreaked havoc on Asheville, North Carolina, where entire homes have been seen floating away. The damage is so severe that the city is facing what experts are calling a 1,000-year flood that broke the July 16, 1916 record of 23.1 feet. @ABC11_WTVD pic.twitter.com/lEXTqcvJqG

Per Hindustan Times:

Asheville, a city in North Carolina, suffered the brunt of record-high flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. A video even shows a house floating away.

With the aftermath assessment of Hurricane Helene’s disastrous ravages felt in the southeastern US underway, the mounting death toll has cast a sorrowful shroud of tragedy over several states. Massive rains, flooding and landslides were attributed to the Category 4 storm that hit Florida’s Big Bend region late Thursday, September 26. The powerful winds of 140 mph eventually moved through Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee, wreaking havoc in its path.

The latest death tally reported by the Associated Press indicates that at least 52 people have lost their lives due to the widespread destruction. The frightening fury of the tempest brought forth shocking visuals that are hard to watch and digest.

While the media focus was predominantly thrust in Florida’s direction, North Carolinarecorded its share of all-time high catastrophes. NBC News reported Saturday that Asheville’s Biltmore Village, a historic village in western North Carolina owned by a single individual, is now underwater after bearing the brunt of damage caused by Helene.

This is in Swannanoa, about 5 minutes east of Asheville, NC. The people in these homes had to break windows to escape and get to higher ground. If you zoom in you'll see someone on the roof. It's unbelievable.

This is historic flooding across Western NC.

Per KCCI:

Residents of Asheville, North Carolina, described “complete pandemonium” in their city after Helene brought several feet of floodwater and pushed large debris into streets overnight.

Samuel Hayes said he woke up with several calls from his employees telling him about fallen trees on their roofs, water pouring into their homes and mudslides.

“Complete pandemonium around the city,” Hayes told CNN’s Isabel Rosales. “It’s going to take us a long time to clean this up.”

Hayes and another Asheville native, Maxwell Kline, described the River Arts District neighborhood as being inundated with oil-contaminated floodwaters.

“A lot of businesses are completely wrecked … I’ve never seen anything like that since I’ve lived here. It’s absolutely a tragedy,” Kline said.

Gas pumps were down and they lost power, internet and cell phone service for hours, they said. “Can’t get anything right now – no food you can buy, no gas, nothing,” Kline said.
