A western North Carolina woman told Cardinal & Pine her harrowing story of surviving a mudslide during Helene.

Yancey County resident Jennie Boyd Bull survived a mudslide caused by Hurricane Helene.

Bull was in her home when she heard a loud, roaring sound. Trees crashed into her house, knocking it off its foundation and sending it sliding down the mountain. Thankfully, her house crashed into her car, preventing it from going further down the mountain and into the South Toe River.
