Episode 22 - Grey Hawk Bar & Gardens

After Hurricane Helene swept through Western North Carolina, Lake Lure was left unrecognizable.
Silt, sediment, propane tanks, mattresses, refrigerators…debris from entire homes filled the water.

In this episode, George shares what it was like to witness Lake Lure in the aftermath: surreal, unbelievable, and deeply disturbing. He’s joined by his partner Adam, and together they talk about how Helene didn’t just change the landscape, it impacted their lives, their livelihood, and their business in ways they never expected.

This is a story about what the flood left behind, and what it couldn’t wash away.
