Search and rescue workers were fanning through the small town of Chimney Rock east of Asheville Monday after it was almost entirely wiped out.

Tracy Stevens had left her house in Chimney Rock Thursday night and gotten a room at the Lake Lure Inn, which had a generator and was staying open through the storm. The two towns, both popular tourist destinations, are walking distance to one another, joined by a bridge across the Broad River in the mountains of Rutherford County.

Chimney Rock’s gone. Flowering Bridge is gone,” Banff is heard saying while filming the devastation. “I’m not sure what they’re going to do to get us out of here.”
