GREENSBORO, N.C. — WFMY News 2's Amber Lake was in Asheville on Friday reporting on Helene's impact on western North Carolina.
She shared more in a Facebook post about how our news team was able to find a way home from Asheville.
Here's how our crew made it out of Asheville:
- We started on 240 West.
- Made our way down to 19 and 23 West.
- Took the upward road to Hendersonville (exit 53).
- Then turned left onto Spartanburg Highway.
- Turned left on 25 North to 26.
- Exit 8 onto 26.
- Exit 67 to Columbus.
Lake said the route is not a quick one, and it will take you a few hours. There were a few places to get gas in Hendersonville, according to Lake.
We will keep you updated with more information about road conditions and open emergency shelters in the aftermath of Helene.
