BREAKING The Amish came to Western NC and built 100+ tiny homes to shelter Helene victims from the cold mountain weather. Local and state authorities kicked the victims out of their houses, saying they didn't pass code.

MitCo. also confirms, at the time of this post, no one has been evicted from temp structures based on its noncompliance with the 2018 NC Building Code. For further clarity or an official statement, please reach out to the PIO for Mitchell Co. Mitchell.heleneresource@gmail.com
