Come Hell or High Water is a community memory project to collect, preserve, and present the stories and digital record of the Western North Carolina communities impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. We hope to create a pathway for community reflection, healing, and long-term development of community memory not afforded victims of past disasters (like the Great Flood of 1916).

This project is made possible thanks to the Friends of Buncombe County Special Collections, Buncombe County Public Libraries, and countless community volunteers.
