The devastation from Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina is reminding some people in the state of the damage caused by Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Hurricane Florence in 2018 – and the long wait for aid that followed.
WRAL News spoke with William Bullock, survivor of those hurricanes, who explained his painful and lengthy road to recovery.
“We had water in the road,” Bullock recalled from Hurricane Matthew. “We had water just about this whole area here.
“We even had little boats come through and pick us up … A lot of cars were almost underneath the water.
