Several East Tennessee counties are still working to rebuild months after Helene ripped through, including Unicoi County.
On September 27th, the Nolichucky River flooded parts of the county. The river flooded businesses, churches and homes. Now nearly six months later, people are still hopeful it can return to normal.
Along the river, debris is getting cleaned up and stockpiled.
As the Riverview Baptist Church is rebuilding, residents hope it’s a sign of better days ahead as they hope to have their first Sunday service after Helene on Easter.
The Unicoi County Hospital remains closed after it flooded and dozens had to be rescued off the roof.
