Wildfires - environment keeps changing

Thanks to Good Morning America for featuring Asheville 6 months after Hurricane Helene, and raising $2.7 million to help - this morning.

Last night and this morning...

My environment:

Black Cove Complex fire

^ Made up of three fires totaling 6,500 acres

* Two largest fires are now 10-20% contained

* Two fires caused by downed power lines

* Third fire cause still under investigation

- Blaze has spread into Henderson County

- 250 houses evacuated

- Named highest priority fire in southern U.S. (3.26.25)

The 4556 acre Table Rock Fire lights the Carolinas Sky. Started in Pickens County, SC, the fire is now encroaching into Transylania County, NC, near Brevard 3.27.2025

Black Mountain is to the east (right) of Asheville, about 15 miles along I-40.
