Avery County has declared a State of Emergency for Hurricane Helene.
A curfew is in effect between the hours of 8:00 pm and 5:00 am by the chairperson of Avery County Board of Commissioners.
During this event, any evacuation orders could be mandatory.
The adjustments have been made for the saftey of all citizens, after reports from the US National Weather Service advise that this is a life threatening event with anywhere from 10-15 inches of rain to follow and wind gusts over 50mph.
