Hurricane Helene deeply impacted every corner of Burke County—and its effects are still felt today. The community is invited to join together on September 27 at 10:00 a.m. at the Catawba River Soccer Park for the premiere of a short documentary honoring:
- Those who responded to the storm,
- Those who prepared in advance,
- Those who were directly impacted, and
- Those who are still feeling the effects of Hurricane Helene today.
This special event is offered by Burke County Government in proud partnership and co-hosted by the City of Morganton. There will be seating, light refreshments, and a raffle available for attendees. The event is intended to bring people together to remember a challenging time that brought out the very best in the community—unity, resilience, compassion, and unwavering faith in one another.
