We're getting our first look at the devastation in Western NC, what officials are now calling "Buncombe County's own Hurricane Katrina."
County Emergency Management held a press conference this afternoon, calling the damage "biblical." Here's what we learned: - No official death toll yet, and no names are being released. Recovery of bodies is still ongoing. Asheville PD is going door to door in some areas, doing welfare checks
- Cell providers say it will be "several days" before service is restored, no solid timeline yet
