Vicki Hunter’s life was turned upside down when her home was swept away by floodwaters during Hurricane Helene. She and her husband, Jerry, were unable to escape as their cars were flooded, and rescue crews were unable to reach them in time. Jerry tragically did not survive the ordeal, becoming one of the over 200 people killed by the hurricane. Vicki clung to a branch with her dog, Batman, before being rescued by search teams. She was separated from her husband during the chaos and held on to hope that he would be found alive. The devastation caused by the hurricane led to many isolated communities being cut off from relief efforts, and survivors faced uncertainty and fear for their loved ones’ well-being. Vicki’s story serves as a reminder to be grateful for life and loved ones, as she reflects on the harrowing experience of losing everything in the storm. Despite the overwhelming loss, she continues to remain strong and hopeful that she can rebuild her life.
