A compound of campers and recreational vehicles, along with two tents, has been set up on adjoining pieces of property owned by Dara Cody and Joe Bryant off Old U.S. 70. Twenty to 30 people are staying on the property at any given time, the property owners and organizers said.

John Boyle, reporter and columnist with Asheville Watchdog, shared the progress and ongoing concerns related to Asheville's water system, which was wiped away by the impact of Helene. He also talked about how some victims of the storm, who lost their homes, were making their current homes within a compound in Swannanoa. This interview originally aired in December.
